And Didn't Need Her Bible Stories
Dat of Hours.
Chicago Tribune.
There is one young mother on the South
Side who has resolved that her children
shall not be allowed to come to the table
at meal time when visitors are present.
Heretofore she has entertained a theory
that as soon as cbihlren were old enough
to feed themselves the table was the place
for them to take their meals in company
with the family. BY this method they
could be properly disciplined and grow up
under the influence of good manners.
Her theory was apparently accomplish.
ing the desired results when relatives ar
rived for a visit. One of them was the
proverhialric old aunt, for whom the Oldest
child-a girl of six years-had been named.
This was the first visit she had made since
the christening, five years before. On
this occasion she had acted as godmother
and had deposited quite sum of money
in the child's name. On every birthday
since she had added to it. So it was
greatly desired that the child should be
particularly amiable to this rich old lady,
and make an impression that would he
remembered And she did.
During the visit the aunt had told the
child numerous Bible stories. They were
not especially interesting, and the child
was getting tired of them. One night after
dinner she showed unmistakable signs of
becoming openly rehellious. The mother,
doubling the wisdom of her theory, was
in the act of ringing the bell for the nurse
to take her away from the table, when the
aunt undertook to restore peace and quiet
by interesting her in a Bible story. She
was only fairly started when the child
flew into rage, and, picking up a large
spoon, exclaimed:
stop! Don't you tell me any more OF
your Bible stories. / Won't listen. Stop,
! say. If you don't, I'll throw this spoon
at YOU. L am a good girl. / say my
prayers OH Tuesdays and Thursdays, and l
won't be told any more Bible stories.''
