YOUNG MAN HAD LAST LAUGH
Got Even for Snubbing Administered,
Thought It Was Mean Trick
on the Girls.

A young man played a mean trick
on four modest young women in the
theater of a small town in York state
recently. The girls knew the youth,
but snubbed him at the door OF the
playhouse by refusing to speak to
him. He decided to get even"
The girls occupied the first four
seats in the sixth row and the young
man had the fifth seat. They paid
no attention to him whatever. Dur
ing the early part of the program a
monologist came out on the stage
and began to talk about love. 1t was
then that the snubbed young man
got his chance to square accounts
with the girls. Suddenly the mono
logist asked
'Will all the girls who are In love
please stand up?"
Turning to the girl next to him
the young man said: please let me
out"
Naturally the whole four had to
rise to let him go by. When they
were once on their feet the young
man settled back in his seat and
grinned The rest OF the audience
roared in glee.

Seventy years ago the nunsber was
only 8. Contrary to common belief,
nearly three times as many men sas
women end their own lives domestic
servants furnish the greatest number
and the liberal professions come next.
So far as causes have been ascertained
81 per cent are because of Thysical
suffering, and Is per cent because of
insanity; only 10 are on account of
love- affairs or unhappiness at home.
