Recollection.

The stout man on the back platform
declined to agree with the conductor.
The conductor thought he hadn't paid
his fare. The stout nan was Of the
contrary opinion.
They exchanged harsh words over
the matter.
Il gave you a nickel when got
aboard" said the stout man.
81 haven't taken in nickel on this
trip" said the conductor.
The stout man grew very red. His
hair seemed to bristle.
"Thats just enough of this" he
growlcd. IL don't want to have any
trouble with you. l had trouble with
q conductor once. I'd hate to tell you
what happencd.'
The conductor drew back little and
made no further attempt to collect the
stout mans fare.
But when the stout man was about
to alight from the car at the Pennsyl-
vania crossing the conductors curios-
ity was too much for him.
Say" he asked, what happened
when you had that trouble with the
other CONDUCTOR"
The stout man looked back.

you prefer it. \ man is just a piece Of
soft clay In woman's hands, and
whether he ranks Al or double naught

how she handles him. Yes, that places

poses, and I'm satisfied your Williams

"Your Material Is Mud"
It's UP to YOU. sweetheart, to take the
material you have and make good
husband out of it. Don't expect nor try
to do more than that. Don't attempt to
mold him into a figure of Gabriel toot-
Ing trombone. Don't try to put too
many fine lines in your model. If you
do, the whole blamed thing will come
to pieces, and then, little girl, you can
never, never put it together again.
Just remember that your material is
mud. and mud. even in the hands Of an
expert modeler, has its limitations.
Restrain your ambition to the point of
making good husband, and when you
have accomplished that be satisfied
with keeping him so.

"face the Music"
Dealer.

There are several theories concerning
the origin of the slang phrase Face
the music" 1t is said to have come
from the army. One of the difficulties
in training horses for the military
service was that of getting them to
face the regimental band without cut
ting up rumpus.
Another authority says also that it
is Of military origin, but that it was
applied to soldiers when they were
drummed out to the tune of The
Rogue's March" Still another YER
sion is that it is used by actors behind
the scenes when preparing to 50 on
the stage to face the music literally -

The Most important Point.
In the first place. my dear. you'd bet

OF your gray matter and keep it there
that the most important point in the
making of Il good husband is the max
ing of good wife. That takes time

to say on that side presently It's
the purely physical side you want to
look after first. After he's been fed
let him have his easy chair. his slip
pers and his cigar. Don't keep every
thing so spick and span and shiny and
straight up and down that he's afraid
to sit down anywhere because he
might disarrange Il piece of batten-

solid comfort than he can have any
where else on earth, and you've got
him anchored for keeps.
He Married a Companion.
And yet that isn't everything. For
instance, If you were to fall into the
habit of stroling over to neighbours

and probably would. He married to
get companion, not just housekeep-

when he's at home. He wants you
to sit on the other side of the table by
the fireside; he wants to read to you
or have you read to him: he wants
to gossip with you just like pals; he
wants to tell you of his hopes and
ambitions; he wants you to help him
in his struggle with the world by
your sympathy, your encourage

C~Orwin's Education.

The father of Tom Corwin, the IA
nous Kentucky statesman, orator and
wit, felt that he was too poor to make
a scholar of more than one child of his
large family, and SO the elder brother.
Matthias, was kept at school and
Thomas placed at hard work on the
farm. The breaking of a leg proved q
happy incident in the life Of the bov.
as b enforced confinement gave him
time for devotion to his beloved books.
and he committed a Latin grammar to
memory. Upon his recovery he again
impertuned his father to send him TO
school and, meeting a refusal, deliber-
ately broke his leg the second time that
he might have leisure to study. His
heroic determination to learn resulted
in his being placed in the same instit,,-
tlon attended by his brother. where bis
natural ability and great industry
gathered a thorough knowledge OF the
best English literature and a fair az
quaintance with the Latin classics
