control That's the easiest thing he
does. Just watch the same man on a
crowded street at the rush hour on a
rainy. slippery day. Watch him try
to make his way up the street against
the mad rush to lunch. Watch him
ward off the point of an umbrella, car
ried like a bayonet, in the hands of
some absent-minded, giggling shop
girl and then get jabbed in the ear
with the tip of a steel umbrella rib
on the other side. Watch him chase

me or mott"
She was right.
John couldn't escape.
He was standing by the window,
shaving himself, having just begun
the operation.
What is it, Maria?" he asked.

And I'm not going to do it any
longer. either! | am going to assert
my rightful prerogative and have
something to say hereafter in the
business affairs OF this household.
Who made you the absolute dictator
of the family? The apostle Paul?
think not, John Dorkins. When Paul
appointed the husband as the boss of
the home he was writing to the
Corinthians I never thought much of
those Corinthian women, anyway.
They were poor coots DO you think
he'd dare to tell the women nova
days to keep silence In the churches
and to learn wisdom from their hus-
bands at home? Not muchl He'd be
on their side. The time has come,
tell you, when women are going to
declare themselves They intend to
have their say whenever there is any
thing to be done What right has the
man of the house, just because he has
a bass voice and wears the trousers,
to set himself up as a grand mogul, or
a car, or a sultan! You call me
your better half in a Joking way, but
it's no ioke I'm the submerged half,
and you know it, ! can't even rise to
a point of order. It's contrary to the
old parliamentary rules established
by st. Paul and adopted by all hus
bands There's going to be another
set of rules adopted, let me tell you.
You are not going to have things all
your own way hereafter! Just as sure
as you live, John Dorkins-"

his face, you talk like a campaign

Then the Young Lions Took Turn at
Amusing Hin.
A negro attached to an African hunt
ing party met with a curious adven-
ture, says an English paper. Wander
ing one day from camp, he surprised
two lion cubs at play and thoughtless-
ly commenced to amuse them. He was
only too successful. The big cubs gam
boiled fearlessly about him and to his
dismay refused to desist when he
wished to leave them.
Realizing the danger to which he
would be exposed should the mother
appear, he began to run, but the cubs
refused to be shaken off and in their
play scratched his legs in fearful
fashion.
That the creatures We're thoroughly
enjoying themselves was evident from
their manifestations Of delight, and
before long their unusual cries brought
a lioness leaping to the spot.
Trembling in every limb, the negro
faced the growing animal. while the
cubs continued to jump up at him.
eager for further caresses. The en-
ragged lionesS moved round uneasily
in circle, man and beast keeping
their eyes steadily on each other. Sew
era times the lioness crouched to
spring, but the man. from fear, never
shifted his gaze.
At length. after what seemed an age,
when the negro was ready to drop
from exhaustion, the animal suddenly
called her cubs away and disappeared
into the surrounding scrub.
