Uncle Walfe Siort/^-g y/^7T050ri^ A BESETTING SIN 6<T AM sure In my own mind that V * Mr. Grlggings Is drinking," remarkod the landlady In the tone of one who rtewp with alarm. "A man -doesn't have such a red nose unless he Is consuming Intoxicating liquors." -I linrp ranHnn--T have

ed you many times, Mrs. Jiggers. against Jumping to conclusions, which Is your besetting | sin," said the star I boarder. "Many I reputations have I been ruined by I such remarks as I yours. Any phyI slcian will tell I you It Is possible to have« crimson ■ beak and still be beak and still be

a teetotaler. 1 am not on Intimate terms with Mr. Grlggius, although I call at his store now and then to purchase some of his cigars, which are mude of ensilage, lie sells the worst smokes in this town, and should be re- < buked for that, but I'd never suspect him of beiug an inebriate. "He might become one If It happened to rain gin some night, and he hud a barrel under the rainspout, but so long as firewater costs money there Isn't much danger of Mr. Urigglns going astray. He is the most passionately economical man I ever saw. His respect for a penny is abnormal. A week or two ago 1 bought a cigur at his remnant counter, and was . short one cent when 1 paid for it. 1 told him I'd pay the cent the next time I dropped in, -and 1 fully intended to, but I forgot to drop in for- several days. During that period, Mrs. Jiggers, I met him on the street several times, and he boned me for that cent, with tears In his eyes, at every encounter. A man of that character won't waste any money in riotous living, l'ou may paste that in your Sunday bonnet, my dear Mrs., Jigggers, for your guidance when you are trying to size up the caliber of your friends and acquaintances. "I met Mr. Octagon on the street today and. he told me a moving tale illustrating the unwisdom of Jumping to ' conclusions. The other evening when j he stepped onto the front porch to see j If the "newspaper had come, he found a J sample package of snuff, which Jiad j been left there by some immoral tils- j tributor. - "Mr. Octagon had never taken a pinch of snuff in his life, and he was . curious to know what the effects were. Curiosity, 1 may remark Incidentally, - ls another weakness responsible for much trouble and suffering, and I trust you will guard against it hereafter, Mrs. Jiggers. It leads elderly laud- ' ladles to ransack the trunks of their j boarders and read old letters which were not meant for alien eyes. The fact that you are blushing shows that you are not entirely calloused. j "Well, Mr. Octagon put the packet of snuff In his vest pocket and sat ground the fire until his wife left the room on some errand, and then he tore I open the paper and Inhaled a few . grains of the stuff. He says he thought he would sneeze the top of his head off. and dislocate his ears. He whooped and kerchooed until you could have heard him half a mile I away, and then his wife came rushing in. " 'Ebenezer Octagon." said she, 'you p . KO to bed this minute or you'll be down j with pneumonia tomorrow. Don't stop j ti. argue— 1 won't hear a wordl Off: w|th yog ;■ • "Octagon couldn't get In a word, and -t< 'didn't want to very much, being I p -n shamed to have his wife know he was | -experimenting with snuff; so he trun- a, .died off to bed at seven o'clock In the evening, and his wife rubbed goose grease all over his neck and chest and J? piled 5(J0 pounds of blankets on him. .** and made him drink three or four gal- i Ions of yart^ tea that tasted like the ( morning after the Fourth of July, and I he lay there sweating all night, the most miserable man in town, all' hecause his wife possessed the feminine £ weakness for Jumping to conclusions. 'So let us be on our gufird against such mental Infirmities. Mis. Jiggers, > end meanwhile I .would suggest that you replenish the maple sirup pitcher. These pancakes are too dry and dustyJo eat without a lubricant." •>j- — — : A'tTtude of Benevolence. He— Phrenologists locate benevolent* exactly at the top of the head.
