Jones’ Self-Restraint.

She—Mr. Jones, look at that impudent man on the other side of the street He has been following us for the last ten blocks. Jhnes—Why didn’t you tell me so before. I’ll teach the impudent puppy a lesson. Walking boldly across the street Jones says to the man: “Look here, Snip, I am very sorry I’ve not got the money to pay you for that last shit but you ought not to follow me up and dun me when Tin trying to capture that girl. She has got lots of money, and if I succeed you will not only get your money, but also an order for a wedding suit" Snip goes off satisfied. Returning to the young lady Jones says: "I am glad you called my attention to that cowardly scoundrel. I don’t think hfe will ever stare at you again. I had great difficulty in restraining myself. ”-~Tsxas Siftings.
