A short decade separates us from the

A MORAL LESSON.

An old New England farmer VINO has

had to contend with and overcome very
hot temper. Upon one occasion he was In
the barn. endeavoring to harness to his
buggy a young colt, which was objecting
most strenuously. Presently the old man
succeeded in getting the animal between
the shafts. but at the touch the colt shied
suddenly, knocking the breath out OF the
old fellow and swapping a shaft short Off.
Damn that colt" the old fellow splut-
tered scrambling TO his feet. AS he did
so he happened to catch sight OF his son
who had Just entered the barn. and with
out blush the old man continued:
That's what your poor old grandfather
would have said. John. He never learned
20 control his tongue. But i. you see. Just
quietly take the harness off and say moth
