Como in after the convention and I'll

home and tend to my own business at
the old stand aud wait for times conso.
lations.
For revenge doesn't pny, you know.
It's all very well to sputter around aud
make a general row and tell that you're
going to smash things, but after all il
doesn't pay. Leave it for some other
fellow. There never was a truer

Wasn't there q sneaking, good for
nothing little mink who used to be in
the same school, and didn't she go to
the boy | liked and tell him that I'd
been getting lots Of notes and candy
from another boy, and didn't the boy

box with a curl Of my hair that
l gave him, and transfer his
carnelian ring and his affections to her
just as she had planned? And didn't l
refrain from scratching her eyes and
telling her that she never darned her
stockings. but wore EN- full OF holes,
and didn't she just a month or so ago
go down to Danville and get the small
pox and ugly scars all over her pretty

Tell you what it is, you politicians,
If you take my advice you'll not 90
around threatening TO kill somebody in
case you weren't in the deal this spring.
You'll forget all about it, or else do

As | said the other day, | hear q good
many things up in our Office; some
times what ia told there is worth hear
ing; ofiensrit isn't. Last week heard
something which set me to thinking.
1t was about our High school. a man.
who | suppose is moral enough, but
who has never been accused OF over
sensitiveness, remarked to my employ
err: Il don't know what you think
about it, but it seems TO me that the
erection of a new High school is pretty
expensive in many ways. II had a
daughter a student this year in the
High school, | should fear that the new
proiset would be expensive not only in
II money sense, but in the possible loss
to my daughter of her maidonly mod
esty aud deiiCacy Of mind. Idon't think
y High'school should be situated where
the young girls can congregate at its
doors in immediate proximity to doors
of public business places which are en-.
tered solely by men. The entrances Of
mems offices are not suitable for en-
frances also TO school rooms where
girls are brought. No matter how
perfectly proper the business places, no
matter how irreproachable the men
who frequent them, a young school
girl is liable TO have a portion at lsRst
of her delicate blooming innocence and
modesty brushed, il ever so lightly,
away. This all with no fault of the
girl, who may be subjected not only to
the respectable glance of honorable
men which never blights, but also to the
insulting stare Of the roue 20 whom,
too, are the doors of public places open"
