“Harry spends threepence a day in beer. Through a sermon he hears at an open air meeting he resolves to sign the pledge. Some short time after his wife is surprised to have the miller call with a sack of flour, which she maintains is not for her. The poor woman is still more perplexed when a man arrives with a ton of coal. A few moments later the husband comes in and explains that the coals and flour are the result of his having saved threepence a day.”
