Her Idea Of Pepper

She was a wee maiden of 8 summers, accustomed to the simplicity of the nursery table. and with a taste unvitiated by the use of spices. She was allowed the other day to come to the family table, where she was especially interested in the mystery of the pepper box, an article which had apparently never before come within the limits of her observation. She watched with close attention while her papa peppered something, and then with the utmost gravity and politeness, she extended her plate, saying: "Please put a little dirt on mine, too. papa." - Boston Courier
