fair. not even when the actors play into
your own hands, says the New York
Herald. I know what I'm saying. I've
had experience with two-the young and
the old man. My first experience was
with a young man who didn't know his
mind. and asked me what he had better
do, ana I, like a father, told him he had
not better marry the girl he was court
Ing. He went right off and married her
An old man from the country came
into the car where I was reading my
morning paper and sat down at my side.

of women, both married and unmarried,

"Wall-er-whats your opium
1t is this-the man who marries one Is
a jackass."
The old fellow scratched his head for a
moment, and after he had got his Idea
racked in the right spot he said:
''Wall-er-haint l as much constitu-
tional right to be jaclzass IS yer have
Wall-er-I guess, and I'm goin' 'cept heI
