In one of the biggest of Cleve­
land’s public schools some of the
•mailer children, children of the
primary grade, bring their lunches
when they come in the morning.
A large proportion of the pupils
in the building are children of It or-
*eign parentage, quite a number are
of foreign birth, and Many of them
are from humble homes, where the
food is the simplest and the mouths
are many.
Among these little lunch bearers
the teacher in a certain room had
her attention drawn to a girl whose
noontime feast seemed invariably
the same—a thick slice of black
bread and a boiled egg. They were
n eatly wrapped in a clean square of
'paper, and, while the other lunches
might vary in material, this modern
spread included just the two ar­
ticles mentioned.
There is pride in little hearts
even over so small a m atter as the
simplest of simple luncheons, and,
while the child with only a sand­
wich envies the child with the cakes
and the orange, this child with toe
black bread and toe boiled egg
Seemed to be fully satisfied with
her portion, for sn egg, look you,
can be both necessity and luxury.
And so during the noon hour the
child would contentedly seek a
dusky corner of the school base­
m ent and there, quite alone, dis­
pose of the frugal meal.
But one day a dreadful thing
happened.
A js the child opened toe package

And, lo, it wasn’t a real egg at

enware egg, a make believe egg that
Is sometimes called a nest egg!
When it fell it struck the floor
with a sharp crack th a t drew gen­
eral attention. And the unhappy
child burst into tears.
Here was m end to the little de­
ception th a t had ministered to her
childish pride and placed her on a
level with heT more fortunate
schoolmates. Here was the humil­
iating wreck of the simple subter­
fuge th a t had helped conceal the
.grinding poverty of the child's
nome.

A letter quoted in ’T h e First
Duke and Duchess of Newcastle”
reads like a page from “Don Quix­
ote.” I t was written by Sir John
Hotham during the civil war:
“ 1642, Oct. HulL—Upon Sunday
night last, as the neighbors of Sher­
borne tell our men, they (the Cava­
liers) drew certain forces out of
York to have set upon my son’s
men at Cawood. When they came
in Sherborne, a village three milea
from Cawood, they espied a wind­
mill, which they took for my son’s
colors marching to meet them, and
certain stooks of bean for bis men
in order. Whereupon they returned
in more haste than they came.”
