$50 HY is 1t that when a girl begins to take a interest n a man n I'M

You can generally make up our MINI thai when a young n innocent
begins to evnce a violent attachment for some member of the opposite
sex, procaiming to all who will listen just how great the prediction really ls'
lit is a sure sign that her real interest is conferred on another.
A mar is different Directly he casts his eye upon a young woman on
whom he considers it worth while to cast the mantle of his affections. he
straight as a die, in her direction. As soon as he really falls in love
he forgets how to dissemble. When a woman reaches that state of mind she
does nothing Use, and who knows why?
Men have been known to say that this is because women always prefer
roundabout methods in gaining anything. They have also been known to aver
that a finds more pleasure in telling a good big lie and not being found
tresome, truth. OF course this isn't true. It's only al evidence of mans spite
full nature.
The truth of the matter is l think. that when a woman falls in love with
a man her greatest desire is or him to reach tina same state regarding her
without an ioao of help from herself. She wants him to realize just how highly
she is regarded by omr men, as she knows that mans love and mans vanity
are never very far apart If he sees that other men IRE interested hsd desire

THE DAYS FABLE.

Once upon a time, as the tired ASS

who was lying on his back in the ditch
and vainly struggling to get himself
out of a bad fix.
Dear me, but something has hap
pened to you," exclaimed the Ass as
he paused and looked down.
Alas, yes" replied the Bull. 81 am
here in the ditch through the fault of
the OK, and unless | get help the worst
will happen"
But I will help you, of course. You
don't belong to the Ass family. but |
should be ashamed to look at myself
in the glass if 1 passed on and left you
in trouble"
Thereupon, the ASS descended into
the ditch. and by pushing and showing
with his head he managed to roll the
Bull over so that he could get to his
feet. The latter was scarcely erect.
however, when he lowered his head
and drove against the Ass with a great
crash and gored him severity in the
side.
''Ah. but / assisted you in misfor-
tune. and this is the way you repay
moi" groaned the long-eared victim.
Yes, but you see that the OK isn't
here. and I must gore somebody" re-
piled the Bull as he made ready for an
other charge.
