He Was Sick

“That boy of mine has got to turn over a new leaf,” declared the wellknown citizen, who it is doubtful really knows how much he is worth. “It isn’t so much a question of money as it is teaching him its value. He has been away most of the summer, and the letters he has written home have been short but to the point—more money. “Growing tired at last of bls repeated demands upon my purse I ceased replying to them. Inside of two weeks I received three more demands, but Ignored them all. Then he wired me, and I made no answer. “ ‘Send money quick. Am sick,’ he wired again. " ‘With what?’ I telegraphed back. “ ‘With waiting for cash,’ he answered, collect. “He got it. But lam going to have a talk with him when he gets back. It Is time that he was doing something else besides spending money.” Detroit Free Press.
