DO IT ALONE.

DO IT ALONE.
The Rotary club of Manchester,
England, recently gave a dinner at
midday to Harry Lauder, the come
dian. A Scottish menu was served
in his honor, the haggis figuring promi-
nently. The Cock o. the North" was
duly played by piper and on the table
were beer, wine and spirits.
Said Harry to his hosts:
1--WE, as Rotarians, meet as a bust
ness proposition in the middle of the
day, when drink Is not necessary.
You may take one, two or three and
go back to business 'muzzy.' You
can't do your business II you are in a
state of 'muzziness.' When you have
finished you can drink as much as you
like but do 1t alone. II you are going
to hell, go by yourself; don't drag
anyone with you. / have gone into
clubs-not often, thank God-and
seen a fellow come in when every
other place was closed. He was re-
garded as jolly good fellow, and
everybody clapped him on the back
and laughed. Did his people at home
laugh?"

,MPERTINENr QUESTIONS.

Oh, bride of June, how are things
going? Is happiness still overfiowingf
Did all your dreams pan out divinely
or did they hzzle out supinely?
In June you ambled to the altar and
there assumed the marriage halter;
your face was glowing in its gladness,
and far away seemed gloom and sad
ness, and all Of US who watched the
pastor attach you to your lord and
master (who promised, too, to love
and cherish) were hoping Joy would
never perish.
Oh, bride, of proud and stately car
rage, what's your opinion now of
marriage? Is man the seraph that
you thought him, before love to the al
tar brought him? Before those SOL
emn vows were taken, that man Of
yours was fairly achin' to hustle round
and do your bidding, cen thought he
knew you were but kidding. You mere
~ had to raise your finger, and not an
instant would he linger, but he would
fly to fetch and carry, your willing
and your patient. He jumped around
without COMPLAINING little dog
had better training.
This morning, when you dropped
your candy and couldn't reach 1t very
handy, you said to Harry, Fetch 1t,
dearest!" He said, you get it
you're the nearest!"
Why did your eyes begin to drizzle?
Is matrimony then fizzle?
With optimism glad and sunny,
your Harry blew all kinds of money,
as though the roubles grew on hedges,
before he took his bridal pledges. He
bought you everything you wanted;
the doodad stores he daily haunted,
to buy you nice and costly presents,
from rhinestone rings to royal pleas
ants. He took you riding in his mo-
tor, and now and then ran down
voter; he took you to those moving
pictures for which the censor had no
structures. Oh, is your husband and
defender the same old cheerful, Law
ish spender?
heard him say, as was passing,
mot all an Astorbilt's amassing could
keep a modern girl in money - I'm
busted fiat as blazes, honey!" /
thought, one moment, you had tainted.
Is marriage all that you had painted?
Oh, bride, it's just this life that's
phoney; don't blame it all on matri-
mony. You've got to learn that hui
man critters are planted here to take
their bitters. All mankind is a rough
old relic; no woman's man is quite an
gelic.-By Walt Mason, from Judge.
