has been ordered 10 Use only enough water
for actual cooking purposes, and the men

Not the same Marbles.

The fine spring-like weather OF Sum-
day prompted the average small boy to
listen to the tempter's voice and bag
Sunday school to engage in outdoor
games. The three young sons OF Will
liam Horn of Manayunk are generally
very good Sunday school boys, but they
fell from grace. Their father sent
them off. as usual. in the straight and
narrow path. but later when Mr.. Horn
went out for stroll, he espied his
boys engaged In an exciting game OF
marbles. Mr.. Horn was very angry,
but. instead Of giving the boys a sound
strapping, he sent them home with
their marbles. Take them home and
come back to me-" he said. The boys
came back very promptly. and the faith
er rewarded them with a penny apiece.
Now. be good boys" said he. "and
promise me not to play with those
marbles again." The boys promised,
and Mr.. Horn continued his stroll. Re-
turning home an hour later he was
shocked to find the youngsters playing
marbles again. His ire arose ut the
sight. and, catching the eldest by the
back OF the neck. he exclaimed
Didn't tell you not to play with
those marbles again today?" I'VE

What! what. sputtered the father.
No. we ain't." continued the boys;
