You feed him by your taxes, und without you he would starve, but he often thinks you are below him. Go to any amusement Place, theatre or restaurant and you will find prices up to the top notch, and still people pay often to be film- flammed.

So Wags the World w ATELY we've seen and eaten the products of about a dozen splendid- L looking and richly-yielding truck patches that were made by city men who never had had a package of seed in their hands nor had hold of a“ rake in their lives until this last spring. It is time for that unique joke about the city man's foolishly fizzly truck patch to go to the disc: When a woman notices that a silence suddenly falls upon a group of her acquaintances and friends when she walks up to them on a summer resort hotel porch she not only concludes that they've been giving her the absent treatment just before her arrival but she can pretty accurately guess what they've been saying. The most finished female mallet-wielder of whom we CLCULEY have any knowledge invariably prefaces her perform- Lian ances of that sort with this observation: Well, all of my friends will tell you that I never speak ill of another woman, But that creature’—— Then “that creature” assuredly gets it. “Oh, I just brought a few skirts and shirtwaists—catch me making any foolish attempt to dress in the hot weather!” This is what the women are heard saying when they reach the summer resort. Then, for many days and nights running they proceed to dress themselves within ap inch of their lives, COLD SPRING!

A woman who competes in big tennis tournaments for women got badly beaten by an old-time rival when they met last month, She took her defeat very graciously—before the crowd. But when she got home she told her husband that she loathed him, she slapped her housemaid, she spanked her little girl and sent her to bed before sundown, and she topped it all off by going to her room and luxuriating in a good, loud, sobful, shoulder- shaking, nose-reddening, boohooing, all-hands-around cry. Not long ago we took a turn on the boardwalk at Atlantic City with an Idaho man who never before had seen the ocean. There was a land breeze that afternoon and the sea was very quiet. “Gosh,” said our Idaho friend, “I've seen the Snake River act up worse'n that many a time!” After you turn forty you gort of hate to look at one of those cold- blooded tables issued by the insurance companies giving the chances of life at all stages of life's journey. Because the thing then begins to look like such a gamble, with all the odds against you! We know a forehanded man who's buying his coal for next winter now, It's sensible and all that, of course, but somehow that kind of a cuss strikes us as over-playing the forehanded business. . $ Little Stories mone Hy by Big Men (Copyright, 1914, by Avnabel Lee.)
