If a man mokes a break through his
own chucks ucadedress, he can laugh
over it and pretend he enjoys tt; but
If he makes a mistake simply because
he doesn’t know any better, he Is full
of mortification from the roof of bis

“About , the most humiliating experi
ence a man can have Is to get stung
to a horse trade. The average man
doesn’t know anything about a horse.
He-can see If It has four legs and a
tall and a pair of eyes, but he la ob
livious to all the things that make
* horse a good one or a poor one. If;
he gets the worst end of a trade he

while he isn’t a success at swapping
Plugs, he can tftod up « phonograph

man In the country. But he gets mad,
and the fact that he was atuck in such
a trade leaves a sore place that never
heal*.
“I can remember a, break my first
wife made when we were newly mar
ried. She tovfteei some folks to dinner,
and, after much deliberation, decided
to have a roast duck as the chief <ti«h
and told the hired girl to go ahead
and prepare the bird. Now, a duck Is
mighty fine eating, what there is of It,
hut there is mighty little substance to
tt A duck Is a mere shelL It doesn’t
rim to meat at all. A good hungry
man could eat three ducks at a sit
ting and look around for more.
“My wife, who had lived at hotels
and boarding houses all her life, sup
posed a duck was a solid chunk of
meat, and thought there would be
enough of the bird left, after the din
ner, to keep us to cold meat for a
week. Well, there were eight people
at that dinner party, and each one
had a piece of duck about the size of
a one-cent stamp.
"Everybody but my wife thought the
mistake was funny, but the most su
perficial observer could see at a glance
that her heart was broken. She tried
her blamedest to smile, but right In
the middle of the effort she broke
off with a yell, and left the room to
weep a few stanzas and she never did
recover from that humiliation. I tried
time and again to convince her that
there was nothing to be ashamed of to
such a misadventure, but she thought
the finger of scorn would be leveled
at her as long as she lived.
“I can't sit here nnd moralize to thl*
■train all day, but I feel Just as slek
as anybody when I make a break.
When the mayor was burled three
years ago there was a big procession
to his honor. A lot of mounted men
led the parade, and If you were look
tog you doubtless saw me. 1 was
tiding a big black horse, when the
big black horse wasn’t riding me. I
never supposed there was any trick to
riding a horse, so when they asked ms
to sit on a foaming charger I didn't
hesitate a minute. I got seasick be
fore I was on th* nag two intents*.
and I let go the lines end bung to it*
mane and tbs fool horse cavorted ell
over the street, so that I looked like
the Idiot who tries to ride a trick
mule at the circus.
“My evolutions simply broke up that
funeral parade and turned It Into a
Joy ride. I really wasn’t to blame to
any way, but whenever I think of tbs
episode a cold sweat breaks out on
me, and I feel like offering myself to
the first comer for seventeen cents."
