THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

A YOUNG married woman walked into
a grocery store the other day angry
to the roots of her hair. Throwing a
piece of yellow substance on the counter
she shrieked forth to the grocer's clerk
who bad taken refuge behind the coun-
ter:
Here, you swindler, is the soap that
does the washing alone; the soap that
makes wash day a thing of JOY. when
the housewife may sit in her easy chair
and receive callers: the soap that makes
1ather fine enough for a man to shave
with. but which takes out every stain
no matter Of what nature-from the
linen. Here is the SOAP"
II beg your pardon, ma am" began the
clerk.
"Never mind, sir; don't interrupt me. -
broke in the irate bride.
But, ma am" insisted the clerk pick
ing up the piece of yellow stuff the wom-
an had thrown upon the counter. this
isn't soap. this Is cheese"
"Cheese! exclaimed the astonished
woman. "Cheese?"
Eyes. ma'am, your husband bought
three pounds of soap yesterday. and also
three pounds of cheese. This is the
cheese. ma am.
WELL that accounts for the other
thing, Also said the young housekeeper,
becoming milder in temper. That's why
l couldn't get a suds today, and why

have been SO ungrateful to the dear old
uncle and aunt who had done so much
for him. And in his young heart was
being born repentance and love. And
tears streamed down his cheeks he
thought of the grief he was about to
bring to the dear old folk who had been
