The April number contains one story
that wish all little bad boys, who are
SO fond Of playing naughty tricks on
others, could read. 1t is about boy,
whose name WAS Tommy. He was very
naughty, end was constantly in trouble
from the prauks he played. One day
he was on the street, when suddenly he
spied the tailor's boy carrying home q
new suit Of clothes. The boy stopped
to look in tho winiow, and Tommy
thinking he would play capital joke,
painted the pants and coat green, and
nearly ruined them. The joke was on
himself, for the clothes were birth. day
