Farmer Cy Whipple was said to have
had more religion than any other man
in MendOcino county. He boosted that
for more than forty years he had
never missed a meal or neglected to
say grace. 1t was said that Cy's re-
Hgion and his appetite merged SO
closely that it was hard to tell where
the one left off and the other began.
When the dinner bell summoned the
family and the help to the dining room
Cy always led the charge. While the
others were seating themselves at the
table the old man would start in.

: Modern Girls Exnensixe.

1.-THE girls miss q lot of fun by hav-
ing such high and mighty notions now
adays," remarked the old New Yorker.
ITS simply out of the question for a
young fellow getting from $50 to $50
a week to take girl to the theater
or opera often, when it costs him a
good part of his weeks salary each
time he does it. If her young man
doesn't get orchestra seats the girl of
today thinks him mean; if he doesn't
bring her bunch of ViOlets as big as
her head he doesn't know what's
what; if he makes her ride home in
the trolley instead of calling a cab her
gown is ruined and if he doesn't take
her to supper i'm one of the swell res
taurants he isn't worth knowing.
Now, when I was young a girl was
satisfied with balcony seats-75 cents
or ST. After the theater, as a matter
Omnibuses that were backed up to the
sidewalk in front of all theaters.
Then, of course, there was the ice
cream treat afterWard-no one
thought of ordering anything else
and there were no tips to the waiter
either; the man who waited ON you
was as good as you We're yourself; he
would have thrown your money i'm
your face if you had insulted him
with a fee.

girls to the theater two or three times
week in those days, and modern
young women have only themselves to
blame for the infrequency of their the

tails as black and glossy as any youth

Whether gray hairs have been de-
MED the Chinese by nature, or whleth
er they have been fought off by means
of some secret oriental formula, can
not find out. If the Chinks owe their
immunity from gray hair to artifice
they would do themselves and the pub
