A certain family has an invariable
rule that the children shall take turns
in saying q grace before meals. This
grace follows n set form, but at the
Sunday dinner, when papa is at home,
an extempore addition or enlargement
Is required.
The household had been suffering
from a long succession of incompetent
cooks, and the other Sunday, as the
family assembled at the table, the
mother lamented that she feared the
dinner was spoiled, and hat unless n
good cook could be obtained immedi-
ately a contemplated trip to the coun-
try would have to be abandoned.
1t was little Ernest's u to say
grace, and he echoed the prayer of all
present:
Bless, oh, Lord, this food for
use, and us to Thy service, for Christ's
sake. And, Lord, please send us a
good cook before Friday"
A family employed what they be-
lieved to be a household jewel" For
a few days she proved to be all that
they had anticipated, and everything
went smoothly. One day, however, the
husband came dow to breakfast and
made the announcement that they
must get rid of the new girl.
why, John, you must be crazy
said his wife with amazement. She's
the best girl we ever had, so respect
full, and n fine cook"
That makes no difference. She
isn't honest"

bread once in awhile; her folks may
need it more than we do"

A we'll known surgeon was recently

clothing, while the mother stood by
weeping.
Suddenly he asked: Mamma
