Dispositions on Tap.

It would be an enormous advantage to humanity if we could buy or hire dispositions. Millionaires would keep a stock of all kinds-and hang them in a wardrobe as thej r do clothes. When you wanted go to a wedding, for instance, you would go and put the appropriate disposition on with your dress suit. You would have a disposition for all kinds - of occasions, and you could adjust yourself to any circumstauces, jocose or sad. But you would have to be carefuL For instance, if you put on your weddiug disposition to go to a funeral there might be trouble; it would uot be so- bad if you put on your funeral disposition to go to a wedding. People would think you were sad about the girl getting married, as a result of your own experience, if you were married; because she was not marrying you, if you"“were not. It would uot go to a high tea with -your prize-tightiug disposition, either; and it would wrench your high tea disposition to go to go a prize-fight with it. A great many men would not go home and change their disposition alter business any more than they change their clothes. “Tuere, Mary,” a fellow would say to his wile wheu they were settled at the opera. “1 quite forgot to change my disposition, and I have my lawsuit ouo ou. I might as well go home.” •What are you home so early for, Johu?” the auxious wife would remark when her husband came home early in the afternoon. • Got some fellows from Chicago to entertain. Where did you hang my joviai jag the last time 1 came home?” "I hung it out to air. You’ll hud it in the back yard—sfill a little moist. — Han Fruncmco Chronicle.
