THE SURPRISE PARTY
M"LD SInglefoot is coins to cele-
brate his golden wedding to
morrow, saia rne assessor; "we are
planning to give him a surprise party,
and would like you to 20 almi?"
"You couldn't drag me there with a
team of govern
ment mules," re
plied the village
patrmrch. "About
the meanest trick
Jou can play a man
i to spring a sur
prise party on him.
Of course the ma
jority of surprise
parties are fakes.

me visitors arrive nt his
abode lie pretends to be immensely
astonished, and says lie never dreamed
ot such a visitation; but the fact that
he is wearing his -Sunday shirt, and
has his hair parted iu the middle,
gives the lie to all his protestations.
"There is no serious objection to a
surprise party when the victim is
warned in advance, although
shown, it encourages skullduggery anil
hypocrisy, for no man can be thor
oughly honest who pretends amaze
ment over a visit he has been plan
ning for.
"But the genuine surprise party Is
an outrage, and people who resort to
It should be severely punished. There's
nothing more humiliating to a self
respecting man than to have a whole
neighborhood blow into his dwelling
when he isn't looking for it.
"When I am at home I sacrifice
everything to personal comfort. I
take off my shoes and collar and neck
tie, and roll up my shirtsleeves and
slip my suspenders down over mv
arms. I don't care how I look if I am
feeling at ease. If I am expecting
