his family prayer each night just be-
fore retiring. Just before prayer
would start he would ask: John,
did you put rocks in the cofee?"
Yes, sir. Henry, did you put sand
in the sugar? Yes, sir. Then he
would ask Nose, the cow boy, did
you put water in the milk? Vas,

prayer-and he wound up by saying
"May God bless you my boys"
