Eyes; it was presented to papa
many years ago by lodge of some
kind that he was presiding
over at the time. | suppose he
used it when he wanted to open the
lodge or call some brother to order"
Speaking of lodges, Miss Lillian,
what do you think of men that
join them and neglect their-er-
wives and all that sort of thingp"
II think they are not doing their
duty, Mr.. Spoonamore."
$50 do 1! We agree exactly
on that. A man who would aban-

you know, to go down town four
or five times week and meet lot
Of other men and go through the
mummery they call initiation, and
smoke cigars and have a good time
why, it isn't right, you know"
The young woman toyed with
the little wooden hammer and said
nothing.
"And that's why | feel bold to
say, Miss Lillian, that ] think you

The kitchen was full of smoke, which
poured out from the oven; ham fat was
swapping over the red-hot covers; the

fallen, sending a shower Of SCOT over
the potatoes. This lining fitted into a
groove on the bottom of the oven, and

lining in spite of Silurah's watchful
care.
This mishap cost Mr.. Arrowshooter
two burned fingers and total loss Of
patience. He went for tools and in the
next half hour he did Job that would
have rejoiced Silurah's heart, for that
stove had been the plague Of her life.
A sadly demoralized man sank into an

he was glad Of place of refuge out

stood on shelf over the stove, while
their owner, tilted back In his chair,
toasted his feet in the oven.
The table was cluttered with dirty
dishes. Piles of crockery and greasy
plates stood as they were left after
hearty meal. Since Mr.. Arrowshooter
had presided over the kettles and pans
unwashed dishes had collected In ever
increasing numbers.
Mr. Arrowshooter was a peculiar
man, with peculiar name which had
been handed down from father TO son
through several generations. He held
peculiar views on woman's work and
woman's sphere. women are FOOLS"
he said. ITO spend SO much time wash.

TIL there's enough to make a Job of 'em,
and right 'em all up the fust rainy

He felt well satisfied with himself on
this particular morning, for having
mentally reviewed disturbance In his
domestic affairs he decided that, since
he had publicly asserted his rights, he
had settled the matter In a manner be.
fitting the dignity of manhood.
To be sure the breakfast was not so
palatable as when "Silury" prepared
the frugal meal, but he "reckoned him
and Sam could get along until Silury
came to her senses. Anyhow he
wouldn't be trod on by no woman, let
alone his own wife, and if she thought
he'd put up with such high falutiu do
ings she'd tackled the wrong man."
With these reflections, he leisurely
glanced over his paper, in serene
state of mind, carefully avoiding the
item in which he was particularly inter
ested When at last he forced himself
to read it, he sprang from his chair In
wrathful CONSERVATION.
Slowly he read aloud:
whereas my wife Silurah Arrowshooter has
left my bed and board win pay no bills OF her
contracting.
"ABIJAH ANoNADAB ARRowsHooTER."
Directly under this insertion was the
following:
"Udrning!!l

turned out in such numbers. The

Miss Chirp piped out; "Do you think
