Show Dad, "Here's to You." We happened In a home tbe other night, and over tho parlor door saw the legend worked in red letters, "What la homo Without a Mother?" Across the room was another brief, "God Bless Our Homo." Now, what's the matter with "God Bless OurDad"T He gets up early, lights the fire, bolls an egg and wipes of the dew of the dawn with his boots, while many a mother is sleeping. Ho makes the weekly band-out to tbo butcher, but-cher, the grocer, tho milkman and baker, and bis little pile Is badly worn before ho has been home an hour. If there Is a nolso during the night dad Is kicked In tho back and made to go downstalars and find the burglar and kill him. Mother darns tbo socks, but dad bought tbcm in tho first place, and the needles ,nnd the yarn afterward. Mother docs up the fruit; well, dad bought it all, and tho jars and sugar cost like mischief. Dad buys tbo Sunday turkeys, carves them himself aud draws tho neck from the ruins after everyone elso is served. "What is Homo Without another!" Yes, that is all right; but "what is home without a father?" Ten chauccs to ono its a board ing-bouso, father is under a slab and tho landlady Is tbo widow. Dad, here's to you you've got your faults on may have lots of em but you're all right and wo will miss you when you 'ro gone. Ex. f |
