THE BISCUIT.
“Johnny,” said the father as the boy took a biscuit from the plate, “don’t you know ‘that it is impolite to help yourself before your elders?” “Why, pa, mother told me to help myself before you!” “What do you mean?” asked his father, while his mother looked up with astonishment in every feature. ■ “Why, I heard mother tell Aunt Hannah that she hoped I wouldn’t take after you, and so I thought I’d take my biscuit first.” The man who does the least talking often has the most to say.
