FRANKIE MINDS MAMMA.
————
NCLE SOL was going to take a party of boys out in his boat. All had scrambled in but one little fellow, the smallest of the party.
"Tumble in, Frankie," said Uncle Sol. But still Frankie hesitated.
"Don't you want to go?" asked the old sailor.
"Yes, sir," answered Frankie, slowly, "but mamma doesn't like to have me go on the water."
"Why?"
"She's afraid since papa was drowned."
