An Old fashioned Mother and Her

Some time ago a Mrs. Buckelby, who
lives over in Berrien county, Mic6iran,
directed her son Samuel, a lad Of fourteen
years, to take q turn at the Churn. Now,
as Samuel had set his heart on going a
fishing at that very time, he "got his back
up" aud fatty refused to sgitate the
cream. Tho curvature was promptly

and q bright smart thought struck him
Just before Mrs. B. came In Samuel lifted
the fatal plaster to his face, and as she
entered, he put the "poison" from his
lips with the dramatic exclamation:
There, mother, guess you wont lick
me no morel" Now what did this
Spartan dame doH Did she shrek for a
doctor and fall into Mysteries? Not
much. She simply took Samuel by the
nape OF the neck, lifted him deity into
the pantry, beat the whites Of six eggs
together, and told him to cngull the same
instantly; he refusing, she called the
hired girl, and in twinkliug Sam found
himself outside tho albumen. Then Mrs,
B, began preparing mustard cmetic,
Seeing this, SANS pluck dissolved, and
he began begging, crying ~ was only

was not to be softened, and Samuel had
to swallow the mustard. He was then
forced 10 take dose Of pain killer and
have hls back rubbed with "Vieor Of

progress made in the postal business oil
the government. Among other improve.
menls introduced are the pneumatic tubes
running from all the daily newspaper Oh
