Tke Cadaverous M^n Was Not Appreciated OIJ won't mind my mentioning it perhaps," said the- tall, slim, cadaverous man of middle ago, turning to the young man setting next to him at the lunch counter, "but the salesman at the clothing store negiected to remove the tag from the tail of your coat when you bought it this morning." "I don't know that you need to concern yourself about that tag. sir." said the young man, reddening with auger. "You're welcome," rejoined the other, calmly stirring his coffee. ? "To the best of my knowledge and belief, sir, I didn't thank you." "Oh. that isn't necessary.

'Til be obliged to you if you'll let me alone and attend to your own business, you darned old walking skeleton!" .

Furthermore, for fear it might offend you, I shall say nothing about your making too much noise when you eat. wiping your nose with your napkin or laying : your dead cigar at my elbow, you unmitigated barbarian. What you need is somebody with a good vocabulary to tell you that you're a two legged donkey and an unmannerly boor, with less sense of decency than a? Going, you? Sorry you can't stay to hear rest of it." With a sigh of regret that his well meant endeavor to do good had been so coldly repulsed, the long, lean, elderly man finished his luncheon in silence.?Chicago Tribune.
