Mr.. James Moriarty, in the days Of
his bachelorhood, loudly maintained
that man should be the bead Of the
family Then, when he was 46 years
old. he united his fortunes with those Of
a pleasing widow few years his senior.
1t soon became evident to their friends
that Mrs. Moriarty governed her spouse
with firm and steady hand and that
the days Of his freedom were over.
When he had been married about a
month, he failed to appear one evening
at special meeting of club of which
he had long Lten an active member, and
the next day he was taxed with this abb
sence by his friend, Mr. Herlihy.
"Sure, and why weren't you at the
club last avonin, James?" inquired Mr..
Herliby.
well, man, you see it's jist loika
this" began Mr.. Moriarty shamefaced.
ly. "Me wolfe she"-
IAN what has your wolfe to do wild
it at all?" interrupted Mr.. Herlihy in
apparent amazement. Isn't it yerself
that's always said the man should be
the head of the family, and not the
woife?"
"Yis, Moichael, many's the tonne
DIVE said that same" assented Mr..
Moriarty miserably, "and Oi'll not take
back me wurrds, But niver having
enj'yed the advantages av matrimony,
Oi forgot wan thing. The man may be
the head, but if it's his wolfe is the
neck, Moichael that turns the head, or
kapes it still, Dim thinking these days
it'd be jist as well to be the futl'-
