The passages in Scripture which
command obedience to the law when
we do not like it or it seems to US un-

so to speak, her great and grand
action, only few years ago, being
ignored and forgotten.
The average woman starts in to
tidy up" directly the rest of the
household departs and usually be-
comes so absorbed in her occupation
that, being alone, she will not trouble
to prepare a light lunch for herself, but
simply works straight on until it is
time to get things ready for the home
coming of the family. She tells her
self she can wait and have dinner with
the Others, and naturally is too done
| up" to enjoy it." Men are often
heard complaining of the amount OF
work they do. Why, woman doing
household duties does more work in
week than a grumbling, growing man
can accomplish in lifetime.
In the theatrical profession it doesn't
matter how often lovers quarrel. Be

south of Seattle, was surprised recently

This was a sweet" meeting, no

I have no pain, dear mother, now,
But, o, am so dry;
Connect me with brewery

If any popular song writer wishes to

To many folks it makes no differ
ence whether or not In God We

Have you noticed that men are
being discharged over all the country,
industries of various kinds are retrench-
ing in expenses, that two thousand
men in and near Phoenix, B. c., con-
nected with the mines and smelters of
the Boundary have been laid off, that
railroads are dischrging all unneces-
sary help? Well, many married

There is no such thing as honor
among thieves, save in story books.
Once in while you will find crimi-
nal who will stick by pal, but it is
never because they are in the same
business that he does so, but rather it
is because of some personal affection
that exists between the two men.
They probably would not call it affec-
ton, but it is sort OF liking and reli-

in danger and in the commission of
their crimes, but there is no honor
among thieves, Notwithstanding the old
time phrase, but there is honor among
such people. No thief or criminal will
hesitate, as a rule, to betray another
where it is to his personal advantage to
do so, and provided he is convinced
that his associate will not discover that
he has acted the traitor. A criminal
who thus acts as a stool-pigeon, when
found out, is Stunned by his class ever
afterwards as though he was rattle
snake.
