THE ATLANTIAN
read: “Shall be married at noon to
morrow, Will you pray for us?”
Young, But Wise.
A little girl of four was spread
ing butter on a cracker on the luncheon
cloth when her grandfather—at
whose table she was—remonstrated
with her, telling her that was not the
proper place to do it. She never lift
ed her eyes, but went calmly on with
the operation, and when it was fin
ished and she took up the cracker to
eat she said quietly to nobody in par
ticular, “Men don’t always know
what’s best.”
' etc. The next day his grandma said:
“Well, Lloyd, how did yon spend the
Fourth?” He replied, “Why, Grand
ma, I didn’t spend it. Sidney did.”
He Had Not Spent It.
A small boy was spending the
Fourth of July with his Uncle Sid
ney, who was a few years older than
he. His parents, not wishing to trust
such a small lad with money, had
given his Uncle Sidney the money
with which to buy firecrackers, candy,
The Unexpected Reply.
The teacher had been giving a long
lecture on the need of a good educa
tion and, wishing to know if it was
making a good impression on her pu
pils, she asked, “What is the best
thing to take through life with you?’’
You can imagine how pleased she
was when her favorite pupil, who was
usually rather dreamy, quickly raised
his hand. “Well, John, I’m glad to
see that you’ve been paying attention.
You may tell us.”
She was Hindi dismayed when he
innocently answered, “A good girl!”

Comforting.
Mrs. Jackson is noted for always
saying the wrong thing. The other
day she told her daughter that she
was going ove r to comfort Mi's.
Brown, whose husband had commit
ted suicide by hanging himself in the
attic.
“Don’t go, mother.” remonstrated
her daughter; “you will he sure to
say the wrong thing!”
“I must go, but I shall he very
careful, and talk of nothing hut the
weather. I ean’t make a mistake
then.”
This is how it worked out:
“We have had very rainy weather
lately, haven’t we, Mrs. Brown?”
“Yes,” replied the widow. “I have
been unable to get the week's wash
ing dried.”
“Ob,” put in Mrs. Jackson, “I
shouldn’t think you’d have any trou
ble. You know you have such a fine
attic to hang things in!”
Brown’s Stinginess Rebuked.
Brown had the reputation of being
very fond of money, and when his
claws closed around a dollar the coin
was a whole lot safer than if it re
posed in a burglar-proof safe.
One Sunday evening Brown attend
ed church, probably because he had
no other place to go, hut when the
contribution plate was passed lie
didn’t make any motions like a gen
erous donation.
“Excuse me, sir,” said the deacon,
who was a good collector, persistent
ly holding the plate before Brown,
“wouldn’t you like to make a small
contribution ?”
“No, sir,” responded Brown rather
emphatically. “I am not in the habit
of making contributions of this kind.”
“Then take something from the
plate, sir,” said the deacon in a louder
voice. “This money is for the
heathen.”
