LIFE T eIGORS AT WL ON A HOMELY MAN. HP Secsordogy eee That when in battle he faced death Death turned away and ran.—New Yors Herald, Miss ELizaneTH was a very peculiar woman, She had a great deal of sense. Not that she was different from other women in this relation, but she had so much of it that it surprised many young men, One day young Robinson went to callon her. Young Robinson _was also verysensible. He and Miss Elizabeth were well matched. They could talk together on any number of subjects, and they knew just when and where to stop, just what to say, and what not to say. On this par- ticular day, there was a long story in the afternoon papers about a person known as ‘* Jack the’ Kisser,” who bothered many young women and girls in the streets by catching them and kissing them. Miss Elizabeth said that she did not think that a girl could be kissed by any man unless she wanted him to kiss her. _ Robinson said that any man could kiss any woman by brute force. Miss Elizabeth said that that was all nonsense. ‘* I'll tell you what we'll do,” said Robinson ; “* you are certain that a man can not kiss a woman unless she is a party tothe kissing. Iam certain that aman can, We—you and I—will try it.” Miss Elizabeth said she did not see any harm in that, so Rot- inson began to try to kiss her. After several minutes and ‘trials, he succeeded, and she, seeing that it was useless to combat him further, gave in and let him'kiss her all he wanted to. When it was all over, beth had an inspiration. ‘I'll tell you what we'll do,” said izabeth ; ** my foot slipped that time. We'll try it over again.” —New York Sun. ‘Ts there a man in all this audience,” fiercely exclaimed a female lecturer, ‘*that has ever done soything to lighten the burden resting on his wife's shoulders ?. What do you know of woman's work ? “Is there a man here,” she continued, folding her arms, and looking over her audience with superb scorn, “that has ever got upin the morn- ing, leaving his tired, worn-out wife to enjoy her slumbers, Fone quietly down stairs, made the fire, cooked his own breakfast, sewed the missing buttons on the children’s clothes, darned the family stockings, scoured the pots and kettles, cleaned and filled the lamps, swept the kitchen, and done all this, if necessary, day after day uncomplainingly? If ess is — a man in this audience, let him rise up! 1 should like to see him!" And in the rear of the hall a mild-looking man in spectacles, in obedience to the summons, timidly arose. He was the husband of the eloquent speaker. It was the first time he had ever had a chance to assert himself.— Exchange, * Don'r you ever goto see comedies ?” inquired Miss Laura, “No,” said Miss Irene, * laughing produces wrinkles.” And Miss Irene went on reading the ‘* Editor’s Drawer” in Har- Young Americans Who do not wish to lose their hair before they are forty, must begin to look after their scalps OAKLEY’S Handkerchief Extracts before they aretwenty.—W. ¥.
