Wit and Wis- , dom of Children fO CROWDED Little four-year- old Margie, whose big sister brought her chum home to spend the night, thought it would be a great treat to sleep with them; and, having gained permission, she took her place in the center of the bed. She soon found it uncomfortable, and rot wishing to appear selfish, asked: “Sister, have you plenty of | room?” | “Yes, dear,” was | the reply. \ Then to sister's chum: “Have you plenty of room, Miss Manning?” “Sure, dear!” \ “Well, then, both of you move over!” HERBERT'S DIPLOMACY Herbert aged four, had just been bathed and dressed in an immaculate white suit preparatory to attending Sunday School, and grandma had cautioned him to keep out of the wet grass. Immediately he ran out into the yard and sat down in the mud. Patient grandma again dressed him and gave him a lecture on cleanliness. In a few minutes Herbert came back again, soiled, and was sent out after a stick. Herbert came back with a stick not very clean. Just as grandma was about to administer the rod, Herbert said: “That’s a pretty dirty stick, grandma.” WHERE HE GOT THEM Mrs. Carrol and her two-year-old son, Jimmie, were calling on Mrs. St. Claire. Mrs. St. Claire caress- ingly took Jimmie on her lap, and looking fondly into his eyes, asked: “Where did you get those big brown eyes?” “Aw,” responded Jimmie, “they come with my face.” “HUGHES’ ZOO” CHEERFUL MABEL Little Mabel, aged four, had been warned by her mother not to play in the road, which was extremely muddy. Several times Mabel disobeyed and had to be brought in and cleaned up. At last, exasperated, her mother exclaimed: ‘Mabel, I'll give you one more chance. If you play in the -oad again I shall have to put you to bed.” The child went out to play again, but in a short time appeared at the door, wet and bedraggled. “Well, mother,” she remarked in a tone of cheerful resignation, “I've used up my last chance!” a OBEDIENT WILLIE The teacher wanted some plums in order to give an object lesson, and calling one of the small boys she gave him ten cents and dispatched him to the fruit stand down on the corner. “Before you buy the plums, Willie,” she cautioned, “you had better pinch one or two to make sure they are ripe.” Little Willie flitted away. Soon he came back and smilingly put the bag on the teach- \ er’s desk. | “Oh, thank you, Willie!” said the teacher, | taking up the bag. “Did you pinch one or two, as I told you to do?” / “Did I? I pinched the whole bagful, and / here’s your ten cents!” J R y//can musta been a comet hit this 4s Lie old world:
