is Tired OF Praying.

A little girl in st. Louis the other
evening was going through the usual
form of prayer: God bless mamma,
and papa and make me good girl -
and so on, when all at once she
seemed to come to a decision. "Now
that is the last time / am going to
say that prayer" she said, very grave
ly, looking at her mother. "You are
older than / am and it is your place
to ask for all those things and / don't
see any use in two peoples asking
the same thing" Since then she has
firmly refused to pray, insisting that
it is her mothers place to ask God
for blessings.

deal to encourage practical scientific
agriculture in the states of Mexico
