WHEN HE BREAKS

(By Laura Jean i.ihbey.y


About the meanest thing that IA

to pay a girl call upon a particular
evening and without sufficient rea.

are circumstances which arise which
make il necessity for Il man to
fOregO his engagement. II there is
any possible way by which he can
communicate with the girl who is
expecting him he is guilty OF So
iious breach OF politencss if he fails

II there is anything which causes
a woman to lose faith in "A man it
IS to sit in her parlOr nicely dressed

WHAT HE LIKED

An Indiana politician not long ago
made what he deemed an excellent
speech on the economic questions of
the day. He was anxious to ascertain
its effect upon that part of his audi
ence which was of political faith
opposed to his own. These, for the
most part, were negroes. One of
them he sought out, asking:
How did you like my speech,
friend?"
Shore, boss, it was an elegant
speech" said the negro, with such a
note of admiration that the politician
felt moved to investigate further.
What part did you like particu-
larly?" was the next question.
"If you asts me, boss, 1 don't mind
