How Leisure Came


  A MAN to Whom Time Was Money, and who was bolting his breakfast in 
order to catch a train, had leaned his newspaper against the sugar-
bowl and was reading as he ate.  In his haste and abstraction he 
stuck a pickle-fork into his right eye, and on removing the fork 
the eye came with it.  In buying spectacles the needless outlay for 
the right lens soon reduced him to poverty, and the Man to Whom 
Time Was Money had to sustain life by fishing from the end of a 
wharf.
