There is nothing in life more amusing than 10 see a man trying to keep house all by his Lonesome"
 A few mornings ago I was in grocer's store, giving an order, when my atten- ton was attracted to man friend of mine, who in bewildered sort of way wae endeavoring to give an order also to the polite clerk, who had hastened for ward to serve him. The man in question grew red in the face, looked around hopelessly and finally stammered out: q er-want some er-groceries.' All right. sir,'' said the urbane clerk as he brought forth his pad of paper and pencil to take the order, what can l do for you?''
 The customer shuffled his feet like he was getting ready to do the barn dance, glsrced up at the pickles and olives in the cases, then down at the boxes in the store, and finally gasped out:
 Hanged if I know. But I want some- thing to eat.'F
 "perhaps you would like some sort of meat?" suggested the clerk, who usually attended to that side of the question, too, for lis customers. 'rhe very thing" said the embarrassed purchaser, greeting the suggestion with as much enthusiasm as an Arctic explorer would welcome relief party. "Send up some steak and veal cut 1 lets, and roast and brains and lamb chops and you might send a couple of nice large chickens" 1 nearly laughed aloud when I heard all this, and thought of the extrav- agance of the mere man, and how differ ently a woman would have ordered, when my attention was again arrested by the polite clerk saying: How much of each?'' "Oh, why-well, er-enough for four peo- pie, and the cook, of course, and the but ler.''
 "Very well, sir-anything else sir?" said the clerk lowing and scraping, as the customer started out the door. Why, no, l b-e-l-i-e-v-e that's all" said the man meditatively. "Oh, yes. there is something else; send up some sugar"
 How much?' came the inquiry from the clerk.
 Why, er-oh just about the same amount that people usually get, and you may serd the bill in on Saturday evening, and it will be paid early Monday morn- ing" was the parting remark. He started out and turned back two or three times, as if he had something else on his mind. but finally left after which the clerk explained to me that:
 -Four bachelors have just gone to housekeeping recently, and each takes a turn at marketing
 Are they all as funny as he?'' I asked, indicating the "he" by a nod of my head at the one who was fast dsap- bearing on the car, which was bound for town.
