Amusing answers also occur when
attempts are made to task child's
memory about things with which it
may be imperfectly acquainted. In
this category may be reckoned the
two following incidents.
"Well, my child" said father to
his little daughter, after she had been
to church, what do you remember Of
all the preacher said?" Nothing"
was the timid reply. Now, remem
ber, the next time you must tell me
something of what he says, or you
will have to be punished" Next
Sunday, the child came home with
her eyes all wild with excitement. Il
remember something to-day, papa
she cried eagerly. Il am very glad of
it." said her father. What did he
say?" He said: A collection will
now be made!"
We will close our paper by an
amusing example of childish scepti-
cism. A little boy about four years
Of age was saying his prayers at his
mothers knee. and when he had fin
ished the Lords Prayer, she said,
Nov. Willie, ask God to make you a
good boy" The child raised his eyes
to his mothers face for few mo-
ments, as if in deep thought, and then
startled her with the reply: Its no
use, mamma. He won't do it. I've
asked him heap O. times

Coniugal affection is a virtue which
is admired everywhere. A beautiful
exemplifcation Of it came under our
notice recently when an Italian gro
ceryman was nearly crazy over the
sudden illness Of his wife. He said:
''If | loosa my VITA, die; if [ send
for the dottore it cost me fife toll
lar" However, he concluded to send
for a physician, and his wife got we'll.
Then he turned sadly to a customer
who was sampling his poison and re-
marked: "Misfortunes meyer cum
singerly, but always douberly. 1 loosa
fife tollar and my VITA not die. Ihafe
no luck"
