PAGE SIX :): Spoiling the | s Child I •k • **■ I By RING LARDNER To the Editor: I have received a letter from she who signs herself Worried Mother, that wants information in regards to how to handle her 2 kids that seems to be kind of a wild pair and in be half of other parents that maybe in the same pickle, it looks like I should ought to print her letier to me and niy reply to same as follows: She writes* in a kind of illiterate way : ‘•Dear Sir: I been informed by the authority's that you have 4 ehildten that is probably the best helms ed children this sideot the reform school. Well, Mr., 1 haven't got only Va ns many children, 1 of them a boy 4 yis. old and the other a girl, 1 and *4 yrs. old and I can't do anything with either 1 of them. For inst. in the first place, the little girl won’t sleep nights and crys a whole lot and also laps up more milk than we can afford to buy for her. jit regards to the boy, he won't mind anything we tell him and keeps run ning away from home and when the neighbors’ children comes over to play with him, it always winds up in a light and he always gets the worst of .it as he hasn't got no nerve, if you will pardon the slang. I enclose a plain envelope with no writing on it for reply and hope you won’t fail to reply.” And then she signs her name and address which is none of our readers business. My reply follows: ‘•Mrs. Angus Simpson, 436 Railroad Street, (.'restline, Ohio. Dear old girl: You can bet I won’t fail to reply to your overtures as I always make it a pt. to answer mash notes from fair ladys of the fair sex. I presume your note was in code, but 1 will reply to ir on the up and up and my motto is safety Ist and then they can’t no body have a comeback. You been well informed about the size of my family and you couldn’t of come to a better m;m to get the desired information. Amongst my 4 children I had about the same kind of a struggle you are having with your 2, but 1 presume you have to give the boy the unique name of Jun ior and probably the little girl is called Lit. Well, we will take up Junior. 1 of my sons about the same age had a habit of running away from home ait bis. of the day and finely along come the good old summer time and I told him he could go bare footed, then I went out ou the st. and paved it for a *4 a mile in both directions; with tacks turned bottom side up but the little devil crossed me by going through the fields and the neighbors back yds. So 1 day I got him out in the wood shed and pretended like 1 was splitting kindling wood and by accident the heel of my hatchet come down on 3 toes of his Ist ft. foremost and r.he operation was successful. Him and his parent both thought it was an j accident so to say. The way it Is j now, liis nurse who is 70 yrs, old and j built in proportion, can roll after him and catch him before he gets out of the yd. As for Junior not minding anything you say, 1 have a kid that was the same way until I got me a whipping! post witch can be.boughten at a re duction in an.v first class post ofiice and after about 3 lessons he begun to pay a tension. One day after 1 give him the works, a couple of our friends dr«*ve by in their tractor and they seen him and stopped ami said: ‘Hello, Stupid, are you all well?’ ‘No iliank you, was his reply. ‘1 j am all welts.’ As for Junior being afraid to fight, the thing is to match him up with Maloney and let him get some cour age. Now in respects to Lil. I haven’t no gals, but the same treatment ought to he good for both brands. One of my kids insisted on 5 bottles of milk a day and wouldu’t take no less till 1 conceived the idear of putting sour milk in 3 of the bottles and he wouldn’t touch none but the other 2 and we made a daily savings of GO per cent on milk alone. And when this bird wouldn’t sleep at night I would first rock him to sleep with a punch in the 'jaw or sprinkle a little chloroform on his pillow and the first thing you know you couldn't hardly wake him up. ' 1 also had a kid that cried a whole lot and for no reason except that he had the collect or something or was getting teeth, witch is a waste of time In the first place because they loose *hein all when they are about G or 7 and get a new string. Well, when he had cried till I couldn’t stand It no more, I went out and bought a double bbl. shotgun and shot out his tear ducks. Children is a great comfort when they are broughten up right and not i.get too fresh and it is all in the f handling. 1 hope I have helped you out, dearie, and if you ever bit this old town of ■New York City, l wish you would call mo up or give me a ring ns they say, only be sure not to call up the. house as the phone isn’t In very good shape and pretty near nobody is liable to answer and not understand you, but give me a ling at ihe office and what ever information l can give you, why 1 am at your beckon call.” Long’s Island, N. Y. it& ky the Bell Syndicate, luc.) BOTH WAYS Marjorie, the youngest, always had an objection ready either about going to bed at night or getting up in the morning. One night, when her mother reminded her that it was becoming bedtime, she said: “It isn’t fair. At night you tell me I’m too little to stay up, and in the morning you say that I’m too big to stay in bed.” Just cs Good Movie Star —I can never marry you, Joe. and— He—But what?
