Willy Gets Spanked—Bang!
Mrs. William Brown, of Jamison City, Pa., felt badly about spanking her son, William, junior, but it had to be done. Now she is deeply grieved, because her boy is[Pg 62] suffering pain from burns received as a result of the spanking.
Junior found a box of toy-pistol caps left over from the Fourth and carried them in his trousers pocket. When he went swimming and didn’t come home until an hour after supper time, Mrs. Brown turned him over her knee and began to administer the corrective treatment.
As a result of an unusually hard contact of the slipper the caps exploded all at once.
