If he was a @eaceabdle citizen would he have gone to the war shooting guns at people and being brought honie with his leg, shot off and getting the house alr mussed up? Sometimes I think peo- ple do those things on purpose, like | Mr. Dubb did when he challenged | the trolley car to fight him and was brought home in a push-cart and sued the company, and the case has been postponed by the lawyers until after he dies, and then, like as not, the street-car company will prove he drank himself to death, and poor /Myrs.

Of course, they don't know that she's putting powder on her nose, because all blondes get their noses red if it !s the least bit cold, but I know that if I ‘was a widow I wouldn't be trying ef- fects so my blond hair would show. “Blondes are all cats, anyway, and 1d never rest in my grave if I knew had married a blonde all I ave had to put up with! ‘And that's why I tell you that I won't stand for you getting that balloon craze and ome riding up to this door looking foolish in a wicker basket.
