AN INNOCENT QUESTION.
But 1t Was Asked of the Wrong Person
That Time.

But 1t Was Asked of the Wrong Person
That Time.
The little man was lonely and wanted
TO make friends and the big man with
his left arm in sling seemed to DO tho
only one in the smoking-room of the
car who seemed to have no one TO talk
to. SO the little man picked him out.
'"Arm hurt?' he asked pleasantly.
The big man took his cigar out Of his
gnouth, looked at the little man severe
ly, and said:
"See that sling?"
"Why. yes, of course"
Think it's pretty?"
''Wel1, no. l."
Doesn't look like decoration, does
it?"
sOf course not. You sec"
Personally you wouldn't wear it for
an ornament, would you?"
mo, certainly not. II
"Well, dc you suppose am wearing
it to improve my personal appearance"
Not ct all meant to ask what tho
matter with your arm was"
''Well, why didn't you say what you
meant. It's hurt
Then the big man settled back in his
seat and put his cigar in his mouth
again; and the next time the little man
tries to strike mp an acquaintance he'll
be more careful of the language he
uses, and will study the man. -Chicago
