Vou Were Saying ...
Last year our 9-year-old son was given a discarded
typewriter to use as a toy. One night he typed
us the following note:
"My name is Steven Miller. I have a nice brother.
His name is Tom. I have a good mother. She is kind
to me. I have a father. He loves me. I am lucky. I
have a good home. I am happy."
We all admired his note and propped it on the desk
where everyone could see it. Next day, while we
were out visiting, the cleaning woman came. When
we returned there were two notes on the desk. The
second one said:
"My name is Annie. I am the maid. I like working
in a happy home." Mrs. A. Miller, Sioux City, la.
He Sows Seeds of Honesty. When my children
were small and still at home, I did a great deal of
canning. We used to make a day of it: pack a lunch,
pile the whole family in the car, drive out to a farm,
and pick our own fruit.
One day we went to pick cherries. The usual system
was to pick the fruit and take it to the farmer. He
would then weigh it and charge us whatever it was
worth. This time we had started rather late and
weren't quite through when the farmer came by to
tell us he had to go to his other farm. He said to
weigh our own fruit, mark it in his record book, and
slip the money between the pages.
When we finished and went to the scales, we found
the book stuffed with cash. Many other pickers had
weighed their own fruit and left the money.
It was heart-warming to find a man with such faith
in the basic honesty of strangers, and so many stran
gers who didn't betray that faith. Mrs. Stephen E.
Bliss, Bath, N. Y.

. . '. one of the residents of this house hates me.
It has a long neck and an unwieldy body and lives in
a closet. It is the vacuum cleaner.
I get along pretty well with everybody else. The stove
smiles amiably, the refrigerator is real cool, and the
furnace is happily hot.
But the vacuum cleaner is a vitriolic viper.
Should I take it by the scruff of the neck to carry it
upstairs, it turns over its own shoulder and cuts a hole
in the woodwork. Should I stick its pronged fingers in
the wall, it waits until I begin running it to let go.
If I attach the rug sweeper, it falls off before I reach
the rug. If I take off the rug sweeper, it slips out of my
hand and crushes my toes to pulp.
At first I thought I was too impatient. I was hurrying
through the housework to get to the leftover coffee.
"This will never do," I said while rubbing the aching
shin the vacuum cleaner had clobbered from around
the corner, "I'll have to acquire more patience."
The next time,. I moved with the deliberation of a
snail in a gunny-sack race. I folded the cord carefully
before I picked up the cleaner. I assembled . all its
shiny appendages in a tidy box. I sang a little song to
myself as we made the perilous journey together into
the living room. That was where we fell down. I had
caught my foot in its skates.
Now I have succumbed to the realization that there is
really nothing I can do in this continuing nightmare of
antagonism. Today the vacuum cleaner showed me its
newest trick.
It waited until I was 20 or 30 feet from the wall plug
and then disconnected itself with a snap like a garter.
The cord raced across the floor and hid inside the
cleaner. This was accomplished with the aplomb of a
teen-ager inhaling spaghetti.
As soon as I get it back in the closet, I will sit down
and cry. But I don't want it to hear me.
It's giggling.
