Seme People Are So Extremely Modest and Shy.

The reporter becomes tolerably familiar with humanity. He can almost tell for a dead certainty when the mission of a young lady at the station is to meet her sweetheart. One day recently a pretty school teacher was at the depot. The reporter asked: “Are you looking for some one?” “Oh, not in particular,” replied the p. s. t. “I trust,” replied the reporter, “that the person you are to meet is more particular than you are.” She blushed. Just then a young man got off the train and he gave her a look that left no doubt about his own particularity and she returned the look with eyes so brimming over with joy that there was no doubt about her being very particular, too. The reporter understood and it was all right. We remember that in the years of the long, long ago, we had it just as bad and wfe were just as shy and we knew that she did not expect to be interpreted literally when she said, “Not in particular.”
