Meditaions Of

We Women.
A woman is as young as she looks
to the man who loves her.

getting a man TO want to buy a mar

for 4 couple of kisses.

back Of a small boys neck after he's
washed" it. or at the logic Of a mans
excuses.
A man doesn't offer to give his
heart ~ a woman, any more-he
merely lends it to her. like library
book, for week or so, with the date
of return clearly understood.
II is "middle-age," when the love
songs in musical comedies begin to
seem a little longer, and the love
scenes between the dancing 4 little
uresome.
A married woman always clutches
at compliment, and carries it home
and lays it before her husband as tn
umphantly as she would a vindication.
"Impetuosity" is what makes man

mind to propose.
Domestic responsibilities lie Oh

of the first pretty woman's smile.

Jerry was a mutt. That's all you
could ever have told by looking at
him what kind of family he had
come from. Bunny declared he looked
like a fox and gave SILVER when he
made that statement. But Bobby
thought he must have come from the
spitz family.
He was the funniest looking dog in
the world and he had the strangest
road-gait you ever saw. But never
theless Jerry was a dear little fellow
and as smart dog as ever wagged a
tail. Everybody loved him and what
good watchdog he was. Junior,
his young master had bought him for
a quarter once and there never was
quarter better invested.
Jerry paid back Juniors family
hundred-fold in love and affection and
in attending to everything which went
on in the house--as if he bore the full
responsibility. No tramp or burglar
would have dared to put his foot with
in the front gate, for Jerry raised such
a racket at the approach of stranger
that it was as startling as if great
ilre-Dell nau rung.
OF course the day We went TO see
Junior, and his mother and father
and sister, Jerry was out at the front
gate TO meet us. He didn't bark at
us. because he knew US. All he did
was to wag, not only his tail, but his
whole funny body, and show every
tooth in his head. Because Jerry
could smile.
He tore around us and escorted us
to the front door and as we stood
waiting for the maid to answer the
bell ] noticed that the slot for the
postman to put mail in was down low
-noar the floor.
That's good scheme" / said. Let
tens don't; go flying all over the floor
when they are dropped low like that.
The maid opened the door and we
vent in. We had a nice visit with
Juniors family. The children scooted

Champs Lou:
Charge Hard
To Upset

DernpSeyS style OF weaving ana
ducking to destroy a foeman's aim
has often been discussed. Jack is
never more dangerous than when
he ducks.
The heavyweight champion, which
means the champion Of champions,
does not bob his regal dome so
much to avoid the power Of a punch
as he does to get under it and
come to close quarters.
Having attained this ambition.
he bobs up again and starts swing
ing his shoulders, which in turn
starts his fists swinging In short,
vicious arcs.
Dempsey Is a body puncher
and an infighter of stunning abiI-
ity. This does not imply that
Jack cannot deliver q husky wal.

time to come.
It usually is late in the Silly
night. or even in the period when
comes the dawn. that he looks up
into the eyes Of the beautiful
trained nurse and inquiries:
Who put the lights out and what
fell on me?" =
When advancing toward q victim,i
Dempsey scuttles forward with his
feet almost on a line and his
weight well forward. 1t isn't easy
to straighten him up from one Of
his bobs with an uppercut. for the
reason that when he ducks he has
those big forearms guarding his
body and face. The time to upper
cut him is just before he starts to
duck. Unfortunately. he neglects to
notify any one as to when he ex-
poets to perform this maneuver.
That makes it hard.
But when he comes in low to get
to close quarters 1t is rather like a

merely brought his knee up sud-

advantage, but that's the trouble

charge, is hard to upset from all
directions except one. If he
