LOVING WITH ALL HIS STRENGTH.

A little boy declared that he loved his mother “with all his strength.” He was asked to explain what he meant by “with all his strength.” He said: “Well, I’ll tell you. You see we live on the fourth floor of this tenement, and there’s no elevator, and the coal is kept down in the basement. Mother is dreadfully busy all the time, and she isn’t very strong; so I see to it that the coal hod is never empty. I lug the coal up four flights of stairs, all by myself. And it is a pretty big hod. It takes all my strength to get it up there. Now, isn’t that loving my mother with all my strength?”
