Onthe Spur Of then Moment


After RuA KIP.
When the husband meets his help
meet every morning In debate.
And he's trying to explain to her
why he was out SO late.
There is never any question that his
argument will fail.
For the female Of the species can
talk longer than the male.
When the argument is hottest and
they get down to brass tacks.
And they land each othcr's relatives
a lot OF pungent whacks;
You would think that hers were
angels and that his should be
in jail,
For the female Of the species can
think faster than the male.
When they're whacking up the Doodle
that he's earned throughout the
week.
And deciding how to spend 1t. he's
pretty helpless geek:
1t is sad for him to look at his per-
centage Of the kali.
For the female of the species can
grab quicker than the male.
When they do their weekly shopping
and they linger round the store.
Till the husband thinks that living
is a most decided bore.
She can take a 50-cent piece and get
dry goods by the bale.
For the female Of the species can
buy cheaper than the male.
When it comes to information on the
gossip OF the day.
On the neighborhcod activities and
things that people say.
She has got her husband beaten when
she gets upon the trail.
For the female of the species can
hear" lots more than the male.

Side Talks With Girls.

sue Talks WIN UkxA0s
(By Beatrice Spa.erib. the Eminent
Side-Talker.)
Lutte: You ask how to preserve
your figure at forty. 1t is easy il
you care to follow the rather rigid
directions. Do not eat any meat or
starchy substances, such as potatoes
Or buildings. Keep away from chick
en- a la King, lobster a la Newburg.
Welsh rarebit and chop suey. In fact.
you can eat nothing but dill pickles
with occasional grape fruit or
lemon for a change. Drink nothing at
all but tart lemonade. Split four
cords of wood before breakfast every
morning. This is quite expensive, or
course, as wood is high and hard to
get Run eighteen miles between
breakfast and lunch and ride horse.
back all the afternoon. OF course. this
may interfere somewhat with your
regular occupation as stenographer in
the soap factory, but one must sac
rifice something. you know, in order
to keep her figure
Amaryllis: You say the young man
has been calling on you for nine years
and running up your fathers gas Dill
but does not seem to get to the crtti-
cal point in his conversation. You
must try the old gag of talking about
an ina ginary lover out West or MEN,
tioning a fortune which is about TO
come to the family. 1t is always
risky to ask a young man concerning
his intentions, because he is liable not
to have any.

Personal.

Percy: There is one sure way TO
tell. If she says the clock is FAST
stick around awhile: but IL she says
the clock is slow. beat 1t for home.
Hank: To remove wart which Is on
thumb, hold thumb over block and
strike thumb sharply with Keen
edged Ratchet. about one inch above
place where wart is located. Neither
the wart nor the thumb will ever re-
turn.
Perplex: You ask US to suggest the
name of a well-behaved bachelor who
might do for matrimonial purposes.
We don't know any. Marry widow
er and take no chances.

Commercial club, including the mem

ident Hardy and Secretary Slime will
leave Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock
for Grand Forks where they will at
tend the big get-together dinner given
by the Grand Forks Commercial club.
The party will probably return the
same night.
The Grand Forks dinner promises to
be one of much interest and of great
benefit to the clubs of both cities so
that Fargo and Grand Forks will pull
together for the states interests and
not against each other as individual
cities. 1t is expected the Grand Forks
men will DO a great deal in the way OF
entertainment and that a thoroughly
good time will be enjoyed.
Secretary Slime is also in receipt Of
a letter from a wornan in one of the
small towns in Minnesota, asking for
assistance in the way of cast off gar
ments. The letter states that the wom-
ms family is destitute, the husband
a confirmed invalid unable to work and
five small children to clothe.
The secretary and a number of MEM
bers of the club are getting ready a
box of clothes to send this woman and
anyone who has anything to contri-
butte is asked to send the same to the
secretary.
