STIRRED DADDY'S PRIDE

Willie was a regular mother's boy. He was so devoted to her that he could not bear to have anyone else to do things for him, hot even his indulgent father. One night he called his father to his bedside. "Papa," he said, "will you please to bring me a. glass of water? " His father went for the water, glowing with pride at, the unusual summons, and when Willie had taken his drink the -parent's curiosity got the better of himi "Why," he asked, "did you call me tonight, instead of your mother? " " Oh, there's been a dressmaker here today, and I was afraid there might be some pins or needles on the floor to get into mamma's feet," replied Willie innocently.
