THE WOMAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH

There was once a Woman who Understood her Fellow Men very Thor* oughly. This Endeared her to Many of Them, but as she was Very Par* ticular in Her Tastes, they Seldom Suited her. Finally, however, she Found a Man who Perfectly Satisfied all her Requirements. She then Brought to Bear upon him All her Information concerning His Sex, which was Great One day the Man’s Sister Called on Her and said, "It is a Good Thing that you are So Strong, for so is He, and He does Not Like Delicate Women.” At this the Woman Smiled. "I should be Very Foolish were I to Act on This Hint,” said. she. "My Knowledge of Men teaches me that Such Men invariably Prefer Womenjof Opposite Disposition from Themselves.” So when he Next Saw her she Told him that she was Terribly Afraid of Mice end Could Not Walk Far. Again His Sister Called on Her and said, "It is-a Good Thing that

► you Understand Politics so Well, for he is Much Interested in it, and says that All Intelligent Women should be, too.” The Woman Smiled Wisely. “I should be More than Foolish were Ito Allow myself to be Deceived by This,” she said. “When a Woman admits that she can Master Politics, then it is All Up with Her. A Man’s last claim to Superiority is Gone, and Lase would be Unendurable to Him without That.” Sp when he next Saw her she Asked him if it were True that Republicans were Better Dressed than Democrats, and why They had to Import their Ballots from Australia. By and by he Stopped Calling, and she Learned to her Horror thaC he had Engaged himself tb a Woman who had Written a Pamphlet on the Currency Question. She herself had Given a great Many Ideas on this Subject to the Other Woman. Thus she Realized that the Man was Peculiar. X This teaches us that Things are Sometimes What They Seem.

"WHEN A WOMAN ADMITS SHE CAN MASTER POLITICS, THEN IT IS ALL UP WITH HER."
