I'll cut out runnin’ errands for my mother, for, you see, it ain't no occupation for a manly boy Ike me, I'll quit the class at Sunday school. It takes | up too much time. I'm always good, | 80 why should I spend five cents or a| dime each Sunday just to hear Miss Black, our teacher, preach to me? TN also cut out takin’ baths. With me they don't agree, I'm glad to get a chance to quit a lot of useless things. We all should be real thank- ful for the joy that New Year's brings. I dunno who invented it, but he Wan sure some guy, We'll have a New Year's ev'ry month, I'll bet you, by and by.” A CHRISTMAS CAROL.
