He Remembered.

“Now, pa, dear,” said a Hartford*girl, “you will do just one or two little errands for me to-day, won’t you ?” “Why, certainly, my dear.” “Oh, that’s ever so good a pa. You just match these seven colors in worsted, buy me three good crochet needles, you know what kind, and a—a —package of caramels.” “All right, my dear. I’ll remember the caramels.” And that was all he intended to remember. —Hartford Post.
