Saving the Other Nine Stitches.

“Why are you whipping that boy ?” asked a policeman. “He’s my son.” “What has he done to deserve such severe punishment?” “He ain’t done nothin’yet, but as I am goin’ away from home to-day to be gone some time, and knowing that he’ll need it before I get back, I thought I’d better give it to him now.”—Arkansaw Traveler.
