Very pretty and almost incredible is the story of the little girl who bated getting up early and pinned a nolice on her coverlet: "Tresspisaurs on my dreams shall te prosekuted." And one shudders to think of the abnormal development of the child who, when shown his twin baby sisters, exclaimed: "Oh, mother's been getting bargains again."

"He isnt," was the contemptuous reply. "This is church." "He is." "No, he isn't." "Well, then, he's a clown."

"Oh, no," she replied, *Tve tried surprises and they're only disappointments. ,.
