But Charley wasn' I hurt, said Mrs.
Bangs.
He vas demoralized though-thor-
oughly demoraiized and it is our duty
to guard against this. 1t seemed to be
a harmless thing to buy Charley dOz-
en- sky-rOckets on the Fourth but in
stead of using them to rejoice over his
independence, what did he
do with them? He collected all the
cats in the neighbOrhood, tied them to
The sticks, and sent them whizzing up
toward the side-real system. am told
that Mrs. McGann's tomcat came down
in New Jersey with not hair on him,

same day, to get into the bath-tub and
pretend he was an alligator, and then
TO stab him with the kitchen skewer.

up in this way, he will turn out badly"
