TOO MUCH.

He had married rich and beautiful
widow, thus making 1t unnecessary for
him to ever work again. At first he
appeared to be very happy, but be-
fore long his friends began to notice
a look of sadness on his countenance.
He seemed to be gradually sinking
into a state Of melancholia, and one
morning the community was startled
by the announcement that he had ap-
piled for divorce. Then it was that
one of his friends went to him for the
purpose of learning the nature of his
trouble.
Surely" the friend said, you must
be mistaken in your suspicious. Your
wife is one Of the most estimable
women I ever knew. 1t is impossible
for me to believe that she can have
given you any reasonable cause for a
separation. Come. old man, make a
clean breast Of 1t. Perhaps you have
become morbid and fallen into the
habit Of imagining that things are
worse than they are"

but my imagination is not in any way
to blame. prefer not to say any
thing about It."

Then why do you want divorce?"
We'll, / suppose it'll have to come
out, anyhow, so I'll tell you. Her big
brute of son, who is a college ath-
lete, calls me mollycoddle, and, by
George, that's a thing / can't stand
even for the sake of being able to get
along without caring whether I have
job or not."-Chicago Record-H Herald.

Outlook for Sheen.

There is no danger of any person
getting into trouble in predicting that
from now on the sheep is TO be re
turned to its proper place on the
farms. And why not, when 1t makes
far more money out of the grass and
the weeds and the seeds, the roots
the grains, the hay and anything else
fed to 1t than any other kind of ami
NAL we raise, and it does that without
one needing to milk or grind for
them? All that is required is to give
the feed as it comes from the field
only that turnips had better be cut.
Does that not tell, and tell materially,
when the labor saved is considered,
how we can farm, farm well, and cut
clown expensive labor bills?--John
