HADN'T THE NERVE.
The vicar's hobby was education. No matter where he went or whom he met he ajways held forth on the great advantages that were to be derived from learning. This afternoon he had called on Mrs Smith. Her son was a nice little boy and, in the opinion of the vicar, might do* great things. "Yes, Mrs Smith," said the vicar, 'educaion is a very important thing, and wo parents must sacrifice our pleasures for our children's benefit. D'you know, I had to pinch frightfully to send my boys to college, but I managed it." "Yes," replied Mrs Smith, "but my husband's too afeared of the law to do anything like that."
