His Philanthropy.

“Look here,” said the benevolent looking man, “you have asked me for work every time I passed this corner for the last three weeks.” “Have I?” was the surprised inquiry. .“Yes, you have, and I have given you money once or twice. 7NOW, what would you do If I offered'you work?" “What would I do? I’d take your name an’ address, guv’nor, an’ then, if I found anybody that wanted work, Pd sen’ ’im roun’ ter yer. I'm a philanthropist, an’ run a free employment agency. I don’t get a penny fur me time—only jest what comes in accidental like from folk* like you.”
