IHE HANDYMAN 0? SIX. From a London paper we learn of the existence of a very useful person. The othW day a mission worker went to visit a sick woman in the East end, and the door was opened by a small boy. She was told he had been kept at home from school because he was so handy. His age, she learned, was six.. There were three younger than him. So there are little fathers in the slums as well as little mothers, ■rave little men who can be relied upon to keep Baby, safe, and to stop •Billy from trylns to eat the doormat, and can answer the door or go an errand to the shop, or make a sick woman a cup of ,tea. All honourto tb3 '♦'-ndyman of Six.
