CANNOT SEE PERFECTION
Louisville Courier-Journa Is an
Avowed Aenostic Concerning This
Wonderful Man.

Down in Missouri somewhere. &C
rording to the newspapers, there has
been found the perfect man. At least
they say he was perfect because he
never told a lie or spoke a cross word
10 his wife. And her husband declares
his wife is equally perfect But the
Louisville COurier-Journal has doubts.
Al least 1t thinks perfection may have
some drawbacks, for that lively news.
paper comments as follows on the
character ana career of the model OF
human perfection, who recently died
He must have been awfully lonesome.
Every man in town going TO work
cheered and refreshed by the daily
morning spat with his wife must have
Stunned him as a breathing reproach.
Certainly, in view Of the fact that he
could not tell lie, nobody would dare
Invite him to a sociabe little game Of
draw or think OF embarking with him
on bouse of even the most harmless
sort. Then, again, how many thousand
times he must have been held up as
shining light to erring everyday hus-
bands. That in Itself would seem to be
enough to turn every man in the town
against him. He must have picked his
steps In fear and trembling, with the
eyes OF the whole community watching
for the first sign Of a recession from
grace. The married men must have at
tended his funeral with well-dissem-
bled grief and a sigh of relief. The
question that pre-eminsG'iy tGN5 for
al answer however, is: For how
much OF the mans perfection was he
really entitled to credit and how much
was yicarfous? When one considers
that his wife never spoke a cross word
to him and never told him a fb It IS
apparent that there is some room for
speculation-for doubt even. One
wonders whether he would have got
