His Deep Concern.

Th® kind old lady noticed a smell lad entering a cobbler’s with a small package. “What have you there, sonny?” she asked kindly. “Ma’s slipper,’’ replied the lad; “you see. there is a tack out of place in it and I want to have it fixed before ma notices it.” “Ah, what a considerate little boy! I suppose you are afraid the tack might hurt your mother’s foot?’’ “Well, it isn’t exactly that. You see the tack is sticking out of the sole and this is the slipper ma spanks me with.”
