Mrs, Flatdweller Enllshtens Mr. Flat
dweller en the 8ubJet.
Mrs. Flatdweller has a bad cold;
one of those long, lingering colds; and
lately she has had, to add to her dis
comforts, some coughing spells; and
Mr. Flatdweller has tried to be very
sympathetic; and when he hears
somebody coughing in the flat over
head he says:
"Hello, there's somebody couehlne
upstairs, now."
"Man or woman?" says Mrs. Flat
dweller.
"Man or woman?" repeats Mr. Flat
dweller, 'why, how should I know?'
'And he adds with what is Intended to
be pleasant good humor: "I can't see
through the ceiling and the floor, you
know."
"You don't have to." Mrs. Flat-
dweller says. "I should think you
could tell that by the sound of the
cough; they don't, cough anvthine
at all alike."
"They don't?" says the astoniahprf
Mr. Flatdweller, "what's th differ
ence?" and then says Mrs. Flatdweller:
"Why, one coughs with a man's
voice, and the other coughs with a
woman's voice."
And at that Mr. Flatdweller said
nothing aloud; but he said to himself
tnat that was the first time, he ever
knew that the sex of an unseen
cougher could be told by the sound of

"Land sakes," said a middle-aged
lady with straggling , chin whiskers,
"did you ever see anything so out
rageous?" "It's perfectly scandalous " ad
mitted the stout woman to whom her
remark had been addressed.
"I never saw such brazenness in
all my life."
"I wish I had a horse whip!"
'What fools men are!"
"I supose they think those crea
