 A well known young man employed in one of the local plumbing shops will tell you it doesn't pay to speak i'll of your lady friend much less of anyone Now he is sorry that he did not observe silence. This young fel- low was real lucky and enjoyed the. company of a Saugatuck young lady. He was envied by his fellow mates Ghe fortunate ones always are.) He conceived the idea, that he could usurp the greater part of the young lady's time should he be able to keep the other fellows away. To carry out his idea he began circulating stories which were not of the kind that would re- fleet credit on the young lady. They had the desired effect for the other young men to whom he related his tales did not desire her company. He was getting away with it too long, however. and stories came to the young woman that her friend was rather free with his language. With a gentleman friend she called at the plumbing establishment Saturday eve ming. When the satisfaction given her was not sufficient she slapped the youthful plumbers face The latter refrained from either talking or strik- ing back. 1t was we'll that he did for the gentleman friend was on hand to chip in if he was needed. Now the plumber has to find another lady friend. ea
