A DULL, SICKENING
SILENCE FOLLOWED.

Too great precocity in a
youngster is not to be en-
couraged - sometimes 1t
has a habit Of coming
home to roost, like a
boomerang.
This conclusion was
recently reached by a
prominent man in Balti-
more who was entertain
ing a number Of out of
town guests at din
ner with a humorous anec-
dote. The dinner was
drawing to a close and
the boy, aetat eight, had
behaved himself In fine
style-he had not spoken
a word all through dinner.
His fathers story was a
good one, and the guests
laughed loud and long at
it. When the laughter
had died down the boy.
with great delight. rose to
the occasion:
Now, dad" he piped,
please tell the other one"
LOYAL.
He's loyal to his friends.
isn't he?
Very. With six BARRIERS
idle in a shop he'll sit
around for an hour and
wait for his favorite hair
cutter to finish the Gus
toner ahead Of him.

SANITARY TRAINING.

SANITARY TRAINING.
He was a wise and careful lad.

He puffed away in dust.
