Little Henry’s Questions.

Little Henry was reading ancient history stories. ‘‘Pa,’* said he suddenly, “can I ask you a Question?” “I guess you can, Henry. Yon seem to have a fair command of English.” “Well, may I, then?” little Henry continued. “Yes,” said pa. “Fire ahead.” “That’s funny,” said little Henry. “1 was Just thinking of such things. Now’, did the old Homans light their houses with Roman candles?” “I shouldn’t wonder,” said pa, chuckling. “Nero, at least, indulged in a good deal of fireworks. Anything else?” “Yes,” replied little Henry. “Did the people of Athens do all their cooking with Greek Are?” Then pa got mad and said he couldn’t be bothered with any more silly Questions.—Household Ledger.
