Show Why Du Chaiilu Was a Bachelor. The late Paul du Chillu was on one occasion asked why he had never married. "Well, once upon a time," he answered, without a smile, "an old African king who was very fond of me offered me my choice of 853 women as a wife. 'Your majesty,' I replied, 'if I should marry oneot these beauties beau-ties of yours there would be 852 jealous jeal-ous women here.' 'Well,' replied the king, 'that is easily settled. Take them all. That was a little too strong for me, however, and, as I have never had such a field to choose from since, I am still a bachelor." |
