\ _ MRS. NAGG AND MR —— . By Roy L. McCardell. | She Played Whist and Was Oaly Given Thirtoen!« Ain't Men the Cheats? USAN TERWILIGER’S got her old sealekin sacque tmade over, Mr, Nagg, and Mr, Debb has prom- ised. Mrs, Dubb to stop drinking after the New i} -Xoar, and every time Brother Willie comes to ask me i} to give him some spending money he always asks mo i I want hint to order in a box of beor, or am 1 sure you have any more cigars, because he has taken the last and he doesn't want you to be without a j] fresh box. Mverybody has something for Christmas, or at | least has a kind word” for their fellow-beings or a H} good wish, but the first thing you always say when you come in this house is to ask me bow t feel! ‘As if you cared, Mr, Nagg; as if you cared! ‘You 4o not care, and you know ft! Oh, don't say you do! Nobody cares for me; T am only in the way, { motice it; 1 feel it! That is why I am Ofte timés sad—and yet I never show it; I never complain. ! It T-really thought you, were interested in my health T would tell you that Tam all run down; that my nerves are in a wretched state, and that 1 get so tired Just shopping around in halfra dozen stores that even if. do Ko to a matinee I get no pleasure out of it! It you felt like 1 did yow would be in bed groaning and moaning. But ‘there {6 to rést for me until T drop. I've got to go over to Mrs, Stryver’a ‘this evening, and I despise that woman and always did, and she keeps her, house so hot and stuffy that I get a headache e\ ry time I go im it. | Why do I go, then, you ask? Do you think | would stay away and | fet Mrs, Stryver and Mrs, Cheepskalt and Mre. Inklett, who will all be there, talk about me till my ears would burn like @ house afire, if there 4s anything in signs? ‘ No, Mr, Nagg, I won't neglect my friends. My friends are fond of me, a and {f they don’t come to see me once in a while { could sit hore im this ts house like a heathen missionary on & desert island inhabited by canntbals! Women may have thelr, faults, but they wre kind and sympathetic to each other. They are not fair to your’ face and“then talk about you ber) hind your back like men do about each other; © | / Oh, don’t tallc.to me about men, Mr. 'Nage! 1 will always try to make ’ your home pleasant for you and for any one who comes here to see you, but don’t ask me to be civil to your friends after what happened in this house last night? é If I had only kept the resolution I had made never to play cards with you or your friends again ft would haye been better for me, But I nly think of your comfort and happiness, And that is why I Wouldn't let you t. play poker last night, | When men play poker they have no regard fot a woman's feelings. They make her show her cards, and if she has made a mietalte about what, she has in her haud they take down all the chips. ! They are dishonest—that's what they are! jest! é Then Col. Wilkins, who bs @ typleal gambler, because he {s afraid ot risking his money and will only play 10-cent lmit—and then Col, Wilkins insisted I should play whist, and he insisted I should play with him. I neyer played whist but once befote, and #0 he took allvantage of the fact/and cheated me! Yes, cheated me! How could I win when he sat there grinning, as if it were my mistake every time? After he had gone it occurred to me that he was cheating,’ Oh, ar. Nagg, don't try to defend him, All of you dealt me thirteen cards eveny time, and thirteen is an unlucky number, and if that isn’t cheating, what is? “ JIMMY JQHNNYPANTS. WELL WELL!
