of a lady whose name is Brown. One
morning recently she proceeded from
the breakfast table to the telephone in
the hall, to order some things from the
butcher.
"Hallo" said Mrs. Brown. rs that
Mr.. Battys?"
Yes"
well, this is Mrs. Browns residence.
win you send me large, thick steak
by o'clock?"
The boy in the butchers shop hap
pened to answer the telephone, and
promptly responded:
We'll, you just bet your sweet life
will"
DO you know, sir, to whom you are
speaking?" Indignantly inquired Mrs
Brown.

. . The Manicure Lady . .
By William F. KIRK

NTWAS reading a poem the other
night, George" said the Mani
cure Lady, that said it was
better to speak kind of gentle and to
rule by love instead of fear Gee! l
think that's pretty sentiment; don't
your"
There's lot of pretty sentiment in
the world" said the Head Barber, but
the doings don't fit in much with the
sentiment. Even the poets that write
beautiful thoughts don't live up to them
Bobbie Burns wrote a lot of grand,
wonderful stuff-at least so the old
Scotch dad says-but | have looked up
Bohbie a little, and it seems that he did
pretty much what he pleased while he
was here, which wasn't long enough"
We'll, anyhow" said the Manicure
Lady, 81 think 1t is kind of nice to
speak gentle as long as one can. OF
course, sometimes one can get tired of
speaking gentle when everybody else is
barking at he or she, and speaking
rough; but it is lots nicer think, to
keep ones noodle as long as one can.
"Wilfred showed the folly of speak
ing rough the other night. OF course,
the poor boy had good deal Of provo
cation, In a way, because the old gent
was all the time after him about how
poetry was drug on the market, and
how the average poet these days had to
borrow from his father or his sister to
keep from starving That was kind of
rough work, to be sure, because when
Wifred has anything you can have any
part of II that he has, which he mostly
hasn't. He's like the fellow that would
give you his shirt, but never had any
thing else to give you
But the mistake Wllfred made was
writing satire on the old gent, just to
get even. Anyhow, he said it was a
satire, though goodness knows | don't
know satire from hatiron. He read
1t to me before he showed 1t to the old
gent. and l told him that he would be
making the mistake of his life If he
read 1t to father, expecting, as Wilfred
does, to be drawing now and again on
the old gent the same as in the glad
days of wore. This Is how the satire
read, George:
ODE TO A CRUEL SIRE"
ooh, cruel sire, who balks my every
move,
Who does not know the holiness of love,
Such as a father for child should feel,
Who merely asks from him a good
square meal.
The way to Hades is long, smooth
road.
