A woman likes to have her
hus band her master; what she
objects to is his admitting it.
1t is only in fashion pictures
that women really sit down on
the floor to put on their stock
ings.
No woman ever really be-
lieves her husband is brute
unless he persists in telling her
the truth.
One reason you can seldom
tell what woman is driving at
is that when she is going to make
pie crust she sets out to trim the
honey-suckle vines.
When a woman is driving her
husbands favorite horse and of
its own accord it turns in and
stops before another woman's
house it is sign he shouldn't
let her drive it.
Men are foolish about being
Shameless women are shame.
less about being foolish.
There never was woman
who didn't change her accent
after a two weeks stay abroad.
1t is pity people don't get
over their European trips as
quickly as they say they got
over their sea sickness.
If woman is unfaithful to
man she has some excuse for it;
a nan doesn't have any and
doesn't want any.
The only people who are un.
changeably intolerant of GER
tain vices in others are those
who possess them themselves.

+ A question has been raised in
this Office which has been sub
mitted in vain to editor business
m anager, stenographer proof
rea der and Compositor. 1t was
not hunted up and constructed
m erely to furnish debate and
consume time. 1t came right
up of itself out of practical
work. The question is this: In
setting the word succeed" the
compositor omitted letter,
and made it succeed; now was
theOtirst or second &C" that was
omitted? Let people in other
lines of work not hastily con-
clude that they are alone in
meeting troublesome problems
while the rest of the world sails
on in peace. While the Greek
and Roman churches quarrel
over the letter So and while re-
f ormers debate the divine de.
crees. and parties lire up on the
order of precedence between re-
pentance and regeneration, and
Baptists pull apart on pulpit
utilization and some stand aloat
from mission work because its
management is under a Board,
and brethren of another body
are torn up about actual and
formal remission-while all
these profound and may be in
soluble difficulties are torturing
OF hers, we are still facing this
latest of our Office questions.
The practical point is, the proof
reader does not know whether
to put in the omitted &c" be-
fore or after the one now there,
and if he does not know where
to put it in, how can he put it
in? Logically this question is
just as vital as some which
have divided whole commune
ies.-Central Baptist.
