A little miss of five years was under
che ban of disobedience. She had been
told to put away her playthings, as it
was near bedtime. She did not obey
the command, and, when forced to do
SO, gave way to petulant display of
temper. Her father, who was up
stairs, heard the commotion, and, be-
ing made acquainted with the cause,
summoned the child to his presence.
Irma started to the stairs, but sud-
denly made a turn, dashed along the
hall, and out of the house. Of course
she was soon captured, but her excite
ment was so great that she was put to
bed at once. Mothers efforts soothed
the child and then she was asked:
"Why did you run away when your
father called your" The reply came
promptly enough: "You don't sup
