While doing some shopping in
one Of our grocery stores last even
ing we CHANGED to hear little boy
ask his father who that man was
buying the beans. "That is the ed.
itor," said the father. "What do
editors live on" said the inquisitive
little urchin. f'Why do you ask
that question" said the indulgent
father. Because I heard you say
you had taken our home paper for
three years and had never paid a.
cent for it" To save the father
embarrassment we left the store.
but it is safe to predict that the
child got spanked when the father
got him home.--Coggon Monitor.
