Her Pet Names for Him

"Although we've been married now for nearly thirty four years" said the big portly looking man with the chin whiskers, seriously, "my wife and l have never got over our honeymoon. We call each other pet names and all that sort of thing just the same as we did the first six months we were mar ried. I never go into the house that she don't call me 'dearie,' or 'dog,' or 'monkeyface' or some such name as that"
 A Douglas woman chided her hus- band for drinking whisky in hot weath- CT to keep him cool and in cold weather to keep him warm: "Think how inconsistent that is" she said, "to use the same remedy for two such extreme conditions" "That is true" he assented, "and there could not be two things more on extremes than hot, sunshiny day in July, and a cold, drizzly day in November" She ad- mitted the truth of his statements, "Well." he said, triumphantly, "I have seen you use the same umbrella as a remedy for these two extreme con- .ditious."
