Stone-Were they?

L'Enfant Terrible.

A young man was riding down town
the other evening in Euclid avenue car.
He took tho front seat, and held in his
hand an umbrella which had been given
him as Christmas present. On tho seat
facing him was a lady with precooious
infant boy, evidently about 5 years old.
The youngster regarded the young man
with rapt attention for a few moments,
and then his eyes wandered to the uinbrel-
10. He gazed at in in silence for second,
then he wriggled in his seat, clapped his
hands and shouted:
s'Oh, mamma. Doesn't that look like
papa's UMBRELLA"
Every one in the car regarded the young
man with great deal of suspicion.
