TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT IT
If Customer Was In Luck In Getting
Hat to Fit Him, How About the
Shop Keeper?

After playing a matinee perform
ance recently in Omaha, relates a
popular actor, | discovered my hat
was missing from my dressing room.
This was really a serious loss, for,
being possessed of an exceptionally
large head, 1t is not unusually neces-
sary for me to visit every hat shop in
the town before can find hat to fit.

shop keeper answered with al en-

Struggling his shoulders why, you

FABLE THAT CARRIES MORAL
Comparison of Lusty Falsehood With
Certain Class Of Truths Is
Worth Consideration.

A fox that was caught in a farmers
hen coop concluded that preyarication
might save him. In response to the
farmers query as to what he meant
by stealing chickens, the fox said: Il
never stole chickens in my life. I'm a
vegetarian"
What were you doing in my hen
coop?"
Il merely stopped her to talk about
the war from a perfectly neutral stand
point"
But how about that dead and half.

nothing about that"
But do, though" said the fox. "a
mink did that. He ran away at your
approach. would have left, too, but
the smell of fresh blood made me sick
and faint"
When the farmer regained con.
sciousness the fox was gone and so
was another fat hen.
Moral: An athletic falsehood is bet
ter than a kindergarten truth.

lions can detect the character Of their
trainers; that a drunken trainer is

should he enter the cage. They say
too that a good woman can tame the
widest beast. Perhaps that is a
legend, though.
Mademoiselle Charmeuse had been
born Lily Leigh. Her parents were
honest farmer folks way back In
Shawnee county. But there had been
a maternal grandfather who ran away
to sea. It is not boys only that in
herlt the rowing disposition. When
she was seventeen Lily had shaken
the dust off her shoes at the (bacD
entrance TO the farm and departed in
the wake of travelling show, TO grad
uate as Mademoiselle Charmeuse, the
world-famous equestrienne. After
ward, when business prospered and
the show increased in size and aspira-
tions, she became Mademoiselle Char
meuse, the renowned lion-tamer.
Some folks think circus people are
almost as bad as gypsies. That is not
the case. There are no more moral
and respectable people alive. Nobody
had ever breathed a word against
Mademoiselle Charmeuse's reputation.
Goldini, the proprietor, and the moth
erly Madame Goldinl, treated her like
daughter, even if they had picked
her up in an illegal manner struck
by her pretty face and daring. But
when Madame Goldini grew too stout
to continue to tame the lions, and re-
ligned herself to looking after the
welfare Of the circus troupe, in COM
Portable middle life, Mademoiselle
Charmeuse was thrown much more
in touch with Goldini.
1t was her task, together with Nero,
the big Dalmatian, to put the lions
through their PAGES at every country
place where they exhibited. Goldini
himself seldom entered the lions cage
nowadays. He was growing fat, like
his wife; besides, the lions had begun

dini knew what was the trouble. He
knew it in his own soul He loved
Mademoiselle Charmeuse.
The girl, always responsive to the
kindness of the couple was staggered
at the unmistakable display of the
fact that Goldini's interest in her was
no longer paternal. Love had never
come into her life. How could it?
| What had she in common with the
crowds of gaping farmers boys who
stared at her in her short skirts and
spangles, or followed her with moon
calf protestations of devotion? She
was as much alone as though she
| dwelt on a desert island.
Goldini loved her, and, in her pres
ence, the mans own crushed nature
fourished. He had been destined for
better things. He was a university
man; he had been in the Italian army,

starred Abyssinian expedition, where
he was cashiered for cowardice. The
sight of the yelling tribesmen had
been too much for his nerves; he had
ridden away, leaving his men to face

bitter secret.
Yet he had never feared wild beasts.
In Abyssinia he had learned to handle

to be a lion-tamer. On his arrival in
America he had promptly stepped into
a position with no other applicants,
and graduated to a show of his own

The consciousness of each others love
was in every word and gesture.
Only they and the lions knew, and
Goldini, noticed to his dismay that
his presence irritated them. He knew
the reason. So he left the lion-taming
to his pretty assistant, whom the great |
beasts seemed to love-and to Nero, |
whom they feared.
Only the night before, when the
good motherly woman had gone into
her tent, Goldini had told the girl of

Bad Dinners.

OF course, we all know the old say
ing that wisely admOnishes US to eat
to live rather than live to eat. But
on the other hand, that is no excuse
for the man who invites us to dinner
and then gives US a bad one. We are
helpless in his hands, condemned by
politeness to eat whatever is put be
fore us. Would that in this day and
time we could dare to emulate a Ger

story goes that once upon a time in
Ch'ang-an there lived a man who loved
giving dinners; unfortunately, afro.

dropped on his knees before him, ex-
claiming; Am l not a friend OF
yours?" you are, indeed" replied the
host "Then I ask favor of you,
said the guest, and you must grant
it before rise from my knees" What
is it?" said the host in astonishment
