6ST DON'T think that prima donna
treated the Sheriff quite right,
said the Manicure Lady to the
Head Barber, as she prepared her lay
out. i think she might at least have
split the bankrolll with him. Goodness
knows, George, it's bad enough for a
man to have TO give-up everything and
chase all over the world TO win wo-
man just because she says she is beau
tiful and thinks she is prima donna
! don't see why she don't take into
considera lion all the fine things that
this Mr.. Chanler has did for her."
The Head Barber regarded the Mani
cure Lady curiously. 1T seems to me,
he said that you are starting kind
of late in life to give the male sex an
even break. All 1 have heard you say
ing lately was 70 Fhe effect that the
girls was por. downtrodden worms,
and that the men was the lords of
creation. am surprised to see that
you have switched. 1 knew you would
have to GENE to it in time"
''AI that 1 have ever said about the
men goes just as it lays" said the
Manicure Lady All l ever said that
you might call knocking was that men
had things easier than women, and
that men ought to bow down heap
TO the folks that consecrated their
homes 1 never said that men was
brutes.
You see, George. have gave lot of
deep thought to the subject Of women
and their rights. and 1 have come to
the conclusion that a woman has to
protect herself I am willing to adj
nit that this prima donna handed the
Sheriff an awful double cross, but for
every sheriff that gets stung there is
20 helpless girls that gets the worst
OF it, one way or another.
The Case In CoIfax, wis.
Il remember, though, case that
happened in Colfax./ Wis. 1t all came
TO pass in my home town, and the way
it happened was not unlike this Chan
Ter case Tt seems that the village
constable was more or less of boob,
one Of them big, manly fellows that
got his sturdy legs from chasing the
COWS home A girl came 20 the town
with her parents. and she got job
teaching vocal lessons And she GER
tainly had a voice like a angel, George.
She sang at all of the church socials
and she sang iE the church choir, and
at the Kirmess she won the Original
Ballad Contest by singing a ballad
which she had wrote all by herself.
called L Wish My Husband Would
Succum5, for Black Becomes Ne So
We'll. George, 1t seems that the vii
lage constable goes clean dippy over
the new song bird, and in his boob
wav he makes himself attentive to her,
He goes out and cuIls golden rod for her,
and bluebells and daisies and butter
cups and all the rest of them sweet
wild flowers that grows in the mead
ows He spends so much time out in
the meadows that two or three of the
village stores is robbed while he is out
botanizing; but finally, after he has
shown her all these evidences of his
devotion, she is touched by it and
promises to become his bride.
Then, within month, they are
welded. The boob sells his COWS and
his 20 acres and his pillow horses. Also,
he mortgages the house to which he is
going to bring his blushing bride. They
drive up to the homestead behind the
only horse they have left, funny
looking old skate that looked then
about the way Maude S. must look
now 'Ohov says the bride, so this is
homev Yes, dearest this is our home
saws the village constable Where are
the cows?' asks the prima donna. You
said YOU had some cows did have
some cows says the village constable.
Il sold them and here is the gold,
all of it for you Every eagle of it I
is yours, dearest he says to her. But |
you know how much I love milk she
