better regulate the buyers in his est

Sonny dxed himself comfortably IN

was asleep, still it sounded so sweet
that he had to listen. Dinah had told
him that everything went by twos;
that there must be two of everything.

very careless at times. Maybe some
day he will learn we have feelings just
like he has, ard that we want to be
put to sleep right side up
Yes broke in Mr.. Chair, that boy
seems to grow more careless every day.
He does not know that you have
tongues and can talk. But as for me,
he kicked my leg the other day and
hurt me awfully. Hush, there he is
waking up!'
Sure enough, Sonny had been awak-
ened by the bright moonlight streaming
in his room. He looked under the bed
and saw the left shoe lying on its side
He got up softly and put them both

The most successful remedy in this
