The Guest’s Nose.

A man was speaking of predicaments in which elders are sometimes placed by the utterances of their children the other day when he related the following of himself: A friend of his who had a pronounced Roman nose of rather unusual proportions was a guest at his house for dinner. “I noticed my -seven-year-old boy scrutinizing his face and had a presentiment that something was going to happen. I tried to get his mind on something else, but to no effect Presently It came out Breaking into a lull in the conversation with that little piping voice of his, he said: * ‘His nose is bent ain’t it?’

“My friend had the good sense to see the humor of the thing and started the laugh at his own expense, enjoying It all so thoroughly that we were able to join with him, and an embarrassment was thus turned into a good joke.”—Columbus Dispatch. '4 - - -
