The Human Hyena.
“How easy it is to fling a coin to a beggar!’’ philosophically said Professor Pate. “Thus you purchase regef from the sympathetic. feeling aroused by his misery, but love is withheld. If you really love the beggar you would do more for him." “Possibly," returned J. Fuller Gloom. “At any rate I have taken your little lecture so much to heart that hereafter I expect to carry with me small cakes of soap instead of coins, and to each measly mendicant who importunes me fling one cake, with the admonition that he wash his face therewith, so that on the morrow when I come by that way I can see how he looks and thus determine whether or not I can ever love him.” —Kansas City Star.
