EMBARRASSING.

Joseph Jefferson, the actor. once told
a friend this story:
~ was coming down the elevator OF
the stock exchange building. and at
one of the intermediate floors a man
whose face | know as well as | know
yours got In. He greeted me warmly
at once, said it was q number of years
since we had met and was friendly
and gracious. but l couldn't place him
for the life of me. | asked him as a
sort of feeler how be happened to be
in New York, and he answered. with a
touch of surprise, that he had lived
there for several years. Finally | told
him in an apologize way that |
couldn't recall his name. He looked
at me for a moment. and then he said
quietly that his name was u. s. Grant"
What did you do, Joe?" his friend
asked.
"Do?' he replied, with a characteris-
tic smile. why. | got out at the next
floor for fear I'd ask him If he had
ever been In the warr'-Chicago News.

WATCHFUL WAITING.


VAT HEN Mary was a little kid
wv liked her plent! from the start;
w She kind of got me. she did.
And stole away my boyish heart;
She thrilled a heap of us that way.
And she mad lots of beaus / found;
| couldn't talk as well as they.
But-weii. l sorta stuck around.
And then. as Mary grew and grew,
My love waxed greater h before;
But she was followed by a crew
or FIVE or six or ten or more;
They used to joke and laugh and sing,
l scarcely ever made a sound,
For l was shy as anything,
But-well, 1 sorta stuck around.
She used to treat me pretty rough
And make a doormat out of me,
But my old hide was thick and tough.
And l was fond of her, o see;
She'd call me Fido and she'd make
Gay jokes about a faithful hound;
Sometimes the iests were hard to take.
But-well. | sorta stuck around.
The fellows came, the fellows went,
And Mary gently turned EN- down;
| stayed, according to my bent,
And was the i~aughingstock Of town;
Folks called me "Old Fidelity"
| meekly smiled and held my ground,
And Mary's married now-to ME.
For-well, / sorta stuck around!
