dumped out and knocked into ''pi' quicker

Without any idea as to the extent of
the damage, Pat made his way to the

said:

What a Baby Can Do.

Newman independently
1t can wear out 81 pair of kid shoes In
twenty four hours.
1t can keep its father busy advertising in
the newspaper for nurse.
1t can occupy both sides Of the largest
sized bed manufactured, simultaneously.
1t can make the author of It's beings wash
bills foot up to So week and not be feeling
at all well.
It can cause its father to be insulted by
every second-class clearinghouse keeper
in the city who never take children"
which in nine cases out of ten is very fortu-
nate for the children.
It can make itself look like a fiend just at
the moment when mamma wants to show
''what pretty baby she has"
1t can look its father innocentIy in the
face and five seconds later spoil the only
good coat that he has got in the world.
1t can make an old bachelor in the room
adjoining use language that if uttered on
the street would get HIM in the penitentiary
for two years.
1t can go from the farthest end of the
room to the foot of the stairs in the hall
adjoining quicker than its mother can just
step into the closet and out again.
1t can go to sleep like little angep and
just as mamma and papa are starting for
the theatre it can wake up and stay awake
until the beginning of the last act
These are some of the things that baby
can do But there are other things as we'll.
A baby can make the commonest home the
brightest spot on earth. 1t can tighten the
burden of loving mothers life by adding
to them; it can fatten its dirty little face
against the window pane in such a way that
the tired father can see it as picture be
fore he rounds the corner. Yes, babies
are great institutions, particularly ones
