Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 90, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 February 1917 — Mother Was Safe. [ARTICLE]

Mother Was Safe.

The minister had to leave home on a long preaching tour. Just before leaving he called his family around him, to say good-by. When he came to Bobby, he said: “Old man, I want you to be a good boy and take care of your mother." Bobby promised: All day long he looked preternaturally grrfve under the heavy responsibility thus suddenly assumed. When night came and he was called to his prayers, the young guardian said: “O laird, bless father, and Brother Tom, and Sister Alice, and Aunt May, and the little Jones boys, and me, but you needn’t trouble about mother, for I am going to look after her.”
