was served in old times in the south,
and there are still others who have not

Mother Chased the Boy on a Wheel.

Pedestrians on Twelfth street Monda,
morning were treated to the unusua
sight OF a mother pursuing her son or
bicycle and after hot sprint captur
ing the unruly member Of the house
hold and inHicting punishment. The
first intimation of the impending com
edy came when an impending voice wa,
heard calling: "Jack Callahan, If vor
don't come here this blessed minute III
tan your jacket SOS you won't forget Il
for a week"
Jack was buSily engaged in a game Of
mumbledy-peg with another boy of his
age on the lawn beside the roadway
and paid no attention to the summons
until his mother appeared with a section
of trunk strap in her hand and fire in
her eye. Jack leaped upon his bicycle
which was leaning against the curb
and sped eastward. Seeing that for the
time being she was outwitted, the
mother returned to the house, and the
spectators were astonished a moment
later to see her emerge with woman's
wheel, which she mounted and rode
away after the runaway son, still grasp.
ing the strap in her hand and wearing
her kitchen apron.
Bending over her handle bars, she
sped after the unsuspecting Jack, and
had almost overtaken him when cry
from boy friend put him on his guard.
Then ensued an exciting chase. The
boy turned quickly when his mother
was almost within reach and shot west
Oh the smooth asphalt pavement as fast
as his feet could work the pedals.
Slowly but surely the woman drew up
to the boy, and just as they reached
Robey street the second time she reached
out and grasped his coat tail. A moment
more and jack was led home in triumph
and from the doleful walls that ema-
mated from the open door 1t was evident
that the mothers threat was being made
good.
