A Slight Mistake.

A correspondent of the Reno Gazette,
writing from San Francisco, tells the
following yarn: This winter we have
had French nobleman to entertain,
and right royalty have we spread our
selves. We have feasted and danced,
wined and dined the gentlemen from
one end of the peninsula to the other.
Just before he left the city he called
upon all the ladies whom he had met
to bid them goodbye. At one house
were two young ladies, who thought to
air their French a little for his benefit
Consulting together, they planned to
enter the parlor separately and say in
French that it made their hearts ache
to think of his early departure, etc.
Having left school a year ago their
French was little rusty, and they
made the trifing mistake of using the
word stomach instead of heart. The
first one in, crossed in an airy manner
and said it made her stomach ache to
think of the shortness of his visit. The
noble Gaul got red in the face and tried
to be pleasant, but could not. When
the other Miss strutted across the room
with grand swing and, striking her
left corset with her hand. said it made
her stomach ache to think of his early
departure, he thought they were pok-
ing fun and he lit out"

A man moving around SO slow that
an OK team funeral procession would
easily go by him
A man always late ur, late to his
meals and late to his work
A man who thinks of about every
thing else than his wo1k-
A man who spreads his arms far
over table to support him while be
eats
A man who has to lean back with his
greasy head against a white wall az

A man who waits for some one else
to take hold of a stick of timber to be
raised
4 man who is afraid he will do a lit
tie more than he is paid to do
A man who is always trying to gel
into an argument with his fellow work
men to create ill-feeling and to CON

a man who is never satisfied with

1t is safe to say that he will never
amount to much In this world.
