.OME OTHER PRIZES
The pr z» offered by Mr. E L. John-
4011 for the ycung lady receiving moBt
votes for the pretties* girl present won,
Some Things to Prove That She Is Variabl*
a* the Winds.
There are things about the feminine char
acter which completely b&ffie my somewhat
frivolous intellect.
They are only little things, but they are
more puzzling to me -than tho doctrine of
pralapearTan preterit!on or the theory ol
preadamite existence.
For instance, why does a girl always
want a glass of loe water at the most in
convenient times and places?
Why does she want the nearest window
opened if it is closed and closed if itis open?
Why does she keep yon waiting three-
quarters of an hour in the parlor, and then
put on her gloves in tbe street?
Why does she go to a dance with a man
she doesn’t care for and rely on shaking
him after she gets there? Why doesn’t she
ever choose the right man for her escort?
Why does she never discover that a man
is “perfectly lovely” until he has married
some other girt?
Why does she never want to walk on the
turf until she sees the sign, “Keep Off the
Grass?” And why does the warning, “Do
Not Pick the Flowers,” immediately start
her to gathering s bouquet?
Why does she always admire the man
you particularly loath f
Why doesshe act babyishly silly when you ATHENS,
want her to be practical, and sternly practi-[
cal at times when you could not only par
don but gladly welcome a little exhibition
of fond foolishness on her part?
Why does she refuse your invitation to
an after theater supper when you are flush
and accept with alacrity when you are “re
duced to $8?”
Why does she come and alt all over you
in the horse car, if’she doesn’t know you,
and then insist in keeping three feet away
from yon on the parlor sofa after yon be
come acquainted?
These problems are, as I have said before,
too much for me. Perhaps they have all
been thought out by some eminent philoso
pher, but I doubt it.
I believe they form a valuable addition to
the doctrine of the unknowable as eluci
dated by Mr. Herbert Spencer.—Pock.
His Arithmetic. ,
The bid was taking his first lessons in
arithmetic.
‘If yon eat one apple now and one 10 min
utes later, what will that make?” asked
the teacher.
“Two,” responded the young mathemati
cian.
“Then if yon eat two more, what will
that make?”
‘Four.”
“Then three more, what will that make?”
The boy hesitated a moment.
‘Green or ripe?” he inquired.
“What difference is that?” asked the
teacher in some surprise.
‘A good deal,” responded the boy. *Tf
they’re green, three more’ll make me have
a pain.”—Detroit Free Press.
Getting It Off HU Mind.
‘Now, Johr,” she said persuasively, “you I
will try to do those few errands for me |
when you get down town.”
“Yes, Indeed,” he replied.
“Don’t put them off.”
‘No. I make it a rule now, when I prom-1
ise to do anything for you, to get it off my |
mind as quickly as possible.”
“Yes,” she answered, with a gentleness I
that relieved the sarcasm, “you do—by for-1
getting It.”—Washington Star.
The Object Partly Attained.

Boy, this is the third morning I’ve seen
