PLEASANT TIME IN PROSPECT

Bachelor Brother Now Know* Something of the Duties That Fell to the -Young Mother. "I was visiting my married sister in Toledo last week," relates “Buck" Hawes. “She’s got a three-year-old kid, and, while I am fairly fond of children, I am a bachelor and somewhat sot in my ways. I was rather dismayed, therefore, when, my sister proposed leaving me in the house with the child one afternoon. And here’s what she said: '“Don’t put yourself to a bit of trouble —he can take care of himself. See that he doesn't climb up to the pantry shelves and keep an eye on him so that he won’t get into any mischief. He won't annoy you. Don’t, let him go down cellar and watch that he doesn’t get hold of the books in the library, and he'll amuse himself all right. If he cries, give him a cooky, and if that doesn’t stop him, ride him on your back. But don’t let him bother you a bit I’ll be home in an hour!’” —Cleveland Plain Dealer.
