MATTER OP FACT. Be Tkosckt tke Poor Girl Needed ■ Chance from “the Style to Which She Had Been Accustomed.” He is a young man whose unbounded assurance has ever been his chief characterU When he proceeded to talk to the practical old gentleman about marrying daughter he was evidently prepared for the uaual qU “Do°you think you can support my daughter in the style to which she has been accustomed?” , ... ~ The parent spoke this phrase with the air of a man who tninka he has uttered a poser. The suitor looked him in the eye. “Let’s talk this thing oyer, he said. Do you t mink your daughter is qualified to make a man a good wife? ... “Yes, sir. Her mother and I are both practical people and we have given her a practical education.

Moreover, her abilities with the needle are not confined to fancy work. She s a treasure, and we don’t propose to have any misunderstandings about her future.” “You were asking me if I thought I could support her in the 6tyle to which she has been accustomed.” “I was.” “Well, I could. But I don’t propose to. After she marries me she’s not going to practice three hours a day on any piano nor cook dinners nor take back talk from market people. She’s going to have all the sewing done outside of the house, read what she enjoys, whether it’s Greek or Choctaw, and go to the matinee twice a week.

Wherever I went I could see that I was being pointed out, and such expressions as ‘That's him’’ ‘He's the feller!* greeted my cars. “I began to think that I would be called upon to make a speech, and was thinking up what I could say that would be of interest to them, when a man, a little bit bolder than the rest, approached me, and said: ‘Say, mister, when ar’ ye goin’ ter open up?’ “‘Open up what?’l asked. “ ‘Why,’ said he, ‘ain’t ye the feller what owns the educated hog?’ “I had to admit that I wasn’t, and as soon as that fact became known the attention that I had attracted was gone, and I was only one of the common herd, looking at the big pumpkins and crooked-nosea squashes. “It seems that a party, who looked like me; had exhibited an educated pig the year before, and I had been mistaken for him.”— Detroit Free Press., The Cost of Freeing: Cuba.
