A FAMOUS JOKER.

The editor of the Ormond Gazette
News received a call last Monday
from Edwin A. Oliver, editor, chief
owner and joke maker OF the Yonkers
Statesman. When you see a joke
quoted from the Yonkers Statesman,
and that is a very frequent occur
renee, Mr. Oliver should be held re-
sponSible for it But Mr. Oliver talk
ed for an hour soberly and sedately,
never cracking joke until the very
last, when he handed over his card
which was lead pencil sharpened
ready for use and containing these
words: "a joke with a point to it
from Edwin A. Oliver of the Yonkers
Statesman" Mr.. Oliver loves Or
mond and has spent part of every
winter at the Hotel Ormond for the
past five seasons.

Heart toHeart
Ta1ks.
A SILLY WOMAN.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

A Chicago wife is trying to get a di-
vorce on these grounds:
Her husband. she says in her com
plant. does not measure up TO the
standard of heroism so evident in the
leading male figures of novels in size.
grace or daring
Ehieu,
If this woman should succeed on
these allegations. where would the rest
of married mankind appear?
Very few average husbands are able
to measure up to the heroes in the
pages of Meredith. Nicholson and Nc
Cutcheon either as TO size, grace or
daring"
OF course the Chicago wife has
merely read herself into vapid imbe-
cility, but she is nevertheless pro-
nounced type of other women who COM
pare their everyday husbands with the
armored knights who. with caparison-
ed horses and nodding plumes, amble
through the pages Of Booth Tarking
ton and Walter Scott.
Pitiful?
1t is pitiful not only from the side Of
the honest. striving husband. but pitt
full because the woman who pines for
hero in jingling harness is not able
to recognize the real husband hero at
her side.
There is a heroism in doing ones
plain duty that is worth more than a
library of book gallantry.
Looking for heroes?
Many an understood. round shoulder
ed, handwriting husband is living i'm
daily martyrdom for the sake of his
family. And the pathetic part Of it is
nobody. least Of all his family, is able
to see the sacrifice
And scarcely does the victim himself
realize He does not complain and
would laugh at being called a hero.
Heroism?
How is the rescue of a fair maiden
from some high castle tower to be
compared with the daily grind of a de-
voted man toiling like the slave of a
| galley to give his wife position or com
| forts or working himself into his
grave to give his children such an
| education as was denied him when a
boy?
| Romance?
| 1t is the romance of reality!
| Stupid and blind, the woman who
signs for sgrace and daring" in her
husband and who cannot see in his
| daily self abnegation and heroic striy-
ing the beauty and the grace of true
| chivalry.
