Young people, when in the halcyon days
of their courtship are prone to invest each
other with the attributes of angels, and the
closer intimacy of married life reveals the
fact that they are simply human, after all,
having faults and failings that fall In
measure even to the best of u.s. While this
discovery may cause surprise and regret, it
need not result in unhappiness, particularly
if one is of the philosophical turn of mind of
the old lady mentioned i'll the following Incl
dent:
'sWhen my Josiah and me was first mar
ried,' she said, sd an idee that he hadn't
a fault in the world. I wouldn't hear 10
anything but that he was perfect; and he
thought the same of me.
''He just thought, Josiah did, that he'd
drawn one of them impossible prizes in the
lottery of matrimony-a woman without a
fault
''Well, by the time we'd gone through two
or three housekeeping scrapes, ataking up
and putting down carpets and setting up
and tearing down stoves and all that sort of
thing, to say nothing of blue Monday wash
day and toothaches that lasted three days at
4 time-time we'd gone through all that,
Josiah had found out that J. WANT quite al
angel, and I'd discovered that he could do
and say things the saints would skeersely do

The Fall of Man.


Mercifully for the world very few women

nature in which the senses predominant over
Or are perpetually fighting with the soul, so
that an originally noble human being can
sink down to the level of Calypso's swine.
question if even an ordinary wonlan-being
good woman-can realize the state of mind
which results in a mans making some
wretched mesailiance, or sinking under the
unlawful thralldom OF a Cleopatra, an
Aspasia, or Phryne. Such things are, but
most Of us women can hardly comprehend
them. We may, under some extraordinary
self delusion, fall in love with bad man and
cling TO him from duty or tenderness long
after love has departed but we seldom
plunge as a man does, open eyed, into the
nets spread by bad woman, whom he knows
to be a bad woman, and yet cannot help
himself
The story of Samson and nelilah, repeated
age after age among men, is not often told Of
us women. Nor is this common in lesser
forms Of folly or guilt If we sin it is
generally through self deception; but men do
it with their eyes open. remember once at
a dinner party hearing my host piteously

his doctor had prohibited wine. Immedi.

his death his splendid forums had all melted
away, and his wife and children were earn

of that miserable, contemplate cant help

average woman is superior to the average
man it is because she generally can ''help il. ="

HE HAD An OFFSET.
A Michigan Farmers Clear Statement
I'm Csurt.
lIonia Mich } Mail.l

lIonia (Mich.) Maill
A hired man, who has been employed
on farm in this county for several
months, entered suit against his employer
the other day for balance of wages
amounting, as he claims, to $32. The
suit was on trial before the Justice and
it looked at first as if the plaintiff had
clear case. He gave date and figures in
a straightforward way and seemed a
very honest young man.
When the farmer took the stand he
said: 81 claim an offset for that S32.
No man need sue me for what honestly
owe."
"What is your offset?" asked the law
yer.
"He's an unbeliever."
"In what?"
"Why, in the Bible"
"What has that to do with your owing
him 1927"
"It has heap to do with it; I had six
hands in my employ, and we were rush.
ing things when I hired this mau. He
hadn't been with US two days when they
stopped the reaper in the middle of the
forenoon to dispute about Daniel in the
lions den, and in three days we had a
regular knock.down over the whale
swallowing Jonah. The man who run
the mower got to arguing about Samson,
and drove over stump, and damaged
the machine to the tune of SIS, and the
very next day my boy broke his leg
while climbing the fence to hear and see
the row which was started over the
children of Israel going through the Red
Sea. 1t wasn't week before my wife
said she didn't believe Elijah was fed by
the ravens, and hanged if / didn't find

was worth anything, I'd sue him for
$1,000 besides"
