Bill Arp'a Matrimonial Philosophy,


We are having some birthdays now,
for Mrs. Arp and I are both June bugs,
that is to say, am a bug and she is a
butterfly. I reckon. l won't call her a
bug, though she does june around
sometimes when things 20 wrong. She
had birthday last week, and would
tell how old she is if l was sure she
would never be widow. She thinks
would marry again at the drop of a
hat. but declares she wouldn't, and
says something about burnt child
drcading the fire. But she doesn't
mean that, 1 know, and the honest
reason is that she is afraid she could
never find another man like nue.. It
would take her long time to train
another Teller and get him up to any
standard of uxorial docility. A young
man will train. but one over 80 won t
train worth cent, and that is the rea-
son why it is so dangerous for girl of
ambition to marry an old young man
or a widower. The training is on tho
other side then, and she had Just as
we'll surrender to the inevitable.
We had the birthday and gathered
all the children but one. There were
niue of them here and some grand
children and some friends and we had
a good time. l salutcd Mrs. Arp on
her cheek soon in the morning. She
always turns her check to me now, bit
didn't used to by no means. I made
up her bed for her and swept the rooms
and flew around amazing. We had
music and played cards and went a.
fishing and eat spring chickens and
huckleberry pie and talked and the
boys said smart things and told of ex-
ploits and escapes and their mother
and sisters thought they were the
smartest boys in the world. II boy
sneezes, his mother thinks It's smart.
Mrs. Arp thinks her boys are an i'm
provement on the old man, but my am
bition is for girls to be as smart as
their mother. There is no room for
improvement on that line. Not long
ago l went off and was gone a months

or three days, and strutted around With
the same consequential airs had worn
over in Carolina. But they don't last
long at my house. and now l am in my
