Social Amenities In a City Made Fa. moua by Its Beverages. The teacher of an intermediate grade in the Third Ward school was “showing off” her pupils before a number of visitors. The spelling class was on the floor and one small, redheaded boy was given the word “introduction. He paused, twisted his lips, stared, and then in a faltering way spelled it correctly, and seemed rather surprised that he had done it. “Do you know what the word means?” asked the teacher. “No’m.” “What? You don’t know what introduction means? “No’m.” “Well, now, I’ll explain it to you. Does your mother ever have callers?” “Yes’m!” “Well, now, suppose that two ladies came to call on your mother. Your mother knows one of the ladies, but doesn’t know the other. She has never seen the lady and doesn’t even know her name. Now, how would she become acquainted with this lady and find out her name ?” “She’d send me out for a can of beer.” As that was the correct answer the teacher had nothing further to say.—Milwaukee Sentinel.
