AS MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION
Mrs. Brady's Helpful Hint to Eler
Faithful "Micky."

The Bradys used to drive several
miles to mass each Sunday in the
little thrap" with 9TH ould gray mare"
Micl1y, the boy a being of many
summers, whom custom and con-
sentative tradition had, in spite Of his
uncertain years, always treated as the
possessor of perpetual adolescence,
drove Next him sat Mrs. Brady,
decorous in black, while scattered
about the straw in the body of the
vehicle was large assortment of
''the childer"-Bradys of all ages,
sexes and sizes, bare-legged and other
wise-each exuberant and articulate.
It remains to this day a disputed
point among the Bradys as to what
memory of earlier and more frisky
days induced 9Th ould gray mare" to
behave as she did on this particular
Sunday
Rounding corner, she swerved into
the ditch. and before Micky, the boy,
could cope with the situation, a pile of
Bradys, vertical and horizontal. had
been dumped into the ditch, with the
little trap turned over and resting on
top of the struggling heap.
Then, high above the babel of cries
came Mrs. Brady's voice: Pull me
out, Micky. for the love o. hivin! The
black legs is mine!" - Cleveland
Leader.

A Different Hlrd

A Philadelphia school teacher was
having class in reading. and the
subject was how an eagle had carried
a small baby out OF its cradle and
taken it away to its nest on the noun
tains.
AS the story seemed to impress the
children. she tried to explain to them
that II was only story-that eagles
did not carry OF little children.
Just then a little hand was raised
and a small boy remarked, please
