“Babe” Jordan was a farmer’s son, and principally distinguished for his size and his appetite. The latter trait led to many quarrels with his father, and finally he was driven out into the world to shift for himself. He tried to get work in a nearby city, but failed, until his massive proportions came within the range of observation of a restaurant keeper. Then he was employed as an animated sign to testify to the good quality of the eating house. The job suited him exactly, and he probably would have been there to this day had it not been that one of the waiter girls flirted with him. She led poor “Babe” on, finally agreeing to meet him at the church, which he took to be an acceptance of his matrimonial proposal. He found, however, that another man went with her to the church and was married to her. It broke poor “Babe’s” heart and he went back to the farm expecting to die. His father, however, forgave him, and set him to work which made him very unhappy. “Babe” was a good hearted fellow, and he liked the restaurant keeper. He was not one of those men who would leave an employer in the lurch, and although his heart was broken he secured a substitute sandwich man, before he hit the trail for the farm. “Babe’s” intentions were good, but the new living testimonial only held the job a few minutes. The reason was that he was a better “before taking” ad than as an example of the after effects of food. “Babe” never left the farm again, so he does not know how much the restaurant keeper hates him, and he probably never will know, for the restaurant keeper is unaware of his address, although he has tried frequently to find him.
