Co-ODeratjye Lunch Room,

Director Ralph of the bureau of en-
craving and printing is not permitted
under the laws to allow his 400 en-
ployes to leave the bureau at lunch
time. Recently he has devised a
manner by which the lunch basket
can be dispensed with. and by reduc-
ing the cost of living to the minimum,
these employees of the government
are fed on half fried chicken, mash
ed potatoes, sliced tomatoes and corn,
bread and butter and pie, at 20 cents
for each lunch. There are equally
interesting menus but the above
serves as a sample illustration of the
fact that cooperative lunch rooms
make it unwise for any one to 60
hungry at MONDAY.

Listen, daughter. Don't cry and
don't make your mother think that
her little lamb has been abused. Yes.
I know that the stranger spoke to
you. Disrespectfully. you say?
Called you "Kiddo!" Well daughter,
perhaps the man thought you answer
ed to the name of "Kiddo." You
see, he only arrived here this morn
ing. He happened to notice you at
the depot when he got of the train.
Yes, know you only went to the
depot to see IL any Of the girls had
gotten back from the city. And then
you say he happened to be standing
on the hotel porch this afternoon
when you went to the postoffice. I
know. of course, you could hardly
help glancing in his direction when
you went by and when you and Flos-
sy Fay passed that way later, it
wasn't your fault that Flossy asked
you. loudly enough for him to hear.
If you weren't sick and tired of liv-
ing In this poky old town? So when
you took a walk this evening he saw
you, sauntered after you and at the
corner near the drug store he over
took you and raising his hat asked
whats your hurry, Kiddo?" And
you ran home in tears, to tell your
mother how you had been insulted.
Thank God for that. You're Dads
girl yet. But don't blame the man.
He knows that there are kiddos in
every town. He meets them at the
depots. He notices them passing and
re-passing the hotels and going to
and from the postoffices and he al
ways sees them with Flossies. But
those men will never speak to the
girls who mind their own business
