A CURE FOR BORES -
! 'I am in trouble,” said Bremnev to
Ins friend Soumcis, ‘‘and I want you
to lie’p me out.”
“Financial ?’ asked Sommers, with
a slight contracting of his eyebrows.
“Oh, no. Wor a e than that a good
deal.”
“I didn't know anything could be
worse io these paniey times. What
is it ?’’
“1 have a friend,” said Breintner,
“or a man who thinks himself my
friend, and whom for certain reasons
1 wish t<> shake off. but be refuses to
be shaken. Now you are a resource
fui man and may be ab'e to give me a
hint. I have tried .everything with
Stints —every thing short of of positive
insult—and all to no purpose.''
“What is the matter with him:”
risked Sommers.
The nutter is this: He has a boy
7 years old or thereabouts, and be al
ways persists in talking about the lad
—in fact, he ian’t talk of anything
elae—and imagines eveiy one as
deeply interested as himself. J have
nothing at all against the bov lie
is good enough, commonplace little
fellow, like nil the rest of them. 1
never see any huierei ce in boys my
self. They all teem equally cbjee
tional. But Snaggs comes 1o our house
bus down and talks about his hoy until
]’am pearly driven crazy. I hope
you can suggest something for my re
lief.”
“1 suggest.” said Sommers, “that
rou take Snaggs to the state of Mich
igai*, U. S A., and kill him ”
“Why to Michigan?” queried Brern
luei.
‘•Oh, simply leeau-e they don't
bang for murder there, and any penal
iv short of Imaging should he cheer
fully borne to get rid of a man like
Si aggs.”
“I didn't knorr vow were acquainted
with him,” said I ’••on arer ex-itcdly.
“I’m not, blit I’m afflicted in tho
s.rne way myself.”
‘Nonsense!” cried Promt nor, “I
never oven heard you mention
\or cliihlrej!.”
•i mean th. lam afflicted with a
friend like Snaggs. It’s a (laughter
in Ins case. 11is name is Gregsbv
I'm even worse ulf than you are, f,,r
this only daughter is but f> s ears old.
You are two years, ahead of me. By
and by the boy will reach years of
discretion, and ne will get then;
quicker than Gregshy's girl,”
“1 don't know about that," Hr. in
ner replied gloomily. “Girls grow up
so much faster than boys do.”
“But they never reach years of di.-
cretion, you know."
“I don’t believe any son of Snaggs'
will either. Tim boy’s hither hasn't
at any rate. But I say, Sommers, an
idea strikes me , Why not introduce
Snaggs and Gregsbv to each other?”
“That wouldn’t he a bad plan," re-
Thin, Pale
Children
One satisfaction in giving
Scott’s Emulsion to children is
they never object to it. The
fact is, they soon become fond
cf it. Another satis:action is
because it wi.i make them
plump, and give them growth
and prosperity. It should be
given to all child; n wffo are
too tiiin) or too pale. It does
net make them over-fat, but
plump.
It strengthens the digestive
organs and the nerves, and fur
nishes material for rich blood.
We have a bock telling you more on
the subject. Sent free tor the asking.

plied Somuicrs cheerfully, “and then
we might bet on them. I’ll back my
man to be the greater bore.”
“Fnere would’t be any use in bet
ting,” said Bremner, ‘'for if your man
is as bad as mine it could only end in
a draw.”
“Bring your man round, and we'll tost
the case.”
“Shall 1 bring Suaggs to your house
tomorrow night then?” asked Krein
ner.
“Yes, and if vou’re in for a bet I’m
your victim. !• have great faith in
Gregby and would like to have a little
stake on him.”
“It’s a serious with me,” replied
Bremner.
“Oh, very well, then, I'll expect.you
t morrow night 'about S o'clock,
though I suspect yotirman is not hid;
so capable a bore as mine,”
It was a few minutes before 8
o’clock when Gr< gsV.y pressed the
electric button at the Sommers
residence. Sommers heard h.m talk
to Mrs. Sommers in the hall saving:
“Oh, yes, thank you. she is quite well.
I'll tell you something funny that she
said today to her mother.”
Sommets groaned and helped him
self to a quantity ot the stimulant
provided for his guests. The moment
Grigsby appeared, smiling, and Som
mers greeted liitn with well feigned
cordiality.
Very eoen the Leli rang again, ana |
a few minutes after Ibeinner was in
traducing Sntts'gs to the two sitting: in
the smoking room.
“Beastly we. t!r*r this,” said Gregs by
to lilt) newcomer. “I don’t mind the
weather myself, but when a man lias
children he is compelled to think cf
it.”
“ila-.e you children?” asked Snaggsj
with apparent interest. “I’ve*;! little j
boy in\self, hut he doesn’t mind the!
weather in the least.”
“1 shouldn't say children,” replie 1 |
Gregshy. “1 have one little girl, am 1
she is only 5 3 ears old, but wonder
fi by knowing for her ago, and this!
weather is so had that she misses he*
walk with her mama. We never trust 1
her without a nurse, you know”—
‘•I was saying,” broke in Snag's*
“Licit i have a little boy myself. He
is 7, and be goes out in till sorts ol
weather. I don’t believe in coddling
children. And that reminds me of a
clever thing lie said tome this morn
ing. Me alw a vaccines a little piece cf
the wav with me when 1 start for of
fice. Lie”—
“All, yes," interrupted Gregsliy,
“but girls are delicate little creatin', s
and have to lie taken care of.”
•'Quite so," agreed thiaggs. “1
admit, thiit there are disadvantages
about gil ls that beys are (juito fro
from.”
“Disadvantages!’ cried Gtvgsby:
“You don’t mean to say that a groat
clumsy boy is to be compared with a
neat little girl ? I would rather have
-a girl any' day, big or little, than a
boy.”
“Oh. every one to his taste,’ said
Snaggfc loftily. “My the way, Brern
ner, did 1 tell you what, my said the
other day when I took him to have his
iiatr cat ?”
“No," said lire nn r enthusiastically
“Teli it 1 > us, Snaggs.”
“C-irls,” put in Gregshv, “don't
have to have, their hair eat. My little
girl has the most beautiful of golden
hair you ever saw. You’ve seen it,
Sonniers. Kverv one turns to look at
her when, she walks out with her
mother.”
“Humph:” arid Snaggs, with ill
concealed contempt. “1 was saying
that I took my boy Vo have his bail
cut, and it was the first time that he
had ever been to a barber’s shop. A
; man was being shaved, and his face
[was all over lather. "Without a word
the boy drew his hands from mine and
bolted for home, rttnniug so fast that
; I didn’t overtake him until he was at
| the door. WVhat did you do that fur>
you ■ oung rascal ?’ I said.
“ *Oh, papa,’ he ana wsorod, ‘if my
| face is going to break out like that, 1
don’t want to havo my hair eat. Fun
!nv wasn’t it? He thought the father
was the result of the lniir cutting

lie’s awfully quick at reasoning, that
boy.”
‘“Well, it seems to me that he didn’t
reason to a very correct conclusion.
Now, tuy little girl was haring a dress
titled the other day, and she asked the
dressmaker where the dress orchard
wat. Site thought that dresses grew
on trees.”
“1 must confess that I can’t see
much reason about that,” said Snaggs
spitefully, ‘“if you are giving it as in
stance of reasoning against what my
boy said of the man at the •barbel’s. - '
‘ Reasoning?” holly replied Gregs
by. “I never said anything about
reasoning It was poetical. She
thought dresses grew on trees, and
that ribbons v. ere the blossoms. She
tola me so herself. And then another
time she and her mother were com er
sit'S” —
"You’ll have to excuse me, said
Snaggs, rising. “I remember now
that 1 have an appointment at the
club. 1 forgot it ihemner, when 1
promised to come here with vou.’
“‘Oh, don't go {vet,” saul Ihemner.
•‘Tell us that story about what the
hoy said to the organ grimier.”
“Ah, yes,” said Snaggs eagerly, ap
parently forgetting lus appointment
in the joy of narration. “‘.Mr. Som
mers didn’t hear that one did he?
Well, one day an organ grinder
stopped in front of our house”—
‘“1 don’t wish to interrupt,” put in
Gregsby, also rising, “but 1 promised
-Mrs Gregsby that 1 would be home
almost directly. 1 merely came over,
Som.tea's to tell you that I could not
stay tonight.”
“Oh, well,” cried Sommers aud
Cremner simultaneously, using aud
holding out their hands, “if you
rtflly must go, why, you must, I sup
pose.”
“1 am very giad to have made your
acquaintance, 14 r. Gregsby,” said
liremner as he sliyok'hands and wished
him good night, and iit- added: “1
wh-.h you would come over some
night and sA“ met Aly lriend Mr.
Snaggs here often pops in, and we wilt
all get better acquainted.”
“And you, Mr. Snaggs, drop in and
see me,” said Sommers. “Vou wili
be nearly always sure ot uncling
Gregsby litre. Come in often and
have achat. 1 have a lot of hoys my
self, and I like to hear about them.”
‘ That man Gregsby is a blanked
idiot,” said Snaggs to lire inn or a few
day s afti r, “and I give you notice that
if 1m comes to your house 1 won’t.”
And as Gregsby said almost the
s ii.io thing to Sommers let us hope
that the acid of one neutralizes the
other Idler.
