A Baptist church on the east side
includes among its membership a de-
vout family consisting of father moth
or and n precocious cherub Of G. says
the Kansas City Star. The pastor has
the usual weakness for chicken, and so
has the cherub. In the early part Of
the week the pastor was invited to
line. The pride of the family had been
properly coached for the event, and
more attention than usual had been
paid to his spelling. He has mastered
any number of words of three letters,
but 1t was still safe for mother and
father to spell out the words Of two
or more syllables which they did not
wish him to understand.
1t was: "When you go down town
purchase some candy" from mother,
and father was always saying: Get
some bananas this morning" The
pride Of the household had learned that
whenever you wanted to use a word
in anyone's presence that you did moi
wish him to understand it ought to b,
spelled out.
There was chicken for dinner wher
the pastor came to dine. and he showed
his appreciation by requesting tw,
helpings. Only one piece remained
and the cherub in the family had no
been satisfied. 1t was the father VIII
