Chinese humorous literature
abounds with reference to henpecked
husbands" said Prof. Herbert Allen
Giles, of the University of Cambridge,
in the closing lecture of his course at
Columbia University. Then he went
on to tell a sample story culled from
this branch of Chinese literature.
Ten henpecked husbands resolved
to form society to resist the imposi-
tions OF their wives" he said. The
ten wives heard of the plan, and while
the meeting for organization was in
progress entered in a body. Nine OF
the rebellious husbands incontinently
bolted, but the tenth one retained his
place, quite unmoved by the frightful
apparition. The ten ladies', merely
smiling contemptuously on the one
man left behind, returned to their
homes satisfied with the success of
their raid. The nine husbands there
upon returned and resolved to make
the heroic tenth the president of the
society. When they went, however,
to inform him of the honor 1t was
found that he had died Of fright.
Women have few privileges that
men have not" continued Prof. Giles.

punishment; no woman can be bam-

1 Oepravity of the Young
z of the Human Race


A fond father says that nowhere is
there to be found as well-deyeloped a
brand of natural depravity as that
which animates a 6-months-old infant,
and he tells this story in confirmation
&C his opinion:
The other evening he was left alone
with his tiny son and heir. The young
ster's mother went to the theater. His
aunt went out also, and so did his
nurse, and the man was left in full pos
session of the field.
About o'clock, with sublime disre-
gard for modern rules, which say babes
must be put upon bed and left 10 go
to sleep by themselves, the father be-
gan to rock his child to sleep. And
he rocked and crooned and walked
steadily from that time until 3.
Then, the infant having finally sue
cumbed to natures sweet restorer," /"
he arose, and, as If walking on eggs,
carried his burden steadily to the bed
room, put it down as gently as pos.
sible, and withdrew. Alas! however,
in closing the door it squeaked bit,
and Mr.. Baby was as wide awake as

ever, and he remained as chirpy as a
17-year locust until his mother came
home at IL.
Next evening-and here's where the
depravity comes in-mother was home
and aunty and all the rest of the fam
lily; so Mr.. Baby went off 70 sleep at 6
o'clock as usual. At he rell out of
bed with a dull thud that went to the
maternal heart like a dagger. But he
didn't even stir. His fond parents
picked him up and carried him to the
light, fearing all sorts Of things. and
then, and not until then, did the young
ster open his eyes and smile cherubic
smile into the anxious faces bending
over him. Then he went off to s.eep
again, none the worse for his acci.
dent
But why" asked the bewildered
man, why will baby who is aroused
by the slightest creaking Of a door
one night, when his mother isn't home
fail to even wake when he falls out
of bed the next?"

The deer are protected for ten months,
and no provision has yet been made
for recompensing the farmers whose

may be eaten by those same deer.
A farmer up in Carritunk Planta-

Inland Fisheries and Game to inquire
what he might do to abate the nuis-
ance of deer who we're consuming his
crops. 1t was not lawful to kill them,
and they would jump any fence that
it was practicable to build. The an
swer from the commission was: THE
only legal thing for you to do is to
scare the deer Oft"
The information didn't seem prom

1t is recalled that few years ago,
some large octahedron crystals we're
found in Barbados which were later
identified as white spinels, which are
frequently unearthed where diamonds
arr, although by themselves. and even
wnen colored, are often very valuable.
The French crown jewels contain a
spinel ruby Of 56z carats, and an
other which was valued at 50,0O0f. in

Humble Bill Collector Gets Best OF

What is known as the Bellevue

with laughter over the retort given
a pretentious young man who is rid
den by a fallacy that his lager-beer
income is sufficient to indulge his
champagne thirst, as it were,. He
manages, by considerable exertion, to
dress the part, but has not yet found
a tailor willing to give him his
clothes. One fashionable outftter
dunned him until his landlady showed
signs of rebellion against answering
the doorbell. He managed to raise
the necessary amount, left word that
the collector should be admitted on
the next visit, and, handing over the
money in exchange for the recelpted
bill, SAID loud enough to be heard
three flights up:
There's your money! And now
will you mind telling me, If you can,
what in the devil your employer
meant by sending you here eighteen

no matter what be the color of the

received more for it than II would
have made had It really been a sap

are considered gems. and De Beers

that they will be found In Martinique

The clink of the ice in the pitcher

there was not sufficient bed clothing,
he pushed the bell Shortly afterward
a colored boy appeared with pitcher

the guest, and he shivered and
whacked himself with his arms TO get

"All right, sah," said the bell boy,
but he insisted on leaving the pitcher
of ice water.
The quilt failed to materalize, and
again he pushed the button, and
again the humorous bell boy came
with another pitcher of Ice water and
placed it on the dresser.
The guest swore softly to himself,
and explained that he did not want
ice water, but quilt.
I'm cold, not thirsty" he said.
Still no quilt, and he jabbed the
button viciously, says the Detroit
