THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

Tender-Hearted

“Where’s the man Friday I provid-ed-you .With before I went away?” was one of .the first questions that Miss Belinda’s brother asked her on his return to their country home from an eastern trip. “I’ve taken a lot of satisfaction thinking all the time I was gone that you had a man to relieve you of the hardest work in the garden, but he doesn’t seem to be in evidence anywhere.” Miss Belinda as a rule scorns to’ use slang, but now she cast a reproachful glance at fi’er brother and said: “Ben, don’t you ever dare wish on me again anything resembling that horrid Peter. When I have any hard work to do I’ll hire some one myself to do it, thank you. That man almost gave me nervous prostration.” “He did? Where is he?” “I’m happy to say that 1 don’t know where he is. I gave him a week’s pay and told him to leave at once.” “He must have been pretty trying if you were forced to eject him so violently,” laughed Ben. “What were his particular idiosyncrasies?” “Call them idiotisms. The most objectionable thing about him was the strangely tender heart.” “Why that sounds harmless.” "Perhaps it does. But you don’t know the form his tender-heartedness took. For instance, I told him to put paris green on those choice late potatoes we have been trying this year, and when I went down into the garden after being in town a day or two I found the plants simply riddled by potato bugs. “Peter why didn’t you put on the paris green?" I asked. "‘I hadn’t the heart to kill them poor little bugs,’ he said. ‘They ain’t never done me no harm.’ “ ‘I suppose you wouldn’t kill a fly, either,’ I remarked with some heat. “ ‘Not unless he was buzzing round me peskylike,’ replied Peter, virtuously. ‘I ain’t no hand to take the life of no poor critter without cause.’ “Notwithstanding this declaration of principle, I instructed him to drown old Tabby’s latest batch of kittens, for it seemed the only way to dispose of them, as no one in the neighborhood would accept one as a gift, and we don’t want any more cats around here molesting our' birds. I didn't* wish to be present at the obsequies, so I walked over to the village, and when I returned I asked Peter if he had attended to the matter. "•Yes, Miss Belinda, them poor little kittens are gone,’ he answered solemnly. " ‘Did you drown them in the brook?’ I asked, I suppose from a sort of morbid curiosity. " ‘No, indeed, ma’am. I hadn’t the heart to drown ’em.’ “‘Then what did with them?’ I demanded. “‘I just burled ’em ma’am.’ "Imagine how I felt. I was so indignant that I didn’t dare trust myself to speak." "Then you didn’t chase him away for that?” "No, it vas a day or two later. I saw him walking away from the barn with a dead dove in his hand. “ ‘Why, what’s that? Did somebody shoot a dove?’ I asked Peter, 'thinking immediately that one of- the boys from the summer hotel had been out with an airgun. "'No, ina’arn; it wasn’t shot,’ explained Peter. ‘You know, I had this here dove for a sort of a pet, and it got real tame,-but ftymade such a darned mournful noise I couldn’t stand it. The dove made me feel so bad that I just had to kill it. I’ve got awful tender feelings, so when it was making that mournful noise a few minutes ago I just took it and, wrung its neck.’. "Ben, did you ever hear of anything equal to that?” "I should have thought the complexity of Peter’s character would have interested a student of psychology like yourself,” returned Ben. Miss Belinda cast a withering glance at her brother. "The only thing that interested me in Peter was his departure,” she snapped. Again she found relief for her feelings in slang. “His retreating figure certainly looked good to me,” remarked Miss Belinda.

The Presentation.

’‘There are many motorists,” says a Washington driver, "who cannot speak as fast as they can drive. Indeed, I have noticed that we are, as a rule wretched speakers. In this relation I recall a dinner at an automobile club in Detroit. A well-known automobillst was assigned at this dinner the task of presenting a silver cup to another no less well known. Both had plenty of time to prepare addresses, but the best the presenter could do was to extend the cup and stammer: "‘Here’s the mug.* •The other rose In turn. His speech consisted of: ~ • ‘ls that the mug!’ *

Keeping it Quiet.

Husband—lt’s ruinous! The idea of paying all that money for a little bit of lace. Wife —Mrs. Astorbilt hastwo—or three pieces like that. "But, good lands, the Astorbllts hava millions where I have thousands. Doni you know that?** ~ "Of course I do, but I don’t want the AstorMU know it?

A Galley o’ Fun!

HIS PREFERENCE. ' “A traveling company of more or less merit is going to play Sappho at the Op’ry House tonight, at ten, twenty, and thirty cents admission," remarked the Old Codger, with his usual pessimistlacridity. "But I guess I’ll just stay at home-and smoke in comfort and look at the corset advertisements in the fashion magazines."

THE BEAUX.

Wen, my sister’s got a beau. An’ he comes 'most every night, An* he wants the gas so low That there’s hardly any light! An* Nell likes him lots, I guess, ’Cause she watches on the sly An* takes hours an* hours to dress An* is alius sweet as pie. I must caH him "Mr. Fenn;** An’ NeU calls him “Mister,** too, ’Cept when they’re alone, an* then She keeps gigglin’ at him: "Lew!** But one time I sneaked up near When they thought I wasn’t 'round. An’ I heard her call him “dear” An* a funny kissin’ sound! He can throw a snake-curve ball, An’ can mew an’ bark an’ quack, An’ he doesn't mind at all When I pin things on his back. Often evenin’s when he comes I’m downstairs till after eight While he helps me do my sums, Tho’ Nell fidgets ’cause it’s late. Onct when he was here I said: “Say!’ Why don’t you marry Nell?” An’ they sent me straight to bed 'Fore he had a chance to tell! But I’ll ask again, sometime, ’Cause Miss Sommers wants to know; An’ she says, she’ll bet a dime That he’s only jest a beau!

THE BEST.

Willis —What is the happiest moment of married life? Gillis—When a man throws the pictures of his wife’s relatives out of the family album and fills it up With photographs of his baby Instead.

HONORS.

Customer—l didn’t see as your car won any prize in that race. What are you blowing about? Auto Dealer —Sir! We had a higher percentage of drivers finish alive than any other firm!

HONESTY.

The personage toyed with her lorg nettc. "Have you any children?" sh< asked by way of introduction. The Housewife trembled. Dared she confess the truth, with all there was at stake? And still she could not lie. “Yes!” she-faltered faintly. The Parsonage started, stare 1, and at length burst out laughing. “Your honesty,” she protested, “is in such refreshing contrast with much that 1 encounter that, by way of showing my appreciation, I will accept employment with you, provided, # of course, that I shall have Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays free, with the use of the entire lower part of the house at any time to entertain company." That evening the Housewife, in a hushed voice, told her Husband of her great good fortune. He was deeply affected. “Honesty Is the best policy!" he exclaimed, with glistening eyes.

TRAITOR!

_. Hungry Artist—Ah, see what ! have! I was going to buy an' apple for three cents, but finally persuaded the shopkeeper to sell me two for five. Hungrier Ditto—Base churl! I see that even you, too, have caught the sordid spirit of commercialism!

Hercules was keeping the big stick busy during his famous encounter with the Hydra. But, as you know, every time he struck off one bead, two succeeded it Finally the humor of the situation struck the strong man. "I’m sure giving a correct Imitation of what Charlie Murphy Is doing to New York state!” he chuckled.

EXACTING.

First Summer Girl—Oh! I broke off the engagement! He was so unreasonable! Second Summer Girl—lndeed! First Summer Giri —Oh, yes! Why, ho objected on my going to a moonlight drive with another man!
