One of Paducah's society girls,
OF the younger set, probably
will be more careful about chirog-
raphy in the future. Through a slight
mistake made while writing a poa
card in a hurry, she has been the
victim of several Jokes. The story is
that recently she received post card
from an old college chum, and one
evening last week took a post card
with a view of Paducah, and hur-
riedly wrote: well, am glad you
wrote" This she gave to young
man to mail. The young woman
writes a large hand, and the young
man found that the initial wv" re-
sembled an "H'' so much that he
read IL that way, which made quite a
change in the meaning of the inten-
ton of the writer. The letter was
mailed, but several friends became
aware Of the joke. and It reached h
climax when one young man called
up by telephone, and In an undertone
said he was the postmaster and that
an Improper post card had been
mailed In the Paducah postoffice.
The girl broke right in with profuse
explanations. After her lengthy ex-
PLANTATION the young mans Identity
was discovered. However, the joke
has not stopped the rounds of the
younger society folk.

age he insisted on leaving his studies
and going to work. he got a job In a
general store which paid him $40 q
month, every cent OF which he turned
over to his mother. he toiled early
