Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 September 1897 — His Superiority. [ARTICLE]

His Superiority.

“My father's a policeman,” boasted a little boy of Allegheny. “Pooh, that’s nothing!” replied another little fellow, “my father’s a newspaper reporter.” “Well, my aunt is going to be married next week,” said the first boy, returning to the attack. “One of my sisters was manned week before last, and my oldest sister has twins,” was the triumphant reply. His victory was short, however. The other boy meditated for half a minute, and then said, conclusively: “My uncle takes up the fare in church on Sundays.”—-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
