operators IN the world and he is sat
isfled in his own mind now that he is
a little better than the rest since the
renowned Clarence Eddy has COM
mented so favorably on his tech
, nique."
There S a young woman in town who
has been looked upon as having a most
wonderful head of hair and her ccif-
fure Is most wonderful creation, the
main theme of which is a row Of large
puffs which extend around the hack of
her head from ear to ear.
A couple Of weeks ago this girl was
getting into the elevator In the Office
building where she is employed when
strand Of one of the puffs caught In
the grill work around the elevator
door. She stepped in the elevator and
the puffs hung to the grill work FOR
an instant and then dropped TO the
floor. Now the elevator man likes a
Joke and before the embarrassed girl
could step from the car and rescue
her hirsute appendage, he had shut
the door and started the car down.
The girl gave a little scream and
waited until the car returned to her
floor. She hurried of but the puffs
were nowhere to be seen. She rushed
to her Office and there on her desk was
a waste paper basket with the puffs re-
posing securely within it. It is no
exaggeration to say that they nearly
filled the basket. Quickly they were
grabbed from the basket and a few
deft Jabs placed them where they be-
longed- But another idol has been
shattered. This girl has been the envy
of all her acquaintances because Of her
wonderful head of hair, but when they
look at her now their eyes seem to
say "Oh. such falseness.
Happy Hooligan" to the fore again.
For a long time the famous or in
famous Novelty theater bulldog has
done nothing to add to his credit or
fame but chew up any and every dog
that he has been able to catch. But
at last he has distinguished himself
again in his own peculiar way. This
time he has succeeded in separating
a pair of sweethearts and Happy
feels bad about it, but what can he
do now. II he could talk he would
say it was the cats fault.
Happy" was basking in the moon
light in front of the theater a few
nights ago when one Of his friends
came along, unlocked the chain which
held him and took Happy for a
walk AS they walked along the steps
Of the man followed their accustomed
path and finally landed him at his
sweethearts house. She was on the
veranda waiting for him or someone
else and greeted him cordially.
Happy was chained to a veranda
post and his quondam master and the
object of his affections took seats on
the porch and began talking Of those
lnlngS peculiaF TO persons IN LnelE
frame of mind. Affairs were never
going better with the man in the case
when a cat darted across the lawn
Happy made a lunge for the cat. The
veranda post to which he was hitched
followed him, and the veranda roof
came down on the lovers heads. Out
side of a few bruises and scratches
the lovers were uninjured. except as
to the girls feelings, but the fellow
had to work hard for a couple Of hours
to temporarily repair the veranda, and
he shudders when he thinks Of the
bill he VIII have to pay for the per-
manent repairs to the same, and the
shudder is a bitter one for his erstwhile
lady love declares she will have moth
ing more to do with him, a man who
had the audacity to bring such a. fe-
rocious pup to her house.
