HE WOULD "CATCH A HITCH ON.n-
The other day, when gentleman resid-
ing on Adelaide street saw boy run
over by sleigh on Woodward avenue,
he went home, called his first born to
his knee, and said:
civilian John, don't never hitch on
to sleigh"
"But it's fun," protested the boy.
'It may be, but it's also dangerous.
Only half an hour ago 1 saw lad of
your size run over and almost cut in
two. Only the other day was reading
Ofa boy who was carried off by far mer
and thrown into the well. Again,
was reading of boy who was cut into
four pieces by sleigh. Then there
was that boy in Chicago who had his
head taken clean off, and the one in
Boston who got fast on the sleigh and
was dragged to death. Keep clear of
teams, my son."
About two hours after that the boy
was seen in the street waiting for a
"hitch." His sister ran out and called /:
Don't you remember what father
said?"
"Yes, sir, he answered.
"About all those boys being cut up,
mashed, and mangled ?"
.'Yes, SIR"
"And there you are waiting for a
team"
"That's what I'm doing, sis. I'm
willing to risk all them chances every
