HE MENAT WELL.
A young man in a straw hat was wheeling a baby carriage backward and forward along the pavement in front of his home. The hot afternoon sun poured pitiously down upon him and he was angry as any man in the citv.
“My dear !” came a voice from the upper window of the house. “You go to thunder !” he shrieked back. “liet me alone can’t you ?” and he went on wheeling and mopping his face. An hour later the same voice came in earnest, pleading tones : “George dear !”
“Well, what do you /want ?” he shouted. “Have tho water pipes burst ?”
“No, George, dear !” wailed the voice. “The wator pipes are all right but you’ve been wheeling* Lottie’s doll all the afternoon. Hadn’t you better let baby have a turn now ?”
