The Superior Sex.

(By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.)

A man is proud to refer to the temptations he resisted, but gets mad if reminded of those to which he succumbed. Some men never wait on themselves except when they are mad •at their wives. N When a man suffers from insomnia, he wakes up everybody else in the house to prove it." When a married man has a good time he has to deny it. Men say they are not themselves when tempted by anger into betraying what they really are. As soon as a man outgrows a foolish notion and drops it, a younger man comes along and picks it up. When a man talks to guests at his home he tells many things his wife had been trying for weeks to get out of him. It makes no difference how Independent a man is, there are times when he wants some one to "Poor-little-lamb" him. The only time a man has any desire to let his wife know how he's doing financially is when he is losing money. It never surprises a man to be admired, but no man ever lived long enough to know why anyone dislikes him. No man is strictly truthful when with a sympathetic woman, adding two feet to the stature of the giant that attacked him every time he tells the story. When a man is a big talker he has to do a good deal of denying. Even when a man prays for delivery rroin temptation he is telling himself that it isn't going to hurt him to take a look at it. Every man boasts of his self-control though there never was a man who had so much he could hold a lead pencil in his hand without marking with it.
