These are grievous shortcom- ings; I’ll have to admit it, even though 1 plead guilty to them myself. But these very failings prove to me that my estimate of William is correct. He's just a man. a plain. ordinary man, but still he is a man. Somehow or other we just can’t make our con- ‘uct jibe with the rules laid down for the pure. the good and the beautiful. and when a woman gets a man whose faults are home grown she‘d better accept them with resignation and thankfulness and then proceed to make virtues of them.

I don’t know what you expected .of Bill, but it seems to me that I have already put it pretty plain to you that whatever it was he would fall considerably short of the mark. being human and a man. And it’s a mighty good thing that he does, too. for woman‘s ideal man won’t fit into the everyday life of this prac- tical age. He’d be run in by the cops before he got a block away from home just on suspicion. He'd be as lone- some as the little l)oy that got lost in the cornfield. Did I ever tell you that story? Remind me of It the next time I'm at home. It's a pretty good story. but just now I’ve got.some things to say that will be hard to keep within the limit of a two cent stamp. You present a pretty big indictment against him. At any rate. I’ve no doubt it looks that way to you. You say that he wants to smoke at home: that he drops various and sundry things, like magazines and cuffs and such. around the house. and that some- times in the evening he even goes so He mongoessojar asto puthiafeetoa thcchairs. charges you make against William in- dicate to me that he loves his home, and when a man manifests an affection for his own fireside you can bet your sweet little life that he has in him the materials that good husbands are made of. Your charges show me that he spends his evenings at home and that he is up in the morning clear headed and ready for business. They show me that there is no nonsense about Billy. He isn‘t one of those fellows who want to embroider violets on the summer clouds. He’s on to his job. He recognizes the fact that the chief object of his existence is to provide bread and oleo and a fewfother things, like stuffed olives and embroidered shirt waists. for you.

And. firstly, as to smoking: Tha I admit, is a fault, but it is one wi so many saving graces that it we y ought to be encouraged by the Society For the Promotion of Domestic Happiness. It is pretty generally ac. cepted that the natural, inborn. innate cussedness of the masculine sex has to have an outlet. a sort of moral or mental safety valve, as it were. to keep it from tearing loose and break- ing up thingsâ€"some of the. Ten Com- mandments, tor instanceâ€"and it is a fact beyond question that a' good cigar or one of its decent substitutes will answer that purpose with less harm to himself and less damage to his surroundings t h a n anything else. You may grant all this and still wonder why he can't do his s m o k i n g a w a y f r 0 11) home. If :'o.y a: college educa- tion is defective, for it failed to teach you some mighty impor- tant thiagsahont the effects of to- bacco on the hu- man system. par- ticularly the hu- man brain. 'l‘aiz- Onâ€" thC curbs-tone en in mojgru- alone tion. its action is at once sedative and stimulating. It promotes digestion. quiets the nerves. and while it tramiuillizes the mind it doesn’t deaden it. On the contrary. its mental effect is. that of oil on a squeaky axle. It makes the wheels run easier and at the same time faster. A Man’s Physical Comforts. A good dinner, a comfortable chair. the company of a sympathetic and lov- ing wife and a fragrant Havana make a combination that will carry a man about as near to heaven as he can get on this side of the Jordan. It brings out all that is good in him. removes the worries of the day. straightens out the wrinkles in his brain. makes him more amiable, a pleasanter companion. a better husband. Leave out the cigar, and the cares of business are likely to stay with him; he is grumpy and irri- table. ready to quarrel at the drop of the hat and about as entertaining as a lobster salad in the throes of digestion. If you make him go out and sit on the curbstone alone while he takes his after dinner smoke the effect is morally and physically bad, and the first thing you know he‘ll be chasing off to some place where he can smoke in comfort. That’s the beginning of the end. It’s a wise woman who lets hgr husband smoke at home. and if my advice has any weight with you you‘ll encourage the habit in Billyâ€"in moderation. mind youâ€"but for goodness’ sake beg him to get a better brand of cigars than the one he gave me as I was leaving home the last time. The other habits that you object to are just failings. and they are so near- ly universal among the wearers of trousers that their absence would in- dicate something radically wrong. I don’t know why it is, and I don’t think the scientific fellows ever tried to exâ€" plain it. though they have wasted their lives in investigating things of much less importance. but the fact remains that few men can be really. truly com- fortable unless they can get their feet ad the floor when they sit down. I have a kind of notion that it‘s one of nature’s methods of equalizing the cir- culation of the blood. Possibly women had the same instinct originally, but ages of cruel repression seem to have effaced it. At any rate. it doesn't ap- pear to worry them. while it does have a pretty considerable to do with the cheerfulness of the other sex. I think I have pointed out to you the imporo tance of making a man comfortable in order to keep him contentedly at home. Well. my dear. pedal elevation is one of the means to that end. I don't suppose you know that Abraham Lin- colnusedtostudy law with his feet on the man- tel/piece. No? Well, he did. and it was one of the surest indi- cations of his greatness. Butl wouldn’t encour age Bill to go that far. It's a‘l right in a bach- elor apartment. but I‘ll admit that it is nei- ther pretty nor believed that good manners and cour- tesy, which come pretty near being the same thing, are just as important at home and a little more so than any- where else. but who dOesn’t look upon the “Handy Manual of Etiquette” as home. .\'or is such an extreme elevr tion necessary to his comfort. A chair will do. any old chair. but don't deny poor William that solace for his even- ing hours. Disorder Is Man’s First Law. You've probably read Somewhere that order is nature’s first law. Some old timer with a reputation for wis- dom to maintain is said to have been reSponsible for it. It may be so. but my experience with nature forces me to doubt. However. that's neither here nor there. The point I want to make is that whether nature has any such an ordinance or not. first or last. it’s doggoned certain that there's no law of that kind in the statute books of man. You notice I don’t say man- THE DURHAM CHRONICLE But one night, when the moon was hidden. the mouse sauntered out in search of food. It was so dark that he did not see the cat. who sat behind a bush watching for him. In less time than it takes me to’write it the cat had seized the poor little trembling mouse. “Now I shall eat you." threat- ened the cat as he put the mouse down on the ground. with one paw on his back that he might not escape. “Very well,” sighed the wise mouse, “but will you first grant me one re- quest?” oughtn't to lay our umbrellas and newspapers and cigar ashes and other belong- ings indiscrim- inately around the house; we oughtn’t to muss things .up so. But, Lord bless you, little girl, we just natural- ly can’t help it. It’s part of the c u s 8 ed 11 e s s that’s in our blood. Bill ain’t any worse than I wonder who raised the rest of us. that window shade} Reason with him, my dear. Show him how much it adds to your work and your worry. Show him how tremen- dously important it is from the femi- nine standpoint that everything should be in its proper place and stand at the proper angle. But go at him gently. Tell him about it when he‘s feeling in a good humor. 'x'e're all aware of this failing, but most of us are apt to bristle up when you come at us too suddenly. Maybe you can educate it out of Bill. I hope so, little girl; I really do. But go slow. It's a big job. You see, my dear. it all comes back to the very first thing I told you. that men ain't much aceount anyhow, and you’ve got to take them pretty much as they come. faults and failings and all, and do the best you can with the material. Your Bill’s a good deal above the average, izut he's just a man, and you can’t hope to make him all that you think he ought to be. If you did so you probably wouldn‘t like the job yourself after you'd finished and got a square look at it.

The cat had watched the little hole in the barn for hours at a time every day, but the wise mouse had watched the cat. and so he had never been caught “Yes.” replied the cat, “I will do that, as it is customary to grant last requests to people who are about to die. “'hat is it?" The Deacon's Philosophy. Deacon Walker philosophizes thus: I overlook lots of things. but here is one fact that hasn’t got away from me. It is a whole lot easier to sit back in the congregation and criticise the sermon than it is to get up in the pulpit and preach a crackerjack yourself. Someo how or other people just can’t get the idea out of their heads that way down at the bottom of every old maid’s trunk is the photograph of the man she could have married. I have noticed that when a girl deliberately bails her hook and goes to fishing for a husâ€" band she is more apt to land a craw- flsh than a black bass “Agamem- non,” said I to one of the members of our church the other day, “aren’t you going to give anything toward the preacher’s salary this year?” “No." he replied very emphatically. “I gave $5 one year and didn’t get a bit more trade trom the members, and I made up my mind that it was simply throw- lng money away.”â€"Kams City Jour- “I have often listened i0 your sing- ing and greatly admired it.
