Why Hs Was Sorry.

To impress on young children Just

done and why. is among the most try

by the recent experience Of West
Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday
she asked her small son. aged eight, to
carry q chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started on
willingly. but In the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utter
ances that would have done credit to
a pirate of ancient days. The mother
was taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy a long
and serious talk on the subject of pro-
family. This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she
