Exchange No Robbery.

A boy and his father had occasion to get their own tea ready, and thought the easiest prepared meal would be boiled eggs. The eggs were put" on to boll—and forgotten—until the boy suddenly remembered them, and made the remark that he was afraid they would be hard. “Never mind," said the father. “Let the cold water tap 'run on them.” After a while he asked if they were cold. “Yes,” replied the lad. “They are quite cold.” ' ' “Well, take them back and say your father wanted duck eggs.”—London Ideas. g
