Papa had crouch, and an atmos-

felt that something was wrong, but he
had to talk or burst, and he preferred
to talk.

throw the tea overheard In Boston har-

while he thought up this mean thing to
say: "If IT was anything like this stuff

Presence of Mind.

Young Arthur, the pride of the faml-
ly, had been attending school all of six
weeks, and his devoted parent thought
1t was high time he should find out
how things were running. So he asked
one afternoon:
"And what did my little son learn
about this morning?"
"Oh, mouse. Miss Wilcox told us
all about mouses."
That's the boy. Now, how do you
spell mouseT'
1T was then that Arthur gave prom
ise OF being an artful dodger. He
paused meditatively for a moment,
then said:
Father, l guess l was wrong. 1t
wasn't mouse teacher was telling us
about; 1t was a rat."-Harper's Maga-
