In the following incident there is a lesson for the thoughtless parent who practises deception upon his child:— “George, George, mind, your hat will be blown off if you lean so far out of the window!” exclaimed the fond father to his little son, who was traveling with him in a railway carriage. Quickly snatching the hat from the head of the refractory youngster, papa hid it behind his back. “There now, the hat is gone!” he cried, pretending to be angry. George immediately set up a howl. After a time the father remarked, “Come, be quiet; if I whistle your hat will come back again.” Then he whistled and replaced the hat on the boy’s head. “There, it’s back again, you see.” Afterward, while papa was talking to mama, a small shrill voice was heard saying, “Papa, I’ve thrown my hat out of the window! Whistle again, will you?”
