At 9 o'clock the hello girl informed
the driveling wreck that he must not

Startled His Dad.

A s~tockbroker who had his new
forty horsepower automobile delivered
to him the other day decided to cele-
brate the occasion, the market being
dull, says the New York Sun, by a run
on the country roads. To be on the
safe side on his gasoline supply he de-
cided to- stop at a garage to have the
tank filled. AS it was being measured
out he turned to his son, a sturdy chap
of six, who had followed him inside
the garage, to impress upon him the
danger of gasoline. Calling him by
name, he said, You would go straight
to heaven if l put a match to that
gasoline"
Looking his father straight in the
eyes, the boy replied, "And where
would you go, dad?"

from the lad undergoing the ordeal.

After a brief silence a bright young
ster, with a merry twinkle in his eye,
said:

Ireland. Father says the British gov
eminent won't allow us any"
