"I hate to have anybody do me a kindness, knowing I'll be expected to return the favor with Interest in one way or another. When I was a mere boy my eyes were opened to the fact that kind actions are a delusion and a snare. Next door to us there lived an old dame named Mrs. Crimp. . One day he came over to our house with a pair of woolen socks she had knitted I for me. I Suppose an equally good pair could have been bought at the trade palace for fifteen cents, and I wasn't overwhelmed with Joy. My mother, who, with all her Splendid qualities, was an easy mark, and inMined to find good in everything and everybody, was enthusiastic over Mrs. Crimp's generosity. "But even in my infant years I was gifted with the wisdom of the serpent,, and I felt from the first that there was some malevolent scheme in the back-1 ground. "The scheme was soon developed, j Mrs. Crimp had many chores to do.! and she hated to do them herself. There was wood to be carried Into the house, and the cow to be taken care j * of, and a hundred other unprofitable tasks. Every time I'd meet her she'd j. say, "Well, my sweet little boy, with 1 your golden ringlets and sunny smile, j ? how do you like the socks I made youl If you only knew how I worked, so you would have the best socks in town! ' And that reminds me of a little errand I wish you would do for me. Go to 1 llr.

"First and last, Mrs. Jiggers, I put In (1,000 worth of maqpal labor for that woman and my youth was poisoned, and my manhood embittered by It I might bave forgiven ever? thing had the socks been good one.',, but they were atrocious. The heels always worked around to my Insteps and the tops worked down over my shoes. "It has been that way all my life. When a man insists upon doing me a j kindness I look upon him with suspicion. When I was laid up In my room with a broken leg two or three years ago, I had an excellent time. The leg hurt only at Intervals, and I had plenty of novels to read, and nothing to worry over, and I would have enjoyed myself splendidly but for tiresome philanthropists who were determined to sit by my bedside and cheer me up. I didn't need any cheering up, and I tried to convince them j that their visits had the opposite ef- j feet, but they wouldn't take a hint j They sat by my couch of suffering and j told idiotic stories, and bored me almost to death. "Jim Higginbottom was an especial nuisance. That man simply wouldn't; go away as long as there was an excuse for staying. He said his con- J science wouldn't allow him to forsake " the bedside of a suffering friend. At that time I carried some accident insurance. and when my check came Jim _ borrowed half of it and after he got the money he never worried over my " leg any more. And he never returned | any of the money. I don't blame him 1 for that for I make It a rule never to | ^ return borrowed money, but I can't j 1 easily forgive him for boring me so many hours, when I wanted to be g reading." Obeyed Orders.

"I have always thought they were intended for each other, and they should be better a c nounced failure. Every time you see an old maid you turn green with envy, and you have told me a million times that a woman sacrifices her liberty and independence the minute she Inveigles a man to the altar, and vows to love, cherish and protect him. You have said in my presence that the spinster is the only woman who is her own boss. "It doesn't take the ingenuity of a Sherlock Holmes to deduce from your remarks that you consider matrimony a total loss. Why. then, Mrs. Jamesworthy, are you forever trying to beguile your friends into that condition of misery? Of course, you can't explain ; neither can any woman explain. Matchmaking just comes natural to all of you. "When I am locking for all kinds of plain and fancy trouble, Til begin matching up the young men and women of my acquaintance. But not until! I am suffering for an invoice of grief. I I might persuade my friends to Invest | in a western silver mine, or buy patent rights in a revolving churn, but you'll never see Elijah Jamesworthy boosting matrimony in your indiscriminate way. If two young people got married ; through your ring generalship, and i they found that each had drawn a gold j brick, they would hate you as long as they lived, and would always speak of you as an old busybody with a nose too long for legitimate purposes, and they'd make faces at you whenever you met them on the street. "Do you -ever think of your responsibility when you try to boom the orange blossom market? Does it ever occur to you, at such times, that you are rushing in where angels fear to tread? "Now, Just consider Sarah Jane Favorite and Charles Augustus Terwilllger, who will be railroaded to the altar if you have your way. I admit 4-Wa* +Katt mobfl o hontlcnmo nflif tilill lilCJ1 lli U tx V/ U UUUVtOVku V |/v* 'mm Sarah Is a blonde with a pug nose, and Charles Augustus Is a brunette with a nose like a Roman senator. They afford a pleasing contrast But appearances count for little, Mrs. Jaraesworthy, when the real business of married life begins. "Sarah has basked In the lap of luxury all her days, and she has the Idea that money grows on vines like cucumbers. I don't suppose she ever knew what it means to need fifty cents or a dollar. When she wants anything she goes to the store and gets It, and has it charged to her father. If there Is one word In the dictionary she Isn't familiar with,' that word Is retrenchment. "Charles Augustus on the other hand, had hard sledding all through his boyhood. As a result of his experience he has an exaggerated Idea of the value of a kopeck. He 13 tne sort of man who will walk eight miles through a thunderstorm rather than cough up carfare. Whenever he parts with a nickel he has to take a bromoseltzer to steady his nerves. His reverence for money Increases every day, and It will keep on increasing as long as he lives. "Yet you, Mrs. Jamesworthy, In your feeble-minded matchmaking enthusiasm, would use your vote and Influence to join these two people In the holy bonds. Just take the advice of your ewaybacked husband, and let such people work out their owq destinies, and everybody concerned will be happier."
