As for the young man that is coming home to see his girl, you simply can't kill him. Achilles was a summer rose compared with him. Nature and mankind have not sufficient materials in hand as yet to kill that man. Science has but the strength of a puling babe against his invulnerability. AS FOR THE YOUNG MAN THAT IS COMING HOME TO SEE HIS GIRL YOU SIMPLY CANNOT KILL HIM ACHILLES WAS A SUMMER ROSE COMPARED WITH HIM NATURE AND MANKIND HAVE NOT SUFFICIENT MATERIALS IN HAND AS TO KILL THAT MAN SCIENCE HAS BUT THE STRENGTH OF PULLING BABE AGAINST HIS INVULNERABILITY
p she crops again, as fresh as paint. It is really most annoying. For ourselves, were we the husband of a stage adventuress we should never, after what we have seen of the species, feel quite justified in believing her to be dead unless we had killed and buried her ourselves; and even then we should be more easy in our minds if we could arrange to sit on her grave for a week or so afterward. These women are so artful! But it is not only the adventuress who will persist in coming to life again every time she is slaughtered. They all do it on the stage. They are all so unreliable in this respect. It must be most disheartening to the murderers. And then, again, it is something extraordinary, when you come to think of it, what a tremendous amount of killing some of them can stand and still come up smiling in the next act, not a penny the worse for it. They get stabbed, and shot, and thrown over precipices thousands of feet high and, bless you, it does them good--it is like a tonic to them. ON THEIR NEW HONEYMOON UP SHE CROPS AGAIN AS FRESH AS PAINT IT REALLY IS MOST ANNOYING FOR OURSELVES WERE WE THE HUSBAND OF THE STAGE ADVENTURESS WE SHOULD NEVER AFTER WHAT WE HAVE SEEN OF THE SPECIES FEEL QUITE SO JUSTIFIED IN BELIEVING HER TO BE DEAD UNLESS WE HAD KILLED HER AND BURIED HER OURSELVES EVEN THEN WE SHOULD BE MORE EASY IN OUR MINDS IF WE COULD ARRANGE TO SIT ON HER GRAVE FOR A WEEK OR SO AFTERWARDS THESE WOMEN ARE SO ARTFUL BUT IT IS NOT ONLY THE ADVENTURESS WHO WILL PERSIST IN COMING TO LIFE AGAIN EVERY TIME SHE IS SLAUGHTERED THEY ALL DO IT ON THE STAGE THEY ARE ALL SO UNRELIABLE IN THIS RESPECT IT MUST BE MOST DISHEARTENING TO THE MURDERERS AND THEN AGAIN IT IS SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY WHEN YOU COME TO THINK OF IT WHAT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF KILLING SOME OF THEM CAN STAND AND STILL COME UP SMILING IN THE NEXT ACT NOT A PENNY WORSE FOR IT THEY GET STABBED AND SHOT AND THROWN OVER PRECIPICES THOUSANDS OF FEET HIGH AND BLESS YOU IT DOES THEM GOOD IT'S LIKE A TONIC TO THEM
