 Mary and Robert repressed 2 laugh Has he been good 2' asked Robert.
 Why, pretty good, I had to chase him all over the house before I could get at him to comb his hair and wash him, and then all at once he stopped still and reached up and hugged me and said, love grandma Of course Il couldn't scold him. He did pretty well for a while and then he said, Grandma, can't take your gold beads? I told him no, they cost lot and weren't to play with, but he in sisted that he wanted them to wear with his Indian suit, I explained and explained to him (Mary thought of what was said the day before about making him mind without arguing) but he wouldn't think of anything else; he cried and stormed. I offered him candy, a five cent piece. 6 story, but no nothing would do, and l sent him upstairs to his room for a while
