A Modem Fable (based on facts) “Once upon a time a certain coun­ try boy became enamored of the Belle o f the Village. Now this country boy knew when it came to brains he had the town boys beaten to a frazzle, so after he had arrayed himself in a clean celluloid collar and with a bright silk handkerchief tilted at ex­ actly the right angle from his pock­ et on the “o ff side” he hied himself to the corner grocery where he pur­ chased a sack o f plain mixed candy atid called 011 the fair damsel. Now this fair damsel who had been touted by her good parents to win nothing less than a duke or earl treated the country boy with disdain and a Dr. Cook expression. After fifteen min­ utes o f agony our hero excused him­ self and skated out on the ice. The next night the village cutup, whose mother allowed him to stav out until 9:15 every evening, called on the fair maiden. On account of having a father with a past he compelled him to kick across with enough mazuma to be classed with the spenders. Be­ fore calling he beat it to the Bon Ton where he separated himself from a small portion o f his hank roll in ex­ change for a swell package o f tooth ticklera that would cause any girl to go d affy for j«y. Armed with this powerful incentive he laid siege to the fair maiden, who knew a discrim­ inating taste when she saw one and sh « married the village entnp and they lived together happy ever after­ wards.
