My guiding principle throughout the war
has been that relief when needed shoufi
be promptly accepted without reference
TO tho sources from which VI came. The re-

Tho Cause of Her Anger.

"Men are the most brutal creatures"
said the young wife to her feminine
friend.
What makes you think so?"

this afternoon"
What did he do?"
"He came home from the Office, and
in the first place he kissed me, and
"He ought to be asha"-
"Oh, 1t isn't that, Of course, but pret-
ty soon he mentioned casually that he
saw Mrs. Dawkins this afternoon, and
that she had on beautiful new dress.
And then he-what do you suppose he
did?"
II can't guess. What is it?"
Went to talking about something
else"

"Yes, and I'll die before I'll ask him,
but

morning at breakfast and when he said

woman might as we'll talk with Fiji

obtain from him.
And her husband was surprised to
notice that she seemed almost angry
about something or other.

He entered the box, slamming the

instrument in voice that reached
clear around the corner.

A PAIR OF "HlGtiWATERS."
A Good story of the Shortening of Johns
Trousers In Three Jobs.
Recently divine from Chicago lect-
dred before the Congregational club of
Indiana He had about him breezy
delivery, reminiscent of the Windy
| City. What the subject of his lecture
was is not to the point, but it was long
drawn out, and he became conscious Of
the fact, he said, that an audience
might have too much Of good thing,
| like the man who bought pair Of
ready-made trousers that were six in
ches too long. He did not discover
this until he had taken them home and
tried them on. Then he asked his wife
to cut off six inches from the legs. The
wife was about to go to prayer meeting.
"Tm no taller" said she, with toss
of her head, as she crossed the thres-
hold. Il know nothing about shorten
ing trousers" The mans sister and
mother overheard the conversation, and
in their hearts pitied him.
Johns wife don't treat him right"
said the mother while his sister was in
the parlor entertaining a caller. "Ill
Just fix up those trousers" She cut
off six inches and then folded them up
Just as they came from the store, in
tending that he should have pleasant
surprise the next morning.
After the sisters caller was gone she
got to thinking of Johns ungrateful
wife. Poor fellow" said she, Il must
ix those trousers for him." She like
wise cut off six inches, and then rolled
them up again as neatly as when they
came out of the store. etffff -
Now, it happened that Mrs. John was
.ouchoed at the prayer meeting, and On
her way home got to thinking what a
good husband Mr.. John was, how
thoughtful and considerate he had al
ways been. and how he had often sac
rifced his own pleasure and comfort
tor hers, and her heart was smitten
With remdrse.
Il will not sleep this night" said
The, until l have fixed the dear fell

Once again the shears were applied
and six inches more were cut away
from the bottom of the legs. 3
