One Side Of the Mouth.

Did you ever meet. stranger who
talked from one side OF his mouth
usually in an undertone and with his
eyes wandering while talking? The
mans manner is not an indication that
he is weighing his words or has some
thing important to tell. 1t Is almost Il
sure sign that he has spent years in
Jail. This manner Of talking is &c
qulred in prison, where conversation
among prisoners Is 1prohibited and
where the men have to talk out Of one
side Of their mouths In order to prevent
the keeper from noticing that converse
ton is going on. The habit sticks tc
the convicts for years after they get
out.-New York Press.
