SOME MARRIED NEGOTIATIONS.

An easy way TO fatter the average
woman is to tell her that she has a
pair Of inscrutable eyes.
The fellow who brags Il take my
wife with me wherever | go" forgets
10 add that his wife sees to 1t that
he does
Another thing that you live to re.
gret is having told her. during the
cOurtship. that she was far. far too
good for YOU
The woman with unlovely feet con.
siders the girl who goes awarding in
the creek in the country a perfectly
shameless creature
When a woman brags TO her cronies
that her husband is terrihcally jeal-
Gus of her, it's a sure sign that he
has reason 10 be. but isn't.
One Of the penalties III knowing a
lot of women is that they all insist
upon sending you RATS OF picture
postal cards as soon as they travel
as much as nineteen miles away from
home
In the course OF time the married
man wakes up 10 it that the languish.
they say to him ! Dear me- "'i il r eae~
o'thi0 a. ~ al tue really nice men
are married."
Every honest generous chap has his
moments when he sort of surveys his
wife out of the tail of his eye and
SAYS TO himself: ITS a wonder to
me. bjinks. hat the little woman has
been able to put up with me as long
as she has s."
When you spend about fourteen
minutes hooking or buttoning her up
In the back. and then get II wrong. II
adds heap Of hilarity and comfort
to the situation when she says: "Oh.
| might have known that you'd make
a botch OF the job"
Queer isn't II. how persistently she
tries to gouge from you some piece
Of information which II you were fool
ish enough TO reveal II TO her would
make her perfectly miserable?

Caught Both Fish and Snake.

Charles Paul is the toast OF Fl
Wayne amcng fishermen. He was
fishing recently at a small lake near
Lake George. Steuben county, from the
bank because there was no boat
available
Hooking a bass he found IL neces
sary TO play for advantage in shallow
or water TO his right With eyes
glued to his line he did not see a big
blue racer until the snake whirled
itself around his legs and lifted its
head above his belt
With Paul IL was not a question of
fish or snake II was both. Grasping
the snake by the throat with his left
hand he braced his fish rod under his
right arm. while calmly he reached for
knife in his pocket.
Opening 1t with his teeth he cut the
snakes throat and disengaged its
folds from him. Then he resumed his
argument with the bass. Pretty soon
he drew the fish into shallow water
and landed it, He sent the bass to T..
w. Pickett of this city.
The snake measured feet inches.
The bass weighed five pounds
Both snake and fish are on exhibi
ton.
