LIFE A FUNNY ROAD.
Full of Contaries But We All Are
Anxious To Travel 1t.

Man comes into this world with
out his consent and leaves against
his will.
During his stay on earth his time
is spent in one continuous round of
contraries and misunderstanding by
the balance of the species.
In his infancy he is an angel, in
his boyhood he is devil; in his
manhood he is everything from a
lizard up; in his dotage he is fool.
If he raises a family he is a
chump; if he raises a small check he
is a. thief and the law raises the
devil with him.
If he is poor he is a poor manager;
if he is. rich he is dishonest.
If he is in politics he's a CRATER;
if he is out of politics you can't place
him and he is an undesirable citi-
zen.
If he is in church he is hypo-
critic; if he is out of church he is a
sinner and damned.
If he donates to foreign missions
he does it for show; If he does not
he is stingy.
When he first came into the world
everybody wanted to kiss him; be-
fore he goes they all want to kick
him.
If he dies young there was great
future before him; if he lives to a
ripe old age he is simply living to
save funeral expenses.
Life is funny road, but we all
like to travel it just the same.

The Desertion Law.


The Code of Iowa has the follow
ing to say on wife desertion:
Every person who shall, without
good cause. willfully neglect or re-
fuse to maintain or provide for his
wife, she being in a destitute con-
dition, or who shall, without good
cause, abandon his or her legitimate
or legally adopted child or children
under the age of sixteen years, leav-
ing such child or children in des-
titute condition, or shall, without
good cause, willfully neglect or re-
fuse to provide for such child or
children, they being In destitute
condition, shall be deemed guilty of
desertion and, upon conviction, shall
be punished by Imprisonment in the
county Jail for not more than six
months"
The law further says that upon
arrest the husband may be released
upon filing a bond conditioned that
he will properly support and care for
his family. If the husband does not
file this bond he must suffer the
penalty provided by law. This law
is very generally enforced and with
much good result. Marriage to some
people is but a frivolous and slight
affair, instead of serious and SOL
emn affair as it should be. The de-
sertion law should be strictly enforc-
ed all over Iowa.-Ex.
