THE REASON. 



I like the man who stands four square 



To every wind that blows ; 

 Who does not dodge and duck his head 



As on his way he goes. 



It is not for his virtues rare, 



Ah, no, 'tis none of that; 

 It is because I like to stand 



And watch him chase his hat. 

 — McLandburgh Wilson in N. Y. Times. 



Wife — I'm sorry to see you come home in 

 such a state as this, Charles. 



Husband — I knew you'd be sorry, Carrie, 

 and that is why I told you not to sit up. — ■
