Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 99, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 August 1898 — Smallest He Had. [ARTICLE]

Smallest He Had.

Parson—Good-morning, Mr. Skinner. I was pleased to see you contribute to the missionary collection this morning. Skinner—Yes; 1 gave a nickel. - • Parson—A nickel! Why, I’m surprised that a man of your means should make such a ridiculous contribution as that. Skinner—Yes; I know it was a good deal to give, but I felt that I ought to give something, and I didn’t have anything smaller.
