NO MORE DRIPPING.
The Stone family were in dire distress. Times were harder even than the family patronymic, and little Bobby was getting tired of it. Principally, he suffered from a surfeit of bread and dripping. A slice of this dainty comestible formed his breakfast, and very often, alas! his dinner and supper. One day he replied .openly. “I don’t want dripping!” he sobbed. “I want butter!” ‘‘Be thankful for what you can got!” cried his mother. “Dripping will do you more good.” “It won’t. It’s me! Fve been feeling had lately, and now I’ve found out from a book that it’s dripping that’s doing me all the harm!” “Why, what rubbish lias the boy got hold of?” “’Taint rubbish! It’s" the truth! It said constant dripping wears away a 1 stone;' and it’s right! ’’
