Pictorial Hint

On the* retirement of a rich manufacturer, who had been consistently stingy in his business career, his workmen presented him with an Illuminated address,* smartly designed by one of their number. He was obviously touched by the gift, and acknowledged it in a neat little speech. "But there’s one thing about it I can’t quite understand,” he added. “What does that little sketch in the corner represent?” “That’s a picture of you giving your workmen a supper,” the artist explained. “But I never did such a thing in my life!” -V “I know that, sir, and my mates said you never would; but I thought I’d put it in, just to give you a sportin’ chance of provln’ ’em all wrong.” The chance was taken, and the farewell supper was a great success.
