MYK0FF CAN MAXIXE
As Miezyslaw Mieczkawski He
Gould Only Hesitate.

Mieczyslaw Mieczkawski thinks a
man with that name cannot become
successful as a teacher of the tango,
although the hesitation might be more
in his line. He is afraid he might be
taken for the guy that put the
mieczys in maxixe."
Mieczkawsh told the Supreme Court
yesterday that his name was a hind
rance to a man who wants to teach the
tango. He applied to Justice Lehman
for permission TO change his cognomen
TO Mietek Mykoff. which is easier to
pronounce. Justice Lehman granted
the request. and Mieczkawski hereafter
will dance under the shorter name.

DEAR LITTLE FELLOW!

Little Sammy was generally at
loggerheads with his father, who had
a habit of using his razor-strop in a
way that was not in accordance with
Sammys views.
One morning, after the razor-strop
had been more than usually busy,
Sammy's mother went out into the
field to look for her much-stropped
child. To her intense establishment,
she found him fondling a huge goat
for which he usually professed a deep
hatred
why, Sammy darling, it is nice to
see you being so kind to poor Billy!
Why are you being Sc. gentle with him
today?"
Over Sammy's face came a look
of unspeakable gratitude as he gave
the wondering goat another carrot.
HE butted father into the pond

Approaching Collins, who endeav-
ored to edge away, Quale asked him
how much he paid his girls.
Between 81 and $S," Quale says
he answered.
rs it true that you dock them for
trifling mistakes?"
81 dock them when they are care
less and get the order wrong. That
is the only way to make them be
careful"
rs it true that you make them
pay for an extra piece of butter if
the customer asks for it," Quale per-
sisted.
Collins admitted it was true.
But" Quale protested, you and
both like to have an extra piece of
butter served us"
well, the girls give customers an
extra piece of butter so they can get
tip" Quale says Collins admitted,
so they ought to pay for it."
And Collins is the man that girls
now in his employ testified they were
satisfied to work for. Something
