doubt II any one, however dignitied,
who passed through the square yester- :

foolers.
WHICH reminds me Of small Ned,
w who on certain April Fools Day,
when he was four years old, had a won :
dsrfu time playing tricks all day on
his whole family-father, mother. sis
ters and brothers-no one escaped.
They hunted for imaginary letters, left
on the table; they ran to the window
to see strange sights that were not
there; in fact. they even started to eat
cotton chocolates.
Well. night time came and Ned was
told It was time to go to bed. He
kissed dad good night, and, smiling,
said: Wasn't it great day, dad.
Gee, fooled everybody" "How many
times were you fooled. Neddie?" asked
dad. "Oh. wasn't fooled at all. No
one could catch me. boasted the small
boy. Then he turned to go upstairs,
but suddenly he saw his big sister,
whose face was very red from sup
pressed laughter.
An awful thought struck him, and a
shocked and Mortified expression came
over his face. Even before he looked
over his shoulder he knew what had
happened. The great fooler had been
fooled at last, and hanging to the end OF
his wee blouse was a long tail. I'm
afraid he WAS too young to be a
good sport. He was pretty young, you
see' and the tears could not be stopped
