As The Editor Sees 1t.

Two young men met on the
public street and entered into a
conversation. One Of the young
men lived in the town, while the
other was from nearby village.
A pretty girl came by. The
town boy sized her up and made
. suggestive remark. Then they
both looked, and laughed, and
looked again.
Another girl passed, with a
careless look in their direction
but without speaking. The town
boy was silent. but he from the
neighboring village appraised hel
charms, expressed his opinion
and-the fight was on.
II makes a difference whose sis
ter you talk about.
A citizen met the editor OF I
paper on the street one day.
