THIS MAN WANTS WAR.
He Is Extremely Anxious for SOme-
thing to Happen Before Moving
Day Comes Around.

There's one thing about this war bust.
ness, said the man with the indeterminate
mouth, that sort O. consoles me. 1t may
put stop to my wife's annual-moving agi-
tatlon, which always becomes something
fierce as the first of May draws closer. Be.
tween going to war, anywhere or under
any old circumstances, and moving, gimme
war every time! I'm living in hopes that
the thingll break out biggern bunch of
coyotes before May l. When we moved
into the house we're occupying now, my
wife was enthusiastic over it. She called
it the cutest little bijou of wickieup, or
something like that, that she'd ever seen,
and said she'd be perfectly willing to live
and die in suc!, love of little home. But
she's been hedging more or less all winter,
and the other day at dinner she came out
f1at-footedly and made her declaration that
with us 1t was case OF move on May |. 1t
seems that some woman friend of hers down
in the next block had porcelain bathtub
and one or two other confiXin's put in her
house, and VIGOROUSLY showed them to my
wife. My wife went to our landlord and
gave him a bad quarter of an hour, I'll bet,
from what she told me of it, and when he
told her that the porcelain bathtub scheme
would have to follow little later she told
him he could have his old ancient Aztec
house after the first day of May. When we
first moved into. the house we've got now
my wife couldn't talk enough about the
idyllic quietude that reigned in the neighbor-
hood. Now she talks day and night about
the yelling of the kids on the block. She
says they're the noisest mavericks this side
O. the Panhandle, but l never hear 'em.
The bathtub we've got looks all right to me,
but my wife says it's chock full of typhoid
and death, and what she says goes, s'pose.
Now, if this here war'll only get move on
and break out in time, why, l may get
show to pack musket wherever it's goinpSto
happen along with the rest of the gang, and
thereby sneak out of the moving business

milking stools, and 79-cent frosted vases,
