DADDY IS STILL C0GlTATlNG
Precocious Younester Asked Question
Which Couldn't Be Answered
Fright OF the Bat"

When Auditor of State Vic Donahey
and six of his ten children had re-
turned from Sunday school he tried
the children out on the lesson, which
had been about Noah and the Ark. He
impressed on their minds that of all
the inhabitants of the earth, human
creeping and otherwise, all save those
which had taken refuge on the Ark
had perished in the food. There was
nothing living at all except what was
on the Ark, he told the children. The
waters had drowned out all life.
Say, dad" inquired one of the
youngsters, who is especially preco-
cious, did the fishes in the water die
too?"
This was poser for the auditor
He told the lad that he would answer
the question later. Answering ques-
tions right off the bat is one Of the
accomplishments of the auditor, but
the one the boy asked stumped him.
