DRANK POLLYWOGS AND ALL Thirsty Father Imbibed All the Inhabitants of Aquirium He Had Presented to. Young Son. One night last week papa got home late. There had been so many things to attend to at the office, and after that a customer from out of town arrived and—well, papa got home awfully late. He hated to disturb the family, so'he camped in the diningroom. And in the morning, being, thirsty, he arose, drank water and retired under the table again. ' * Then came his little son, the earliest to arise. Little son viewed the situation in the dining-room, then lifted up his voice and wept. “What’s the master?” groaned papa. “You’ve gone and drank up all the water in that glass aquarium you gave me for Christmas.” “Well, never mind that. You can put some fresh water in it, and it’ll be all the better.” “Yes, but who’s going to put fresh goldfish and poilywogs an’ mud turtles in it?" Then papa sat up and took notice. — Cleveland Plain Dealer.
