Appealing to George.

A young lady visiting at Vallejo, Cal., is quite sweet on. a certain young journalist. One morning the pair started out for a long ramble over in the Contra Costa hills. Being gone all day, they returned in the evening completely worn out and fatigued. The young lady and gentleman were met by a party of their friends soon after their return, and were asked as to what kind of a time they had. Now, the young lady has* a very unhandy habit of proving any assertion she may make by appealing to any friend that she happens to have ■With her at the time. So, as usual, away'she went, and answered the inquiry as follows: “Oh, we had a fine time. But climbing over rocks and bushes has made me black and blue ill over, hasn’t it George?” (appealing to the young man who had gone out with her). George said emphatically that he’d be hanged if he knew anything about it, and now that young couple get no rest from the chaffing of their friends.— Wheatland Graphic.
