PERFECTLY AWFUL.
Startling Lessonfor Boys addicted
to Practical Jokes. -sS

W o1facI3cak - OkeS.
1t is surprising how much misery is
caused In this world by the thoughtless
fun OF some Ofthe best hearted people
N it. Often and often person, whose
heart Is running over with innocent
merrlment, viii perpetrate Joke, in a
lthOughtless moment, which will cause
some dear friend pain and throw a
cloud over their lives forever. These
remarks are caused by sad case whicS
happened recently in this city. The
boys of the Second Ward school had
raised a subscription and bought foot
ball. 1t was made of Indiarubber and
was inflated with air. A small brass
Tube was used to initiate it, through an
aperture In the side, which closes me-
chanically when the tube is withdrawn.
A day or two ago the boys were resting
rom their play, and examing their
BALI when one of them, pale, delicate
looking, philosophical little fellow, Of
fered to bet that he could putthe ball
IN mis- mouth. They all laughed at
the 1des, as the ball was as big as head
but he persisted, and they took up his
bet He very quietly inserted the tube,
exhausted the air, and rolling the bali
tightly up in a small compass, easily
placed 1t IL his mouth to great aston
lisament OF his companions. While
they gazed, one of them, filed with
mischief, inserted the tube in the aper-
ature In. the ball, which was Just visi-
bic, andfnfiated the football to its full
est extenti The boys screamed with
laughter at the odd appearance of their
puny playfellow, and in their bolster
Gus appreciation. of thejoke they lost the
key! And now for that piece of thought
less lnerriment that po':r little boy
must drag through his v cary lie with
face to the size Gf Il peck llfeasurc and
no place to put. his bread and butter
in. Boys, you cannot be too careful
about playing even what may seem to
be the most innocent joke on your
play yfellOws:-,Pe Peoria lIAs.) Rec5ew.
