DOROTHY DIX TALKS


to come and mercifully end your sufferings
Who cannot recall desolate evenings
spent in looking over collections that
meant absolutely nothing IN hls young
life, and of turning over millions Oh
stamps, or photographs, every one OF
which he could have bedewed with his
tears of boredom? Who has escaped the
religious OF philanthropic fanatic who
fixed him with glittering eye and maun-
dered on for hours and hours about ms
favorite theme? Not one, For the Hobby
Bore, like the poor, is always with US, and
unlike the poor we cannot give him dime
and buy freedom and sure ease from hls
tongue,
Third among masculine bores Is the Man
Who Believes Himself Humorist.
The most obnoxious form OF him is
found in what is known as the Village
Cut-Up. He is the youth who thinks 1T is
funny to play practical jokes and who
drops ice cream down young mems collars,
and turns mice loose in ball room, and
who achieves his greatest trlumphs at
weddings, when he pins signs reading
eve Are a Bridal Couple BE Good 10
Us" on the bags of a couple lust starting
out on their honeymoon.
Anything that makes another look ridi-
culous, or that embarrasses another, is the
Village Cut-Up's idea of joke, and 1t is
to escape this pest of provincial commtini-
ties that many people move TO large
cities. They fall from the frying pan into
the fire. however, for the urban variation
of this type of bore is the perpetual story
teller, whose Jokes all have whiskers on
them, and who tells you, as a humorous
adventure that has happened to himself,
the funny story you read IN the morning
paper. -, wv,
The fourth among bores is the Man Who
Thinks He Is Fascinator.
He is generally sap-headed youth, or q
doddering grandpa that no woman wouio
look at except as meal ticket, or a pur-
vevor of theatre seats. Probably dozens
of women have snubbed him and insuted
him. but nothing has shaken his faith IN
his own charms or his belief that he has
only to throw the handkerchief and the
entire female sex will scramble for IT.
He makes love TO every woman he meets,
and asks her if she isn't afraid to thrtis,
herself with him, and she yawns behind
her fan and thinks that the only danger
she is in is that of being bored to death
The fifth among bores, and perhaps the
hardest of all to endure, Is the faiiure
Who Knows 1t All.
He has never succeeded himSelf, but he
is n headliner in handing out advice to
Others. He has never been able to make 9
living but he can tell the Secretary or the
Treasury how to run the financing of The
United States He hasn't got judgment
enough to make corner grocery sue
cess. but he knows exactly what should be
done about the League of Nations, and he
spends his life making people tired teiline
them all about everything
Do YOU qualify IN any OF these nN'
classes of bores? Think it over.

''They are so cold and hungry, poor

you would soon have them home and they
would be nice and comfortable
"I should think they would be cold, :
said Mr. Fox, crawling along with YOU
at that snail pace. Come hurry along
Mr.. Fox turned around as he said this
and his tail was within easy reach OF Mrs.
Turtle. so she opened her mouth, and
when Mr. Fox trotted off she was on the
end OF his tail
When they came to the old log Mr..

were there and old Mrs. Turtle let go her

WINE MAKERS COMPLAIN.

Wine makers of this State are COM
splaining that the Walker bill imposes
an unfair tax upon them in the sale
of sacramental wines and that they can
not compete with makers outside the
State who do not have to pay this tax.
The profits in any case are unusual,
and when such dealings are counte-
nanced as the sale of champagne for sac
ramental purposes-as has been done
and with revenue officials consent, II
one can believe the gossip Of the vine
valley districts-the State might as well
have part Of the revenue.-Rochester

a half hat band And he is the happiest,
cheeriest thing on earth, for he is always
lost in JOYOUS contemplation OF that
marvel of perfection himself. And he
is bathed in a glow of elf-righteousness,
for he feels that he is doing noble and
altr,iistic thing In telling you how great
and wonderful he is and permitting you 10
admire him. :,
The Man Who Talks About Himself
has only one topic. Himself. But that is
inexhaustible He never wearies In telling
YOU of the most insignificant tales OF his
life. He will spend hours describing to
YOU Just why he eats oatmeal ior break
fast and takes his steak medium done,
and when he begins on the thrilling serial
of what he said to the boss and what the
boss said to him, it is a continuous per-
formance which nothing save some un-
toward accident can stop. :.
The Man Who Talks About Himself
sees all life in terms of his own ego. The
most important thing that happened IN
the Great War was his bying a Liberty
Bond. Talk about the masterpieces OF
literature, and he hauls out of his pocket
book nd reads to you letter signed by
Nox Popilu that he wrote to some news
paper. Speak of great artists and be tells
YOU that he painted the house white with
green trimmings. Refer to some frlghtful
catastrophe that has wrecked cities and
slain thousands, and he breaks in with an
account of the time he spralned his big toe.
Prudent people flee at his approach,
and he attributes it TO envy and jealousy
and that no man murders him is the signal
triumph of civilization over our natural
impulses for any jury would aeqult the
SLAYER on the ground of iustifiable homl-
eide, committed in self defense.
Close akin to the Man Who Talks About
Himself is the Man Who Rides His
Hobby.
Sometimes he is a stamp collector.
Sometimes he an amateur photographer.
Sometimes he is a student of the Ancient
Aztec Ruins. Sometimes he Is Prohlbi-
ZIONIST, or a Ritualist, or Spirltuallst
Sometimes he plays golf. Sometimes he Is
a motorist.
II doesn't make any difference. The
minute YOU get in his society, he mounts
his hobby and drags YOU up beside HIM,
and YOU are off through desert wastes OF
talk that make you pray for speedy death
