Show iSAW NO CAUSE FOR WORRY i Small Boy Pretty Well Satisfied That the Future Was Not Likely to Be a Hard One. The Cleveland Plain D vler says: A Lakewood woman was recently reading to her little boy the story of a young lad whose father was taken ill and died, after which he set himself him-self diligently to work to support himself him-self and mother. When she had finished fin-ished the story she said: "Dear Billy, if your papa were to die would you work to support your dear mamma?" "Naw!" said Billy, unexpectedly. "But why not?" "Ain't we got a good house to live in?" "Yes, dearie but we can't eat the house, you know." "Ain't there a lot o' stuff in the pantry?" pan-try?" "Yes, but that won't last forever." "It'll last till you git another husband, hus-band, won't it? You're a pretty good looker, ma!" Mamma gave up right there. |
