A Precocious Joker

Little Charlie, 4 years old, shows indications of becoming a practical joker of a very practical kind when he comes to years of understauding. The other day he cut off a part of the tail of his hobby horse, tied the coarse gray hairs with a dainty bit of blue ribbon, and sent the offering in one of his mamma's best note envelopes to his little cousin, with the followiug message printed on the accompanying sheet: "Dear Effie. I send yu a lock of mi hare. Your luving Charlie."
