as il Cleopatra, and Marie Stuart, and
Catherine Borgia, and Lille Laugtry and
all the wonderfully beautiful women we're

ment at Washington is, whether 1t is the
President who runs IL, or whether the
people have the care Of it, or whether the
Cblging darby who sits up on the box or
seat, and tells you which is Mr.. B!aine's
house, where the Chinese embassy is, and
which is the British legation, and where a
mighty beautiful lady used to live, and
where gentleman who owns newspaper

little house, that his children might have a
good time in til confess don't know who

ice cream or champagne.
He Ia q mighty mean man who does not
appreciate q woman when she is doing her
best to please him with all the odds against
her, as they generally are.
He is a mighty mean man who cannot say
q kind word or two as he meets with some
other man or woman who is friend Of
hers, because kind words do not cost him
one cent.
He is mighty mean man who don't like
your friends If be likes you.
To be absolutely honest, l think be is q
mighty mean man all the way through who
is not just as good, and just as sweet, aud
just as lovely as can be-
Am going for all the mem No. there
| are two things that stand by three things
