A Mans Mother.in-Law.

1t is a mystery which no one has yet
solved, why so many sad jokes are con-
stantly being perpetrated about a
mans mother-in-law. What dread
full crime has the unfortunate woman
committed in providing the man with
his wife that he should bear such an
undying Crude against her?
Now if it was n 1OOmaH'S mother-in-
law who was made the butt of these
jokes there might be q grain of sense
in them; for it is the mans mother
who has it in her power to make life IL
burden to the young wife and not half
try.
AS matter of fact a woman is usu-
ally proud and fond of her son-in-law
if he only gives her the ghost of
chance.
When the young couple first 90 to
housekeeping who is it that comes in
and with her good sense and practical
experience tides them over the rough
placesP
A mans mother-in-law
1t is the woman's mOther-in-law who
is most apt to crjticise, and who exas-
perates the young wife by quoting, all
too freqently, MY son is used to having
things thus and So MY son must
have this or that for his meals" 'Mv
son, with his small income, should
have married prudent, economical
woman" etc.
When the first baby makes it's APP
pearance, as we'll as the successive
ones, who is it that steps in and re-
leves the husband of his weary vgils,
and takes the load of care and worry
of the wife's feeble shoulders, and
keeps the household machinery run
ming smoothly?
The mans mOther-in-law
When he and his wife plan to take
little trip together, who is it comes in
and takes charge of the house and the
children, so that they can peacefully
enjoy their holiday, with the restful
thought, Mother is there and it will
be all light?'
The mans motherin-law
When there is sickness or trouble in
the house, who is the faithful nurse,
the wise counselor, the sympathizing
friend?
The man mother-in-law.
And if, in the course of events, tho
wife dies who is it that usually comes
in and takes care of the children, and |
keeps up the home till the bereaved
husband has time to look around and |
find another wife?
A mans mother-n-law.
And how does he reward her for all
this devotion2
BY making heartless jokes at her ex-
pense, and publishing them for other
men to smoker over!

GilhoolY'S Friend.

Gilhooly, intending to borrow s.
from Hostetter McGinnis, leads up to
the subject by talking about friendship.
Among other things he said:
Solomon says, He who has a friend
has found treasure.
McGinnis. who is no fool, perceives
what Gilhooly rs after and heads him of
by replying;
Il think Solomon got that proverb
upside down. Instead of reading. He
who has friend finds a treasure IL
should be, He who finds treasure has
a friend. There is no friend like money.
1t is mans best friend, and he should
never part with his best friend"

ling up the wrong tube, moves off to
explore some more promising field

The Newest French

But if they object to everything else
new, the French do not object to a new
word. They make new word every
few DAYS. Their last word is .co-
puchic," French for dude. The CO.
puchic is the dandy, the swell Of the
period; he has always been a great per-
son, since the DAYS of Charles TX. and
Henry Trois. Since Beau BrummeII
in England, Pelham, copuchic is tho
latest cry of the "Jeunesse Frapcaise ~
1t is a triumphant successor to be-
care, which was dude last winter. Be-
carro disappeared suddenly and co.
puchic came in. There is now a cafe
copuchic. He is the latest incarnation
of fashion. The etymoloov of this
''pur ct chic" and co il mt in for
euphony.
Thus it expresses absolute perfection
in dress, manners and speech At the
seaside the copuchc was ALWAYS in
white and blue flannel with an Amcri-
can straw hat. This hat is not proper
except with white flannel trousers,
turned up about the ankles No CO.
puchic who respects himself would be
seen at the seashoro with his panta-
looms turned down. In Paris he is, of
course. the swell Of the Champs Ely
sees. He j, very patriotic. Thus we
have the Spanish copuchic, the English,
the Am.rIcan, the French and
the German variety. They all are
alike, however, in their difficulty
of utterance. They speak very slowly
and are very much bored. The SUI
preme distinction is to drawl their SEN
fences, speaking with slightly ironical
intonation-a Jnversation between
copuchics of different sexes, endure a
long time without either having said
anything; they open their lips with
great effort only. They both must
have the air of being greatly gratifed,
and the birth of an idea, gives each
equal pain. 1t is a hard hole for viva
cious French people to play, but thew
are great actors, and thew I'll 20 N be ..o

you will live forever. He practices what he

He sleeps seven and half hours. His health
is perfect His appetite is keen, his brain clear
and his caracity for work remarkable. He is

is genial, fresh, bright and does not age q
