"What is home without a mother. Across the room was another brief, "God bless our home." Now what's the matter with "God bless our dad"?" He gets up early, lights the fire, boils an egg, grabs his dinner pail and wipes off the dew with his boots while many a mother is sleeping. He makes the weekly hand-out for the butcher, the grocer, the milkman and the baker, and his little pile is badly worn before he has been home an hour. He stauds off with the bailiff and keeps the rent paid up. If there is a noise during the night dad is kicked in the back and made to go down stairs to find the burgli kill. Mother darns the socks but dad buys the socks in the first place ant the needles and yarn afterward Mother does up the fruit,well, but da< buys it all, and jars and sugar cos like the mischief. Dad buys chicken for the Sunday dinner, carves them himself and draws the neck from the ruins after everyone else is served. "What is home without a mother?" Yes, that is all right: but "What is home without a father?". Dad, here's to you; you have got your faults--yon may have lots of 'em--but we will miss you when you're gone.
