An Interesting Woman.

There doubtless fairer women are
Yet none with more attractive ways
She draws the men from near and far;
Magnetic? Yes, beyond all praise.
The grave, the gay, the young, the old,
All wait upon her least behest;
Weatever diverse views they hold,
She never fails to interest.
In trdth, she's nothing but sage,
Nor has she any special wit;
Although with men of every age
She never fails to make hit.
What is the secret of her speech?
Which every man doth so enthral;
Which is of interest to each,
And never, never, seems to pail?
Here is most effective plan,
And proves her an ingenious elf
She knows what interests every man,
And lets him talk abou himself

Not Afraid of q Ghost.

In a village in England a man
went running into an inn at 8
o'clock at night and cried out that
there was a ghost in his back yard
There were fourteen men in the
inn, and not one of them dared to
ge home with the man and investi-
gate. There was.s person who
dared, however, and that was the
landlords daughter, a girl of four
teen. Some of the men followed
her at a distance, and she went into
the yard and up to the ghost, flap
ping its arms about, and discovered
q mans white shirt tapping on the
clothesline in strong breeze.
That's about the way al ghosts turb
