Two good "children stories" are related by a writer in the British Weekly. A certain statesman has two children. His parents took the younger to ati exhibition of pictures. Wishing to pass into another room, they asked the child to remain a little. They had not been long away when they heard a howl, and came back to find the child weeping. "Mother," s-iid he, "those pictures won't move." The little lad had frequented cinematographs. The older child was at the funeral of King Edward. That evening his mother came in and asked him if he had said his prayers. He answered firmly, "No." "But why?" said his mother. "Because," said the boy, "it would be of no use. God can't attend to me tonight. He is busy unpacking the King."
