The school teacher, after writing to the mother of a refractory pupil,
received this note in reply:
"Dear miss, you writ me about whippin my boy i hereby give you
permission to lick him eny time it is necessary to lern him lessuns hes
jist like his paw you have to lern him with a club please pound nolej
into him i want him to git it don't pay no attenshun to his paw either
i'll handle him."

The little boy dashed wildly around the corner, and collided with the
benevolent old gentleman, who inquired the cause of such haste.
"I gotta git home fer maw to spank me," the boy panted.
"Bless my soul!" exclaimed the old gentleman, "I can't understand your
being in such a hurry to be spanked."
"I ain't. But if I don't git there 'fore paw, he'll gimme the lickin'."

The little lad sat on the curb howling lustily. A passer-by halted to
ask what was the matter. The boy explained between howls that his father
had given him a licking. The sympathizer attempted consolation:
"But you must be a little man, and not cry about it. All fathers have to
punish their children sometimes."
The lad ceased howling long enough to snort contemptuously, and to
explain:
"Huh! my paw ain't like other boys' paws. He plays the bass drum in the
band!"
