MARRIAGE A HARD PROBLEM.
How Long Should Man Wait for Psy.
choIoQical Moment7

Marriage is a never-ceasing prob
lem; 1t Is impossible to tell just when
the moment of extreme regret will
come and the limit of human endur-
ance Will be reached. Down in Mis-
souri, there is a man who has filed
an application for divorce because his
wife called him names" back in 1868
Undoubtedly he has good reason for
MS delaying taking determined meas
ures. Possibly he felt that the psy-
geological moment had not arrived.
Perhaps the enormity of the offense
and the knowledge that the law gives
MIN recourse did not Immediately pre-
sent themselves. And it may be that
the other woman did not come along
until 1905. The average husband is so
considerable and tender-hearted that
he shrinks from complaining of his
domestic lot until the other woman
heaves in sight, and 1t does not take
her long to convince him how absurd
1t is to continue to live with a wife
who called him names thirty-seven
years ago.-Exchange.

Mayor Story. of Atlantic City, was
condemning those Menhaden fisher.
men who dredge the Atlantic at points
illegally near the shore for fish that
is only used for fertilizer. At the
same time the Mayor pointed out the
difficulty of catching and furnishing
these fishermen. He said:
On account of the sinful waste OF
good fish that they cause, we would be
only tooSglad to prosecute these men,
but the means to detect and identify
them are not often at hand. We have
the will but not the power to punish,
We are like the trumpeter in an At.

This man, native Of Germany
was practicing one night trumpet

Louder, louder, said the leader.
And the trumpeter redoubled his
efforts.
Louder, louder
And he put on still more steam.

THE trumpeter banged down his
trumpet and glared at the leader with
eyes that started from their sockets.

Hussine Bear Evidently Did Not

The great performing Russian bear
had escaped from the captivity under

months; but he was finding that liber-

weary hours he had prowled, but moth

Suddenly he gave growl of delight,

some little lady, who was evidently
awaiting the coming of young man.
Bruin did not stop to ponder upon
his good-fortune; he seized her in a
mighty hug. For while she said
nothing; but as he exerted more of his
tremendous strength she murmured:
Il don't think you are quite so
strong as you were, Gerald"
Then once more melancholy settled
upon Bruin. He had done his best;
but the young ladies of this country
were beyond him.
With a roar of despair he retraced
