His Brilliant Son.

A literary man in Boston has a son who is to him as the apple of his eye. The other day he noticed a square hole In the trousers of his well-beloved, a shrieking hole just about the knee. “How is this?” asked the sire. And the boy replied: "You know I have two pairs, my best and the other. 1 couldn’t tell them apart, so I cut a hole in the best, and now 1 can tell ’em and know which to put on.”—Boston JouruaL i 1
