Cake and Theology.

A Detroit lady was teaching her baby girl the prayer: “Now I lay me.” She had learned it as far as “If I should die," when there was company expected to tea, and the little one was given her first lesson in table etiquette. “Now, don’t • forget to say ‘lf you please’ when you want anything,’ commanded the mother. “Me won’t fordet,” answered the baby. £ But she forgot all about it, and asked for the cake without any prefix. “If”—prompted the mother. “If I should die. Now div me turn cake,” responded the wee one promptly.—Detroit Free Pressc
