Show Why He Couldn't Sit Down. Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but an Indulgent grandmother and kind maiden aunt have taken care of him. The first pair of knickerbockers were secured recently, and it was a proud moment for the' boy when his aunt put them on him on Sunday morning and he was permitted to go to church with his grandmother. Naturally maiden aunts know very little about the arrangement of knickerbockers, and there was a suspicious fullness in front and an equally mystifying tightness tight-ness in the back to be observed, as the little chap trudged happily along. In church Harry sat down, but did not appear comfortable and stood up. "Harry, sit down," whispered his grandmother. He obediently climbed back on the seat, but soon slipped off again. "Harry, you must sit down." "Grandma, I can't. My pants is choking chok-ing me." She looked more closely than her dim sight had before permitted, permit-ted, and discovered the new little knickerbockers were on hind side before. be-fore. Harry stood up during the remainder re-mainder of the service. |
