THE PERKINS FAMILY.
Sir. Perkins Makes Philosophy Count
Again.

was that an architect who was
looking at the east side of the house
with you this forenoon" asked Mrs
Perkins as her husband laid down his
evening paper with a yawn-
mo, dear, was the reply. THAT
was a man who wanted to sell me
patent stain for shingles. Why
should an architect be looking at the
east side of our house, either with or
without me?'
Didn't you tell me. three months
ago. that you were going to have a
veranda built on that side early this
spring? I've been expecting every
day for the last week to see the lum-
her come up"
Mr.. Perkins took out his memoran-
dunn book. consulted it for moment
cnd then answered:
ION New Years day of this year
spoke of having a veranda built or
the east side. I agreed with you that
it would add to the looks of the
house. I also agreed that 1t would
be a thing of much convenience.
said I would see to 1t early in the
spring. Now it is as plain as day?''
+'Wel, when is the veranda to be
built2. Isn't this early in the spring p
MY dear Mrs. Perkins. let US bring
logic and philosophy to bear on this
case"
There you go! Ready to dodge
aren't you? You have got it all writ
ten down there, and now you want to
twist and dodge"
BE calm. my dear Try and emu
late my first wife. She was always
calm. When she once tumbled off a
log into Il millpond she was calm
wet but calm. No one can ever do
justice to a matter while laboring I'M
der a state of violent excitement
IF you let two days pass without
finging out that I am your second
wife I should expect something awful
to happen bitterly observed Mrs.
Perkins.
Il simply mentioned the fact 10 illus
trate my argument. She may have been
too calm. just as YOU are TOO eslcitable-
In fact, think size was. One Gay the
roof of a shed fell down On her and
pinned her to thu ground. and rather
than cry out and disturb a deacon and
a widow who were counting next door
she held her breath for over three hculs.
However, We viii turn 10 logic. On New
Years day We has hard cider. Ne had
current wine. We had a quart o. ctawet

evening came our stat; may be descrlb-
Ell as hilarious. Hilarfo'IsneSs is Away 5
followed BY liherdiity of heart. My
heart was bursting to do something
great for you and so 7 promised you
should have the veraada. Uf. that rar-
ticular evening MIS- Perkins, I would

Albert Ross was a very drunk IN

sober one the morning following when
he faced Judge Urmx in the police

a lesson on the cow" She was try

she wanted some bright genius to tell
how the farmer fed the surplus milk to

asked this question:
Now children. after the farmer has
made all the butter and cheese he
needs. and uses what milk he wants
for his family. what does he do with
the milk that still remains ?"
