It Wasn’t Polite.

The small boy who teaches theology to the historian was very bad indeed at the table the other day, so naughty, in fact, that his sister said to him seriously: v “You seCm to get worse every day. Are you ever going to be any better ?” “To-morrow,” asserted the small boy, with engaging certainty; “I’m going to pray to God to-night when I go to bed to please make me good, and then 11l get up early in the morning and be good all day.” “You’d better pray now, and begin right qji - . God can hear yoji now just as well as ,at bedtime.” j “Oh, miybe he can hear me now, but T ain’t going to pray now. ’Tain’t pdlite to God to pray except at bedtime.”— Bouton Record, i-i ’ » ■ yrf* —— 7 Labor takes man away from himself —idleness makes him his own disagreeable associate.
