little earlier than his parents. He
has come TO know what the telephone
Is and calls 1t phone" He knows a
watch and calls 1t by its right name.
The other morning the baby lay
awake In its crib when the alarm clock
sounded. The father jumped up TO
shut II off and the baby at once claimed
his attention. The child has never
ventured an opinion on an alarm clock.
but this morning asserted himself.
As the alarm peeled forth In br-r-r-r
tinkle the child watched II infently Tor
a few moments.
