Returning home one afternoon, little Richards mother found him apparent iy in great pain. Careful questioning failed to disclose the cause of the lads suffering. Previous experience told the mother that Richard probably was in need of that oil so unpopular with children, and she proceeded to administer a generous portion despite the crying resistance of Richard. A few minutes later the boy appeared apparently in great glee.
 i've got joke on mother-lve got a joke on mother" he cried.
 Members of the family were curious, of course.
 "Mother thought l was sick and gave me oil but I get the toothache,' v he exclaimed between laughs.
