MISTAKEN KINDNESS.

What’s the matter?” “Yes, I do mean it,” screamed Johnny. “To-day at school I saw Tommy Jones putting a pin on master’s chair, so just as the master sat down, I pulled away the chair. The master sat down on the floor, and when he got up he licked me for pUllin’ away the chair, and then Tommy Jones licked me for interferin’. So, yow-yow-how, I’m never going to help anybody no more.”
