He Knew the Reaniremeats.

Uncle Silas, in his youth, had been “fond of the society of iihe opposite sex,” to use his own words, and the timidity'of hjs 23-year-old nephew was a great trial to him. “What’s the matter of you. Rod, that you stick at home Sunday evenings?” he demanded plainly, after many unavailing hints. “Why don’t you go calling on some of your young lady friends, boy?” “Oh, I don’t care about It,” said Rodney, turning a lively crimson. They wouldn’t find me interesting." “Wouldn’t?” puffed Uncle Silas. "Well, I should like to be told why they wouldn’t. You’ve got a good black suit and a new straw hat, and you’ve got a pair of legs that could take you to the candy shop on Sat’day night, and enough pockets to put a box or two in. I should like to know what more you need to make ’em find you interesting?”
