Tired of Bossing.
■> When Mary went home to Ireland for a visit to the old farm, after a four years* course in general housework in America, she found a new baby brother. “And he was thot spoiled you couldn’t live In the same house with him,** recounted Mary to her old mistress. “Such a raisin* as he had had! I towld me mother ’twas different altogether from the bringln’ up of us older children. *Twas do this, an’ we done it—or get a whippin*. But with the little wan how—if she says to him ‘do this,’ he says, ‘No, I don’t want to,’ an’ never a budge does he make. But my mother was not set back by my scoldin’. She just sayed, ‘Oh, well, wait until you’ve lived as long and as much as I have, and you will get tired of bossin’, too.’’
