“I fear I tcent too strong on that talk about it wasn’t money we were suing for, but the principle \ of the thing.” “Why so?” “The jury saw it in that light, evidently. Gave us eight cents damages.”

Heels Vs. Heads. “I suppose she’s head over heels in love?” “I think it Is a case of heels over head this time. She Is engaged to a tango fiend.” Not Hindering It.

“Cholly, w.hy don’t you let your mustache grow?” “Why don’t I let it? Good heavens, deah boy, I do; but it won’t.”
