NOT ALL AiIk L..

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
When | was sixteen years of age l started
going with a young man who had been my
playmate years before OF course, loved him
with all my heart We went together steady
for nearly two years and a half. In July be-
came engaged to him, believing him to love me,
but shortly before he went on his vacation,
which was in September, he wrote me note,
and told that he no longer cared for me,
because ! too good and kind to him.
I'll admit Miss Fairfax, l nursed both him
and his mother in June and July when they
were sick, and the doctor told them had IL not
been for my tender they would have died.
For over a month stayed home from work
(mcanng no pay), and besides taking care of
siN-room apartment doing all the house clean
ing and laundry, and what thanks did | get
out Of it? Merely thank you.
Through a business meeting met a nice fell
low. and he has been to see / told him
what l thought Of men, and he told me that
all men weren't alike. | told him he didn't
understand, and he told he did, because
when he was on the Mexican border he became
engaged to an American girl, and / suppose
she broke his heart, also.
Miss Fairfax. he has told to forge: this
fellow because he never cared for me. and to
try once more to be happy. Everything that
used to please me once displcascs now.
My motto since he broke the engagement has
been-See no man--hear no msn--l<iss no man
and love no man. DO you think | am right to
be judging all men as do?
HEARTBRoKEN
No. l don't think you are Just in Judging al
men you do. All men not alike as al
women not alike. You would not care {,
have a man Judge you by another woman, would
you? This second man you have met has the righ
idea, and it would be we'll to follow his advice.
the young man did not love you before you ma +.
ried him BE thankful for that

A HUNT FOR CHRISTMAS CHEtR.
Listen my children and you shall hear
OF a midnight quest for some Xmas
cheer.
over the river and down the shore,
We followed the trail, but the scanty
or the speak casy keeper had all run out
SO started of the bootleg route.
Many the bullying boot we hailed,
Ever our tears and entreaties failed
Often familiar hips we spied.
Equally often our high hopes died.
Sick and disgusted at last we turned
Liquorless back where the home lights
burned.
Sailing along in sight of the port,
A stranger stopped us--for sale a quart
A boon more sought than a horse for
Dick,
We grabbed that bottle and beat it quick
The cheer we sought for so far and wide
We found in sight of our nreside
And the Yulctide rang with our merry
glee,
Cause The stun was Liquor instead OF
Tea.

the subject of gravity.

age of an old school boy pastime.
Standing erect, with both feet to-
gether for the experiment there
is no trouble TO lift one foot Even
here there is a slight shift un-
consciously to maintain center OF
gravity. But separate the feet
several inches. six to twelve, keep
ing body rigidly upright and you
will wonder whore your muscle
is. The foot cannot be lifted. A
weight cannot be lifted unless the
litter can become the common
center of gravity for both in his
feet. His adversary knows this
and prevents il. Strength is of no
value
