THE DIARY OF A BoNEHEAD
They say the best way to make q
winter pass quickly Is to indorse a
note in the fall. That has only a
slight connection with the nomentous
affair that 1 am about to set down
in my diary, for I signed my note IN
the spring
had often said that l would never
sign note for any man, not even my
brother, but about six months ago an
old friend Of my youth came into my
office with hard luck tale that would
have dragged the briny tears from a
director of the beef trust.
He said that, although he had not
seen me in nineteen years, he knew
l would come to his rescue. He had
been out in Oklahoma where a cyclone
had blown his farm away, including
a magnificent barn containing 80 coo
bushels of fine winter wheat. The
cyclone was so strong that it blew
his artesan well away and he was
three weeks without water. That was
tough surely, but seemed to be only a
prelude to the tale. It seems that
nine Of his children were blown away
in the cyclone and he had never been
able to find trace of them With

back and he was wearing a pair of
shoes that he had borrowed from a
railroad brakeman who worked nights
and didn't need the shoes in the day
time. He hadn't had a mouthful to
eat in seven weeks and his wife and
eleven children likewise had not tast-
ed food.
On the square, the story that old
friend pulled on me would have
caused John d. to loosen up ten cents
or so, IL ne should have heard it. It
was the kind of a story that would
have gotten to Russell Sage. My
friend said If I would sign a note with
him for SIS he could get swell Job

DINNER Stories

At meeting of woman suffrage
organization in Kansas City, Kan, it
was suggested that the members talk
to their servants and other women
workers, with a view to forming an
estimate as to the strength of suf
frage sentiment in that particular
locality. One member, who has en-
ployed the same washerwoman for
the last six years, reported that she
put the question to this worthy lady:
Are you in favor of votes for
women"
II don't pay any attention to poll
tics {" the washerwoman replied. Il
leave all that to my husband"
well, how does your husband
stand on woman suffrage?"
He doesn't stand at all. He be-
lieves in women staying at home and
minding their own business"
How many families do you wash
for?"
"Six.''
