whereupon the little fellow, thinking

ILDREN'S IMITATIvENESS.
Indianapolis Journal.
Not long since there was wedding
up town, and quite a number of children
who are in the family we're present
The officiating clergyman made the
ceremony very brief one, and
the children caught it all, and now
not all hour passes that the cere-
mony is not gone through with by the
little ones. On one occasion the two to
be married were pronounced man and
wife in very short time, when the
miniature clergyman astonished the
family by saying: Its so hot in here,
we'll have to go in the hall to pray,''
and they followed him to the cooler
spot, where they finished the service.
