Very PLAN Criticism.

Children are not always grateful be-
ings, and they are notably hard to en-
tertain. At a birthday party a kindly
natured adult had tOiled hard in the
effort to amuse the children by means
of parlor magic, ventriloquism bur
lesque dancing and the like. The
other adults present were highly
amused, and some of the children
deigned to chuckle mildly. The mother
of the hostess, however. felt that full
justice had not been rendered, so be-
fore announcing refreshments she took
pains to thank the entertainer, and to
call the attention Of the youngsters to
his gifts.
Mr. Blank is very funny, isn't he
Children?" she concluded
From the rear of the room came a
small, shrill voice:
"Yessum, but not SO funny as he
thinks he is"
