ties let somebody know that you want
states to have the picnic on the same
day, so as to get advantage Of cheap
railroad rates. At lunch times we can
take sides according to states, but the
remainder of the day we can mingle
together. Along about the 18th of
September will be good time, but not
until | get one hundred letters from
those who are interested will | get
in earnest about it and go at the mat
ter with vim and vigor. 1t is to be
countrywide affair and you readers
must take it up by mail at once, or
there will be no more said about it in
these columns.
The other morning the Hired Man
was awakened at five by singing
sensation on the backs of both hands.
At evening the mosquitoes by the
scores were endeavoring to get
through the screens, and it was with
good deal of complacency that | fell
asleep safe and sound, refuged from
the insects. During the night the
swarm on the porch screen had kept
| up their tireless vigil. Half a dozen
Of them had found their way through.
They simply just stuck to it and
finally found hole somewhere! How
like temptations! How like those
| good men who want office. When
apparently they are screened out, If
they hunt day and night without ceas-
ing, some of them do find the hole
after a while and get through. But
the secret of this story is yet to come.
| Just as | awakened sufficiently to
realize what was my difficulty, a robin
come to the house and lit on the tele-
phone wire near the porch screen,
and commenced picking off the mos
quitoes one by one in rapid succession
The bird cleaned up the entire swarm
that had faithfully worked away all
night in vain attempt to get through
to the sleepers on the porch. | killed
the six that got on the inside, and thus
ends this story.
81 have been disappointed in a
woman. She was the idol Of my heart
until | spent three days in her home.
| found her selfish and little. Her
children and husband had to walk the
chalk and discommode themselves or
else the devil was to pay. Can you
soften my heart towards her? In the
first place. do not have too many OF
these idols rambling around in your
heart Your heart is too sacred a
place for such animals. No, | can not
soften your heart toward her. You
have simply been fooled in her here
tofore and have now discovered the
woman as she really is. But dom
tell any body a thing about it, LEI
them find out for themselves.
"My wife's mother is quite woman
She gave the old man a hot time mos
of his life. | fear some times | begir
to see her mother cropping out in m,
wife. Am l in for it?" The scr ptur'
states that as is the mother, so is thu
daughter. l greatly fear you are I'll
for it," and that your wife at he
mothers age will be precisely lik'
her mother is now. But by that tim
you cartinly can get over that foolisl
, lovey dovey sentimentality you form
erly had when you supposed you ha'
the onliest girl in the world. l hav
frequently said in The Tribune tina
: we must have better sense than t
, suppose that our angels around abou
: us are not to become just huma
beings when we get better acquainte
with them. There is where the youn
y man makes his mistake. Just as 500
= as that angel of his becomes his witt
he begins to find that she has goo
