AROUND THE CITY
BY MAMIE LANCASTER.

| took a business card from his coat and
| laid 1t on the desk-you know how
some men are.
Pass her this, will you? And tell
| her if ever she's widow to get me
on the long distance phone"
That was one man. Pretty soon
| another came along and looked the
| exhibit over.
That's a mighty sweet little chick
en-. Single or married."
| The marriage was reaffirmed.
| That's bad. but tell her she may
consider me an applicant for No. .,
and to put me as near to the head
| as she can, will you?"
| All just nonsense, Of course, but it
meant admiration with all its varia-
tions from cave man to now.
! And, in that same oftice-right
| where nybody-everybody see
| her, sat a worthy woman in specs,
doing things with index cards, who
couldn't get husband. no matter how
| hard she tried. She said so. herself.
| Which, as you see. proves without
| room for contradiction. that fate is
| woman--she is so unfair with other
women
In the matter OF men.
LIE began life as a pioneer and
- = has passed his Bible limit with a
heart brimful of kindness for his
fellow man, but with. no great knoWl-
edge Of books. For one interest, he
is sympathetically concerned in the
welfare Of his old landlady--a hard
working soul whose husband has n
way of streaking off for months at
time on what he calls scientific eX-
ploration for the Government, with no
salary attached, only to return to be
slavishly served and humored by his
| wife, who sneakingly admires what
she calls his "culchur." And this
Is what the pioneer had to say to
| woman friend about the latest home
coming:
well, the Cap'n walked in on us
! last night, as casual as If he had only
been around the corner-not a red
| copper to his name, but a suit case
| Uttered up with shells he picked up
on some mountain to show the sea
used to be there. And, as usual, the
| madam was as overjoyed as If he had
brought her bank. And while the
poor soul was making him a pan of
hot biscuits and pot of coffee, and
fixing up all the cold things left over
from dinner, he sits back with book

only thing around he was interested in.
One thing took notice of was that
he must be thinkin' Of bein' converted
TO your church, judging by the name
Of the book-I took it down to ask
you. What Pope was it, Nancy, that
wrote this-here it is.
And the Nancy woman read the
carefully written title:
''Pope's Essay on Man"

! A y Indian, full.blooded enough to
have stepped out of the Catlin

day-which shows what civilization
will do.
| A quill stuck in his black felt hat
| took the cuss off his job-lot suit, and
another concession to tribal custom
| expressed itself in moccasins that
tried to look like low shoes-and failed.

The Indian looked and looked and
looked Then he went inside and
bought switch of black hair.
This had a sinister meaning for one
of the women who were trailing him:
BET that hair makes him think Of
the time he used to scalp us"

door But the motorman kept right
on until he came TO the corner. he
had his orders and he was obeying
them-same as Casabianca.
Then the girl skipped out and down
the street Whether she found her
hat, which must have been ruined,
anyow, seeing that the asphalt was as
wet as a just hooked eel, or whether
she had the money to buy another
hat, is what friend Potash would call
something else yet All the passengers
had to say about it-and they said it
aloud-was that a motorman ought
to know an emergency when it came
his way. Which, likewise, might be
said Of the Boy who Stood.
The fair lady voiced general opinion
by calling attention to a crumb of a
boy just sprouting into knee pants.
IF it hadder been my kid that had
tumbled out Of the winder, he would
have run his old car just the same"
1t was unanimously conceded that
| it was exactly what the motorman
would have done, which distressing
case would have enabled the fair lady
to cry out with the poem:
THE boy, oh, where was he?"
But S the boy didn't tumble out of
the window, no one could put his hand
on his heart and truly declare just
what the motorman would have done.
because, when you come down to it
there is a difference between straw
and flesh and blood. All the same,
obedience can develop into a dan
gerous and uncomfortable virtue.
If you doubt it, ask Casabianca,
