gayest fineries. The matrimonially
inclined young men passed along the
line, and each chose the girl he lik-

the girls parents.

Io "The sufferln, Neat"

There was little Woman
In a very sorry plight;
For, strange to tell this woman
Disliked to dwell with light.
She closed her blinds up tightly,
Then craped the windows Ger,
For fear the blessed sunshine
Would spoil her walls and floor.
This dainty little woman
Grew very pale and thin.
Just like the weak potato sprouts
In cellars deep and dim.
All, silly little woman!
You have faded out of sight,
Because you would not let in
The sweetness of Gods light.

lawyers Have Their
Opinion of Women
Clients

A man lawyer has been giving his
opinion of the woman client and it is
not flattering. On the other hand, the
woman who has been through the mill
of having business transactions with
members Of the legal profession has al
so her opinion Of the man lawyer, and
it is even less flattering to him than his
judgment is to her. Experiences Of su-
ing TO recover money due one and hav-
ing the attorney claim half, two-thirds
in some cases even the whole of the
amount recovered, and being brought
into actual debt to the lawyer besides
is rather calculated TO sour either man
or woman against the legal profession
and TO induce the resolve In future to
avoid lawsuits at whatever cost. 1t
is only fair, however, TO hear the man
lawyers side of the case too. To do
him justice, he admits that an expert
enced business woman makes as rea-
sonable and sensible client as a nan,
but when it comes to the emotional,
gushy. ignorant, clinging vine sort Of
female-excuse him. He never knows
what she is going to do next. Emo
tional affairs are apt to prompt this
sort Of woman TO lawsuits She will
visit the attorney and weep and i'm
plore him to help her In some matri-
monial or love squabble. She manu-
factures tears so effectively that to get

went I'm empty and came out fun till a
cry from old Aunty Bushy-Tail, awak-
ened from her comfortable nap by this
intrusion, cut short all further opera
tons. for the old aunty still had sharp
teeth, and Billy knew this 70 his sor-
row. So lie quickly withdrew his hand
and hurried on his way to school.
1t was an unlucky morning for him.
The columns Of figures refused to be
added and the letters in the spelling
lesson danced about and made faces at
him. One thought cheered him-the
contents Of his dinner pail, sandwiches,
apple pie, doughnuts and cheese. He
could hardly wait for the clock TO
strike l., and when the teacher sent
him to the next house on an errand,
just as he was going TO open the
pail, he could have cried for disappoint-
ment. But there was no use COM
planning, so with a mumbled 'Ies,
'um," he started on his way.
It was late when he came back, and
he was hungrier than ever-half starv'
cd. he said. He pulled or the cover
70 his pail before he pulled or his red
mittens, but, Oh, what a terrible sur
prise The dinner was gone. In an
