Wit and Wisdom of Children HIS AMBITION As little Louis reached the mature age of three and was about to discard rompers for manly knickerbockers, his mother determined to make the occa- sion memorable. The breakfast table was laden with good things, as the newly-dressed child was led into the room. “Ah,” cried the proud mother, “now you are a little man!” Louis was in ecstasies. Displaying his garments to their full advantage, he edged closer to his mother and whispered: “Mom, can I call pa Bill now?” AN EXPLODED THEORY “I think that children are not so observing as they used to be,” said a member of the school board to a teacher whose class he was visiting. “T hadn't noticed it,” replied the teacher. “Well, I'll prove it to you,” an- swered the official. Turning to the class, he said: “Someone give me a number.” “Thirty-seven,” said a little girl eagerly. He wrote “seventy-three” on the blackboard. Nothing was said. “Now, someone else give me a num- ber.” ’ “Eighty-four,” said another young- ster. He wrote “forty-eight” on the board and smiled knowingly at the teacher when nothing was said. He called for a third number and fairly gasped with astonishment at the indignation of a small, red-faced boy on a rear seat who said: “Sixty-six—and see if you can change that!” INNOCENT QUERY Little Freddie, with somewhat em- barrassing precocity, had been inter- rogating his mother about babies and had been told that they are the con- comitants of happy marriages. Some days later his newly-married aunt arrived with her husband for a short visit. Freddie's face soon wore a bewildered expression and his un- blushing. but thorough investigation of the baggage and personal effects of the newlyweds prompted an anxious inquiry as to the cause of his perturba- tion. Freddie, marching up to the newuncle, demanded, “Uncle Bill, are you and Aunt Gladys happy?” Upon being as- sured that such indeed was the case, he floored Uncle Bill with the ques- tion, “Then where’s your baby?” MUSICAL JOHNNY Four-year-old John went out to the kitchen to ask Rosa for a cooky. Rosa said: “I gib you one uf you sing ‘Americy’ fo’ me.” John agreed, but upon receiving the cookies, he began to recite the words; whereupon old Rosa objected: “But yo’ say yo’ gwine sing it!” “I don’t know the noise to it.” W,L.DOUGLAS | FOR MURCINOSCREN $7.00 & $8.00 SHOES YOU CAN ALWAYS ALSO MANY STYLES AT $5.00 & $G00 SAVE MONEY BY WEARING | WL DOUGLAS SHOES SOLD DIRECT FROM FACTORY || WHEN YOU BUY W.L.DOVGLAS SHOES CONSIDER THE EXTRA QUALITY ‘YOV RECEIVE FOR THE PRICE PAID TO YOU AT ONE PROFIT W.
