TOMMY'S SUGGESTION.

MAMMA. "You should always take the smaller piece of anything offered.

You just took the larger piece of cake, and left the smaller piece for your elder brother."

TOMMY. "But, mamma, as Willie is my elder, I think the plate should have been pa.s.sed to him first."

HARD TO TELL.

"What on earth is that baby crying for?" asked the baby's father.

"He says he wants a wolly-bully-um," said mamma.

"Well, for goodness' sake give it to him."

"I will, if you'll tell me what it is," said mamma.
