r decided opinions as to the duties
of fathers to their little boys.
The other day he was describing to
his mother the sort of father he in
tends to be when he grows up.
I'm going to be the best father to
my boys I'm going to play marbles
with them and baseball and every
thing they want me to and I'll give
them dimes most every day and tell
them they can buy all the Ice cream
they want. and III get them each a
pony, and well. my boys'll think I'm
just a daisy father and well have lots
of fun"

days when Dick turned away
from the window to tell his moth

of luck for fellow to be forced to
stay in doors when there was so much
fun to be had outside if only it would
stop raining.
Mother suggested his TOOLS and sis
ter Anne said that there was nothing
nicer on a rainy day than q good
book, but Dick was tired of both and
would have none OF them, and just
continued to fuss and fume because
the little raindrops kept on beating
regularly against the maple leaves.
