Couldn't Spank Her Son

People never get an encouragement
for doing the good Samaritan act in
the interest of the public,a as the man
decided who offered to assist a dis
tracted woman and ameliorate the suf-
ferings of a lot of respectable people on
a suburban car, says the Chicago
Times-Herald.
The boy who bowls was in evidence,
the curled darling Of his only own
mother and the terror of everybody
else, and he had kept the car in a state
of wild excitement and exhausted the
patience of everybody, including the
dOting parent.
"Oh, if your father were only here"
she had said for the fiftieth time. as
she tried vainly to restrain the bowling
terror
At that he stopped bowling long
enough to peat the air with his small
shins, and the woman on the other side
of him remarked audibly that a cage
was the proper place for savages like
him.
Johnny, dear" asked the mother,
won't you be a good boy?"
o n kicks from Master Johnny.
oh, / wish your father was here TO
give you a good trouncing this very
minute," she walled as she struggled
with him.
Then it was that the ~philanthropist
Of the company asserted himself. He
had been trying in vain to read his
morning paper ever since he started
from home.
ALLOW me, madam" he said, blandly;
Il am a father myself, and / will be
happy to chastise your cherub in be-
half of his absent parent
oh, no you won't, not if I know it,"
said Johnny's mother, rising in her
wrath like a tigress. There amt that
man living dare lay a finger on that
boy-his own father or any other ugly
old catamount who thinks he knows il
ALL" and she effectually shut off debate
by going into the next car and taking
the sweet infant with her.
