SPOILED HIS CASE.

“Do you know what my father would have done if he had caught me doing such a .thing ” asked an irate father of his.youthful son; and then he went on to describe the penalties and pains that would have, been inflicted. The latter did not consider the situation at all alarming, and said in a jocular manner; “You must have had a pretty bad father.” This cool, sarcastic manner nettled the parent all the more, and he exclaimed: “Well, sir, I want you to distinctly understand that I had a better father than you’ll ever have.” 'then he felt that he had somewhat spoiled his case, and he walked out ' f the room.
