FUNNY LITTLE FOLKS

The first day Jack went to school was also the first day he wore a ‘ real boy’s’ suit. One of the girls wrote him a note saying he looked like a little man. That night he was telling his mother about it. ‘ Mother,’ said he, ‘ Frances Wright wrote me a note telling me I looked like a little man, and I wrote her one and told her she looked like a daisy, only I couldn’t spell daisy, so I spelled cat.’ Four-year-old Lucile, in great excitement: ‘Oh, mamma, come and see the big hole George and I digged in the sand. It’s more’n a foot deep. It’s a foot an’ a leg!’ Mary, aged three, was on her first visit to the city, and when she saw the electric lights in her aunt’s home exclaimed ; ‘ Oh, mamma, that is the first time I ever saw light coming out of a string !’ A doctor prescribed rest and change for a small girl, saying that her system was very much upset. After he had gone the little girl said seriously: ‘ I knew I was upset, mamma, because my foot’s asleep, and things must be pretty bad when you go to sleep at the wrong end.’
