nourishment than inhabit those institutions but what a number of
times they are driven from the door with the contemptuousness of the
rich how many slang words are said to them.
If our comfortable friends should remember those persons
casting away food raiment and apparel they would be less cases of
poverty and when sickness overtakes such persons lend a helping
hand their consciences would less smite them.

On Politeness.

Politeness is to say and do the kindest way. I think it is easier for
girls to be polite than for boys, but I am not sure as I have never been
a girl. Politeness is used in all parts of the United States.

On the Play of Hamlet.
Hamlet was a young man very nervous. He was always dressed in
black because his uncle had killed his father by shooting him in his
ear. He could not go to the theatre because his father was dead so he
had the actors come to his house and play in the front parlor and he
learned them to say the words because he thought he knew best how
to say them. And then he thought he’d kill the king but he didn’t.
Hamlet liked Ophelia. He thought she was a very nice girl but he
didn’t marry her because she was going to be a nunnery. Hamlet
went to England but he did not like it very much so he came home.
Then he jumped into Ophelia’s grave and fought a duel with her
brother. Then he died.
***
Hamlet was exceedingly sensitiveness. He denunciated his mother
because she entered the matrimonial condition and showed her two
photographs which he said one was Hesperus and one a satire. He
made her experience great regret. He was engaged to Orphelia but
had to neglect her as he was obliged to give his attentions to
revenging his father’s death. His uncle was the murderer of his
father, Hamlet’s father. He had a very mournful existence and was a
great philosopher.
