pK. doing a noble and altruistic thing In
Sj telling how great and wonderful he
-JH Is and permitting you to admire him
TjUj, The Man Who Talkc fc.bout Eilmsell
H has only one topic Himself. But that
jlsH Is Inexhaustible. He never Wearies

JfBl The Man Who Talks About Himself
RYEfl sees all life in terms of his own ego.
The ibrta'nt tHfrig ttf&l hap-
M p' li.-d n- great ar was his buying
SHg a Liberty bond. Talk about the mas-
riH terplecca of literature, and hr hauls
fH out of his pocket a book and reads
jH to you a letter signed by 'o Popull
H that he wrote to some newspaper.
Speak of great artists and he tells 'u
EH that ho pal. ited the house white with

JfJ Cl .v, akin to 'he Man Who Talks

Third among masculine bores is the
LJ Man Who Believes Himself A Humor-
BBU
RHI The most obnoxious form ef him Is
fSml found In what is known as the Village
VSI Cut-up. He is the youth who thinks
I it Is funny to play practical jokes. ar,.
who drops lec cream down young
men s collars, and turns mice loose In
H i ball room, and who achieves his
greati'.st triumphs at weddings, when
B h pins vi'i - reading ' Wo Are A
Bl Bridal Couple Be Good To Us" on the
BJ bags of a couple Just starting out on
BM their honeymoon.
Bj Anything that makes another look
BJ ridiculous, or that embarrasses an-
other, is the viuagp lUt-lilB tufn oi
BJ a Joke, and It Is to escape this pest Of
Bj ' provincial communltlos that many
Bj people move to large cities They fall
Bj from the frying pan Into the f;re, how-
Bj over, for the urban variation of thb
Bj type of bon Is the perpetual torj t
BJ .ler, whose jokes all h ive whickers on
BF them, and who telle you, as a humor-
B ous adventure that has happened to
H himself, the funny Btory you read In
H the morning paper
B The fourth among bores Is the Muri
B Who Trunk- He Is A Fascinator.
Bj He Is generally a sap-headed youth,
H .lo.l o-rlng grandpa that ho
B matt would look at except as a meal j
H ticket, or a purveyor of theatre seats
H r, .V ibly dozens of women have
H ohubbod him and Insulted him. but
H othlng has shaken his faith in his
Bpt he has
B to iiiow handkerchicl and
H j the entire female sex will scramble
for it. He makes love lo everv woman
if he meets, and oaks her if she isn't
K j afraid to trust herself With him, and
mi l she yawns behind her fan and thinks
I J that the only danger she la In Is thu! !
t Df being bored to death.
1 The fifth among bores, and perhaps
the hardest of all to endure. Is the
I Failure Who Knows It All.
Lie has n"ver succeeded himself, but
j he Is a headllner in handing out advice
to others. lie has never been able
to make a living but he can tell the
secretary of the treasury how :j run
the financing of the United states. He
hasn't got Judgment criougn lo make a
.corner grocery a success, but he knows
exactly what should be done about thi
League of Nations, and he spends his
life making people tired telling them
.all abDUl everything
Io yuu qualify In any of these class
1 es of bores.' Think It over.

I Oh, when I get big and have children,
too,
There's one thing that I will never
do
I won't have brothers to tcaso the

And make them mad when they pull
their curls
And laugh at Ihcm when they've got

Ami practice their music an hour a
day;
I I won t have a maid like the one we'vo

But these feathers of Nurse Jane '
ih, well, i guess I'd better start utl
the beginning and tell It all the way
thiough tor you-
One day Uncle Wlggily Longcars,
the bunny rabbli gentleman for whom
Nurse .Jane kept the hollow stump
bungalow, sr,ood on the porch, L'ncle
V. Iggll did, and he asked.
"Do you want rne to do anything for'
you today. Miss Fuzzy Wuazy. I am
t,"ing out to look for a little ,-oi(n-ture,
but I can also attend to an er-r-'
ii 1 1 for vou."
All I neod Is some ooap from the
store I am Kolng to do a little wash-:
mg and I have no soap." answered!
Nurse Jane
' then sonp you shrill have, as much'
ns you need," spoke l'ncle W'igglly In!
his most Jolly, pink nose twinkling
eolce, as he hopped away.
He had not gone very far on his way
to the storo before he saw Dickie
Chip-Chip, the sparrow bo
Dickie, with his slater. Nellie, was
i flitting about In the air. and. every
once In a white the two sparrow bird
children would dart at a white feather
I floating on the wind. They would
Latch the feather In their bills and
then let go of it again, only to dart
alter It once more.
"Well, Dickie, v. hat aro you doing'.'"
e.ked I'neie Wiggilj . pausing on his
way to the store after the soap
"Oh, we are practicing at catching
floating feathers," Neillo anqwered.
"i ou see, L'ncle Wlggily, when we
grow up to be big sparrows and have
to build nests of our own. we II have
tj pick up feathers Often the feath
ers flort In the air. blown by the

fl Ing now we do oomo practice and
Idart after It."
"Nellie Ifl better ut catching them
than I am," chirped Dickie. "But I'm
golnt: to practice haid."
"That's the boy:" cried Uncle V. ig
gily with a jolly laugh, as he hopped
on. It did not lake nlm long to no to
'the otorc and get the soap for Nurse
: Jane.
I ' I hope sh Isn't going to wash your
face with It." laughed the monkey
ije eidle ge ntleman store keeper as he
wrapped the soap up for Uncle W'ig-;Blly-
;'Oh. No Just some clothes. I guess,"
"-illetl the rabbit, and then he went
looking for an adventure. Rut he
i ouldn't seem to find any that day.
"Maybe I'll find one back at my hol

, bonny. 'At any rate. Nurse Jane may
v.. ml her soap. I'll take It to her."
When the bunny rabbit gentleman
reached his hollow stump bungalow
once more he saw Nurse Jnne out In ;
the side ard with some tubs of water
and some piles of clothes.
"Dili you bring the :..i, lgglly?"
called the muskrat lady. I
"1 did:" laughed Cnclo Wlggily.
"Whoop- Je-doodle-do' How Jolly I

it like a baseball at Nurse Jane.
Oh, don't be so cut-up like!" laugh- i
cd the muskrat lady, as sbe ducked
down so tho soap wouldn't hit her I

OS the snap sailed over the tub ot
