A Discoverer.

Bobby burst Into the house In a state of high excitement. His hands and clothing were smeared with a liberal amount of some sticky substance, and his face wore a glow of triumphant satisfaction. “I say, mamma, those new people across the way don’t know muchl” he exclaimed. “They’ve got a sign on their front door that says 'Wet Paint!’ ” “And you are covered with it! You ought to be ashamed of yourself I” said his mother, severely. “That sign was put up to warn people to keep away from It” “Yes, mamma,” persisted Bobby, with the enthusiasm of a richly rewarded scientific Investigator, “but it wasn’t paint, and I knew It It was varnish!”—King.
