Last evening, while the ARGUS man was
skirmishing about in the outskirts of town,
he heard the sharpest, most vinegary fe
male voice imaginable engaged in soothing
a little chap seated in a carriage, with such
an expression as this: You're just the
meanest young one that ever was born,
with fierce emphasis on the word ''mean
est" Just then she looked up and began
to sing ''The Sweet Bye and Bye" in the
most dulcet of tones. What queer people
women are to be sure.
