DESERVED SPANKING AT 60.
But George M. Shelley Was Amused
at His Mother's Threat.
George M. Shelley, assessor and collector of water rates, returned yesterday morning from Keokuk, Ia., where he had been to spend Sunday with his mother.
"I reached home at 2 o'clock Sunday morning," said Mr. Sheley, "and lost no time in waking mother She was glad to see me, of course, 'but George,' she said in her dear, sweet way, 'I have a mind to spank you for waking me up in the dead of the night' "
Mr. Shelley will be 60 years old soon himself, so he enjoyed the prospect of a spanking at the hands of his mother. Mrs. Shelley is 84 years of age.
