SMITHKINS,
BY LEO D'OLIVER (DOLLY). Smithkins was one of those unfortunato individuals who can never be offered a piece of gratuitous: advice, ithout feeling an
instant and unconquerable desire to act upon it which went to show there was as something (fundamentally) wrong with the mental equilibrium of Smitlikins. In this Smithkins differed greatly from the rest of his kind, for the arumage Hongkongile | always showed a cheerful alacrity in giving advice on every conceivable, topic, and on equally profound repugnance to considering advice offered to himsell by others.
