When a woman has money, she
shows it, but a man doesn’t.
If a boy thinks his sister is pretty,
there is no doubt that she is.
It actually looks indelicate to see an
old girl attempt to be “roguish.”

good enough business man to carry.

when ping-pong is played, and the
balls go under the sideboard and table

A certain venerable Atchison man
is very sick, but lie cannot escape
marrying gossip. “If he gets well,”
the women say, “maybe—” the name
of a certain widow completes the
story.
Atchison once had a rough rider who
had a habit of shooting at people and
fighting. He was a sure enough thor-
oughbred, but the police could not re-
form him, neither could bis kin.
Finally he married a woman weighing
less than a hundred pounds, and she
didn’t do a thing but make him be-
have himself.
The reformers have a new com-
plaint: The rich women in big cities
have no babies. It is said that in
certain districts in Chicago anil New
York, where rich people live, not a
single baby can be found. The re-
formers do 'riot propose to stand it,
and the women might as well take the
hint.
