OCR Text	Show Why He Wasn't at School. An old man, upon seeing a small barefooted lad playing in the street of a western town one day, approached him and said: "Young man, why are you not attending school today; some day, when you grow up ycu will regret all this wasted time?" "Well, I'll tell yer, mister," said the chap with a long drawn sigh, "Me mudder's sick, me brother Jimmy broke his arm yesterday, and baby's cutting his teeth, and my oldest sister's sis-ter's getting married, and besides there ain't any school ter day, it's teacher's convention day, auu dat's the reason I ain't at school ter day." National Monthly.
