About Spending Wives
BY
Charles Battell LOOMS

The way wives spend money Ia
something shocking. There isn't a
single literary visitor 10 our shores,
be he from England or France or Ger
many who does not notice Il.
Prof. Sparrowkins was SO convinced
OF II after reading an article on the
subject that when his wife signified
her intention Of going TO the city to
buy some necessary household ar
ticles, he, having a day of, decided to

department store at which they deal,
and before starting out Mrs. Sparrow.
kins told her husband that there was
$40 on deposit.
And how much do YOU intend to
spend?"
"Well, there's the rug that We must
have unless you want visitors to con-
tinue to stub their toes in the old rag
that we have now in the parlor-"
Yes. yes. that's all right. Get a
new rug. Twenty-Five dollars"
Il saw a very decent one for fifteen

"Ah, that's what I like. I'm glad to
see that you are trying to economize.

TIN" said Prof sparrowKins;
wouldn't this be n ;ood time TO get
few books for Christmas presents
for next YEAR, They come cheaper
now"
Mrs, Sparrowkins thought that this
was looking long way ahead,
"Ah. my dear, there Is nothing like
being forehanded. Tut, tut, tut!
Look at that, Gibbons Decline and
Fall OF the Roman Empire for 2l5!
All, that is u bargain! I've always
wanted that"
Mrs. Sparrow kins suggested some
what irrclevantly that the rugs were
upstairs.
"Yes. dear. I know" said Prof. Spar.
rowkins, absent.mindedly, turning
over the leaves OF one OF the volumes.
Look at tho print. And illustrated,
too. believe, my dear, as long as

Here the professor rubbed his
hands IN great delight and walked a
few steps further. where he saw q

MY dear, you have always wanted

we'd better take this one?'
But we have Shakespeare"
Yes. l know. but it's so cumber-

Dear, see that the table linen Is
on this floor. Suppose We go there
now and get the rug afterward."
Prof. Sparrowkins deprecated his
wife's Impotence at this point. I'VE
have all Che afternoon, my dear, and
I don't often come out with you.
Which would you rather have
Shakespeare, or five OF the latest
novels
"Oh. Shakespeare. of course" said
Mrs. Sparrowkins, keenly aware that
she was president of the Bloomington

things to be charged 10 deposit &C
count 4242.
They now started for the napery
department, but on the way they
passed through the cutlery depart
ment and that reminded Prof. Spar
rowkins that he needed new razor.
"A cheap one will do" said he to
the clerk; "one about dollar, with
a rounded edge"
The rounded edges don't come in
cheap styles said the wide-awake
clerk. Now here is 'triple-brand'

years, a strop with each razor, that
was four dollars, but they have been
marxed down TO three just to adver'
tise them, and we have just two left.
A cheap razor wears out. A good
razor never shows any wear whatever.
If you don't like this you can return
It, but a cheap razor is not guaran-
teed and you may be out your dollar
If you get one."
Prof. Sparrowkins was so much I'M
pressed by these words that he imme-
diately brought the razor and was only
prevented from picking up the other
one for Brother Marcus Aurelius" be-
cause his wife had hastily gone after
the tablecloths.
But on his way after her he passed
the sectional book case counter and
the need of three sections Immediately
became so crying that he hurried after
his wife 10 get the transfer card, and
became the proud owner OF three Sec
tons for less than ten dollors, Mrs
Sparrowkins looking on obviously.

They Meant Business.

A Chicago stage manager was tell
ing of amusing incidents OF plumbers
and errors caused by stage fright. In
a romantic play, recently revived, one
OF the minor characters. a dairy maid
comes forward at the end OF recital
of a love romance, and comments as
follows:
Hope filled their youths and whet
ted their love; they plighted their
troth!"
But at one Of the performances the
girl who played the dairy maid was alb
sent without notice. At the last mo-
ment the manager gave the lines to a
shepherdess, who had never had lines
to speak before, and who was ex.
cessively nervous when her cue came
This is what the astonishel audience
heard:
Hope filled their trough and
blighted their love; they whetted their
TOOTH"

Why Not De independent

800 - s'@~F~''~
II seems to me that many people
miss the true SAVIOR Of outdoors BY de-
pending too much on the assistance OF
others. One finds on all sides tales OF
how men go into the wllds and give
themselves over to the enjoyment OF
nature. but somewhow many Of these
stories show plainly that It was not
the sportsman who did things. Too
often the sophisticated reader and out
door man detects the fact that 1t was
the guides skill which brought tho
game in range of the rife. The guide
did the tracking. or he called the
moose. or he pointed out the game for
the hunter to see. Somehow most
trips into the wilds are not declara'
lions OF independence. They are. In
fact, plain statements OF dependence
upon another's skill, anothers knowl-
edge and another's strength. After the
guide has driven the deer TO ones
stand-"To make a long story short,
half an hour passed before George, the
guide, who had come up. finally found
the deer dead" Then when wet leaves

and I still.hunted." and II was the
guide who got the shots. do not de-
cry the value OF guides. though ! never

Spears in Recreation. II one is really
incapable Of getting through the
woods alone, then stick to the guide

meals prepared and dishes washed by
another. But when It comes to the &C.
tual hunting. why not strike out alone
and shoot game without the assistance
of another's eyes. another's ears, and
another's rife, which happens fire.
