At the Bathing Pool

At the Bathing Pool.

Once a year the newsboys of a certain district of London are taken for an outing up the Thames by a gentleman of the neighbourhood, where they can bathe to their heart's content.

As one little boy was getting into the water a friend observed: “I say, Bill, ain't you dirty.”

“Yes,” replied Bill. “I missed the train last year.”
