But Mamma Didn’t.

Little Mabel was always tumbling down and getting hurt, but as soon as her mother kissed the bumped forehead Mabel would believe it cured and ceaße crying. One day she accompanied her mother to the Union depot, and while they were seated in the crowded waiting room an intoxicated man entered the door, trjpped over a suitcase, and fell sprawling on the floor. The attention of every one was attracted to the incident: and hr the sudden silence following the fall Mabel called out: “Don’t cry, man. Mamma ’ll kiss 00, and ’en 09 11 be all right.”—Lippin cott’s Magazine. <? ,
