Good Resolution Didn't Last.

When Nathaniel Ripple was just s youngster he did very little work about the place. In fact he didn't do any, thing. But one day, when he was al- most ten years of age, he decided to take some of the work off his mothers shoulders. When breakfast was over he ordered his mother to the front porch. He was going to wash the dishes for her. When they were fin ished he called her to look at then' and she was very much surprised. She could hardly believe that he had cone all that work by himself. Then he told her that he was going to wash them for her every meal. Of course she was glad, and she told him he might run out and play. Him play! Not a bit of 1t. He took the broom and swept every floor in the house Mrs. Ripple, who is very truthful woman, said that he swept them just as good as she could have done it her self. He then informed her that he was going to sweep them for her ovcr3 day. That was the last time Nathanle ever washed the dishes or swept tho fioors.-Claude Callan in Kansas Git! l Star.
