Nation! have something to show to

"What is it ?"
Itook ont my papers and showed
her the sketch had made of her. She |
laughed loud and heartily. For Mrs.
Nation is really very jolly and good
natured woman, as long as she is not
engaged in lighting satan,' as she
calls it.
"The idea! But what an exaggera-
ton! l never looked like that in all my
life! Give it to me! You have no right
to it anyway! What were you going
to do with it? ?"
"Sorry that have to decline your
request. This picture is for publica-
ton. AS soon as l have it copyrig GIFTED,
it will be for sale at all newsstands"
She snatched furiously at the paper;
but did not get it, as l was prepared
for just such move.
"Give me that picture at once! At
once, do you hear? Who would have
thought that you were such wicked

fellowmen want the picture, and-they
shall have it,"
"YO Ou are fiendp
"There you are right. Mephistoph-
eles was an angel compared to me.
But l long for smoke SO badly, that
l am willing to give you the picture, if
you will permit me to smoke in your
presence. What do you say?''
"All right! Give it to me! So! Now
you can smoke till you get black in
the face! But one thing can tell you!
l would not tolerate it minute, if you
were an American gentleman! For a
poor misguided German bOer can
I make some allowances! You people
are born that way"
ayes ma'amw l acknowledged, 'I
was born with long pipe in one hand,
and with full stein in the other"
Then put the cigar back into
my pocket. OF course, 1 had never
intended to smoke in her presence.

1t is surprising to note the effect of
salt air on some people. They seem to
lose absolutely all sense of right and
wrong; especially their preconcei7ed
notions in regard to the Sabbath day.

things; but they go to concerts, take

have zealously helped to interdict Sun
