LITTLE MAN HAD HIS OPINION
General Verdict of the Company Was
That He Spoke From Experience
More or Less Bitter.

Conversation had drifted once more
to the ever-interesting subject of mar
riage. The smoking room was full,
and almost every man had contributed
something out of his own personal
experience to the, discussion.
Some said long engagements were
better than short ones, some held that
marriage was an utter failure. and
others that it was the only thing that
made life worth living.
One perky little person insisted that
man should be master in his own
house." but was violently opposed by
a regular giant, who believed in ''leav-
ing things to the wife," and so on.
This subject, however, was side
tracked by somebody observing that
it was curious to note how little men
almost invariably married large wo-
men. At this, a very small, unhappy
looking little man burst suddenly into
life.
mo. sir; you are wrong!" he pro-
tested mildly TN my opinion it is
The big women who marry the little
nen!"
