HE MEANT WELL.
But His CareIessness Got Him Into
Trouble with His Girl.


A young gentleman, whose gallantry was
largely in excess of his pecuniary means,
sought to remedy this defect and save the
money required for the purchase of expensive
flowers by arranging with gardener to let
him have bouquet from time to time in re-
turn for his cast-off clothes.
1t thus happened one day that he received
a bunch of the most beautiful roses, which
he at once sent off to his lady love-. In sure
anticipation of a friendly welcome he called
at the house of the lady the same evening
and was not little surprised at the frosty
reception he met with.
"'You sent me a note to-day" the young
lady remarked, after pause, in the most
frigid tones.
Ia note?" he inquired, in blank aston
ishment
Certainly; along with some flowers"
TO be sure sent you some flowers"
And there was note insde-do you still
mean to deny it?"
With these words she handed the dunn
founded swain scrap of paper, on which the
following words were written: Don't for
get the old trousers you promised me the
other day."-Tit- Bits.
