The Grenada sentinel., 1907-02-02

Did you ever sit up and take notice
Of how few young men are seen in pub
lie with their sisters? No. Well, just
take bird 'S-eye view Of the situation
and you'll find that there's hardly
enough for corporal's guard. The
average young man is usually hOgwild
to shower his attentions on some one
elSe'S sister, and the weather rarely
ever gets too bad for him to brave, or
the expense too great for his eXcheq-
uer in order to get her to places Of en-
tertainment: but his own sister, God
bless her, who has shown him thOuS-
and little kindnesSeS and who loves
him as only sister can love brother,
must paddle her own canoe. In plain
English, if she goes to church or en-
tertainments at night she must either
go with her father, mother or some
neighbor'S wife, or remain at home
and spend the evenings as best she
may. OftentimeS, no doubt, she would
like to 90 out and enjoy an evening,
but for lack of an escort she is forced
to fOregO the pleasure while her dear
brother is out blowing himself on
some other fellows sister, who, he
often finds later, went with him just
to help him spend his ducatS and have
a good time. Ye gods and little fishes
are not some men strangely and won
derfully put together? In after years,
when the sister has gone from the old
home to preside over one Of her own,
the neglectful brother will often wish
that he had been more attentive to
her, but it will then be too late. Time
flies, young fellow, and you had better
take advantage Of the opportunity and
occasionally show your own sister a
good time and thereby impress upon
her your appreciation of her unfalter-
ing love, and the innumerable little
favorS she is constantly Showering
upon you.
1t was at a farmers institute and a
good sister read paper on how te
keep husbands at home. When it was
all over, an old lady sitting on one of
| the back seats arose and said: Il have
been greatly edited and interested by
| what Mrs. Blank has said: but l fancy
l have had more experience in this
matter of keeping husbands at home
| than she haS-mOre perhaps, than
most of you here preSent-and | want
to say that there is just one way, one
infallible rule, beautiful in it's simpli-
city, unfailing in it's application, and
| that iS-feed the bruteS."

Sam Jones stood at the top of the hard

and was talked about more than any
other man in the business.
