Mr.. Roberts, who is trying to break
into congress, must be a very unhappy
man, and certainly he has trouble enough
He has three wives. Mr.. Roberts is dis
tinguished because he has all his wives
at once instead of on the tandem system,
like the other congressman. He Is awful
ly bothered, as he does not know which
| wife to take to Washington. Mr. WI,
| the Chinese minister, took his prettiest
| wife, and there was no row. But the
women all over the country are making
such a fuss about Roberts that he ia
| worried to death; he IS so worried that he
| is employing detectives to see how many
| wives the other congressman have got
! in Washington, and when the trouble real.

| anything. A man with three wives ought
| to know thing or two by this time and
have cut his eye teeth If he Is ever going

men could learn lesson from her. She

| she has come to finish the incomplete mis-
sion Of Christ. Nobody but a new woman
of this end Of the century would have
thought of that Mrs Eddy. is certainly
the best In a century of good things She
is the chief cook and bottlewasher Of
the champion fake which announces that

This is the time Of year when women
put up things-iellies. Jams and pickles
Hubby has to put up for them, and later
with them, but woman pu-s them up. But
as man has to cover the outer womsn,
she does what she can for the inner man.
What women can't put up. from jobs to

| There is a movement on foot to do
away with mans choosing and asking
