Talked Too Much.

- Joe had been instructed that if he did not stop running away he could not go to the movies. Supposing the day’s slate was clean, Joe’s mother was taking him to a show. As the two reached the door Joe said: “Just running to the bridge wasn’t far, was it, mother?” Joe was turned homeward and put to bed. Hearing the little fellow talking to himself a few moments later, mother eavesdropped: “That’s one time, old man, you talked too much."
