WROTE ALL OF HER BEAUX
Small Brothers Revenge Crowded the
 Parlor With Her Admirers
From the Memphis Scimetar.

From the Memphis Scmetar.
 There is small boy living in the west end of the city who has been nagged at bv the older girls of the family, of whom there are two until he longed for venge- ance and when it dawned on him that April Fools Day was at hand Sunday he woke out of deep and restful sleep seven times Saturday night to congratulate him. self at the magnificent opportunities the following Sunday presented for getting even with his two grown up' sisters. And this was the scheme:
 Like most beautiful Kentucky girls, "Sistah' has monopolized the attentions of some fifteen or twenty young men and had gotten bale or two of billet douX from her small army of admirers. Every time they wrote the injured boy secured specimens of their chirography. On curing a quiet place in the hay loft of his chums pas stable, the injured boy dra- matically drew from under his coat package of these perfumed incentives to forgery and asked the chum's prayerful attention.
 T got these letters at home. Each one is signed by the name of the writer Do you see my game? Well, I want you to write me eighteen letters, one to each one of 'sistah's' beaux, and sign her name to
  students and I am awful anxious to land each one of 'em. They'll do the worst bowling and make the most trouble for sistah when they find that they have been hornswoggled-see?
 Here's what I want you to put In "em
 Dear MT. -: I'm going to ask a favor of you. You have always been my friend, and I am fond of you for your noble character and lovely disposition and sef-sacrifcing nature. I cannot tell you in this brief note all I have to say so I want to ask you to be sure to come to my home Sunday morning at 10:30 sharp. Then I will tell you all. Your fond friend,
 "' Signed):
 "'P. S.-Please come'"
 These were carefully mailed.
 At 10:30 a delegation of youthful misfits hove reso1utey into sight, moving on the home from all directions of the compass.
 "Sistah'' was upstairs dressing for church. but she came tumultuously down as soon as she could adjust herself and tore open the door with a jolly ha, ha, that would have made a western cyclone look emaciated. They all came in and sat down.
 "The weather is charming" said the two- legged syndicate of Biblical lore as he gazed out the corner of his eye at the ungodly drug clerk. Then "sistah" put in her oar, and talked like a rapid-fre gun for twenty minutes, but said nothing about the object of the called meeting of the eighteen young men on that lovely Sab- bath morning on the first day of April
 The drug clerk crossed his legs.
 Ditto the telegraph operator.
 The "Bibe' and sistah then took the 'running" and the conversation was inter- esting. The mother came in, surveyed the delegation and swept off to church.
 Finally, the pleasant "Bibe' winningly stated that he had already missed Sunday school and he was afraid he would ditto church, and if "sistah" would relate the especial object of her request for his pres ence he would be pleased to listen, and then retire for deiiberation. This was a starter. "Sistah" blushed beautifully and said she thought there must be some mistake, as she had issued no invitations for Sunday gathering. But the "Bibe' pulled the note with her name signed to 1t, and presented it as the bona flde credentials of a delegate, and when each caller did likewise the awful truth dawned on her that her name had been forged and she adjourned the meeting sine die, in regular Frankfort style, and it will stay adjourned, as the delegates are all worked up, and "sistah's" name has been relegated to the black list.
 This is how the injured lad got even.
