TRUE SOUTHERN cHIvALRY
Kentucky Colonel Didn't Apologize,
But He Came Very Near
Doing It.

Many stories have been told of south.
ern chivalry, but the palm apears to go
to story told by former governor of
Kentucky while visiting Philadelphia re-
Gently.
According to the narrator, a genuine
Kentucky colonel boarded a street car
which was very crowded, and somehow
he stepped on the foot of a very pretty
woman. Of course, the woman expected
the colonel to apologize, just as did
everybody else who heard her give a
mouselike squeal when the colonefs foot
came down.
And she looked as though she expected
an apology, but the colonel, divining her
thought, DOTTED his hat and said: No,
madam, I'm not going to apologize. When
the good Lord was so gracious as to
make women SO beautiful and charming
and with such wonderfully small feet
that man has to tramp on them 20 find
them, then l don't think that an apol-
ogy@"
The compliment was too graceful for
the woman to resist, and all that fol-
lowed was a smiling acknowledgment OF
the coloners gallant speech.

Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the

loss of appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to de-

lives by swallowing sand, extracting
from it whatever animal or vegetable
food it may contain. The animals
of the ocean live on each other. One
animal kills its prey by means Of an

fishes with sort of hook and line

that at night one may read by it.
