MIGHT HAVE HELPED.

Speaking in a Washington club th* other night of overcoming difficulties, Congressman John M. Nelson of Wisconsin told of the happy thought of little Gladys. Some time ago. according so the congressman, little Gladys sat watching her mother ironing some white frocks. The day was very warm and mother was rather weary. “Mamina,” finally asked the youngster, “isn’t it awfully hard to iron?” “Yes, dear,” answered the tired parent, „with a gentle sigh, “sometimes It is very hard.” For -a—moment the little girl was very thoughtful, and then came a ray of sunshine that rippled over uef pretty features. “Oh, mamma." she enthusiastically exclaimed, "wouldn’t it have been fine if you had married a Chinese?” —Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
