"PLEAsE HOLD MY BABY WHILE
A woman from the ''rural districts"
was in town shopping last week, and
being somewhat encumbered by a
young baby in her arms, requested a
man with whom she had some ac-
quaintance to hold it for her 'just a
little WHILE" until she could go to
some of the other stores to complete
her purchases. Being a good-natur-
ed man, and somewhat fond of child
ren, he readily assumed the Office of
temporary nurse, and sat down in one
of the stores, with the baby in his
arms, to await the mothers return
For some reason she prolonged her
stay until he became uneasy and sal
lied out to look for her He did not
find her until he had made the round
of most OF the stores, and had be-
come pretty thoroughly alarmed lest
the forgetful mother had gone home
and left her baby behind. When he
at last found her and delivered up his
precious charge, he heaved deer
sigh of relief, and no doubt inwardly
resolved that he would never hold {
borrowed baby againl
