! Where ignorance is bliss it may be
folly to be wise, but the circum-
stances are often very embarrassing
for those who do not happen to en-
| joy the bliss of ignorance. A crude
but good example of this is the story
told by a young man, who was reared
and educated in Topeka but is now
managing a ten cent store in Ala

girl produced one from underneath
the counter and held it out for the
inspection of her customer. The
woman, who was a walking advocate
the cuspidor and walked on with a
well satisfied air.

when suddenly she lifted a frightened
little face and said, Call a doctor
quick in the middle of the night,
won't you, daddy"
