was not a man that was counted hard to suit when he was at home
in Chicago, but he would always feel as though he had got his money's
worth, and go away with pleasanter recollections of Kalamazoo, if she
would kindly take her other hand and draw the other side of her mouth
together, and he would be content to take his ten cents' worth out of
what was left unemployed.

This was too much, and she gave him a terrible look, and returned him
his ten cents, saying, "Do you think, sir, because you are a Chicago

lemonade with the money.

We would not advise any lady whose mouth is small to worry about this
new fashion, and try to enlarge the one nature has given her. Large

seemed to have something on her mind, which she wanted to unfold to him,
and as there were other people in the house where she boarded, it was
suggested that they walk up a hill, into a piece of woods, where they
could talk more freely.

They started out, and a lot of saw mill hands saw them, and immediately
concluded that something was wrong, and after the truly good people had
got into the brush the men followed. How natural it is for bad men to
think there is something wrong, where two persons of the opposite sex
are congregated together. The elder and the schoolma'am went in the
grubs and sat down on a log, and there she unfolded to him her tale of
woe.

It appears that she had violated one of the rules of the church by
dancing, and she felt that she ought to confess, and did confess. She
