81 WILL SHAKE YOU FOR THE DRINKS"
"Well, first he didn't know what to say,
and then he says, for ne is not a man of
many words, and also he is poor man,
but he did catch me by the hand and
his chin trembled, for she was his only
child and her mother is dead, but he took
a scrap of cotton waste out Of my pocket
and wiped his ewes with it and said, odd
man, | cannot recall what fathers do
when their dear and only daughters are
jerked from the jaws of death, but if you
will excuse the bluntness of plain old
man j will shake you for the drinks"
At st. Paul l met very tall Scotch
man. ! am six feet high. but he looks
down on my broad and desolated skull
as do the gallery people when ! hobnob
with the orchestra on an opening night
containing n advertisement.
You must be very fortunate to be so
large and tall" | said; "you certainly
command the respect of every one"
Eyes, get all the respect want, but
get no comfort. travel good deal and
I suffer a good deal. My wife is quite
short. You know tall men always marry
short wives. Well, she cannot touch her
feet to the floor, and am knocking my
brains out all the time. In a street car
her feet swing like pendulum and my
legs reach across the aisle when 1 sit
down and my silk hat looks like an acri
monious porcupine all the time. The
straps on a street car make tall man
buy q new hat every six weeks and
short woman can't reach them without
tearing out her sleeves.
II don't know how we are going to
remedy this thing, but suffer especially,
for / can't sleep in an ordinary berth at
all. / have bed made to order at home,
but ! can't put it in shawl strap and
travel with it. ! lie diagonally, like an
unprincipled politician, all night, and
then in the morning, while l tie my
shoes, all the people in the train walk
over me on their way to the dining car,
and q stout man in the upper berth falls
out of it astride my neck. Re says,
Excuse me- and then falls over my
feet, sits in my lap, and goes away, and
the man opposite steps on me through
the curtain, brains me with his valise,
swears, thinks that makes il all right,
and keeps on dressing till people come
in and tell him that we are in the round
house.
II hear people say all the time how
lovely to be so large and tall; but the
world Is not made for large people or
small people. 1t was made for middle
size people, mentally and physically.
They get on the best. This is no place
for extremes. II you are a fool, go to
the institution for fools. If you are q
genius you will be tolerated as an eccen-
trio but diseased mind. 1t is better to
keep in the middle of the road.
''By the way" said he, in conclusion,
IL see that you are in one way the supe-
rior of Chauncsy NJ. Depew."

Busy Bee to visit and play game of

other for the drinks. 1 do not drink now,

"And what was this shaking for the

"Why, nothing at all, only we shook
poker dice for the beer, and the one who
lost paid for it, See!'
