hoped would rouse his tenant to
sense Of his obligations He asked him

Where Pooahontas Was Buried.

Gravesend should prove of more
than common interest to any of our
American visitors who happen to pos
sess the historic sense, for its parish
church is believed to contain the re-
mains of the beautiful and i'll fated
American Princess Pocahontas. On
her visit to England in 1916 she was
accorded a most hospitable reception.
Unfortunately. however, she contract
ed smallpox and died on her way back
to Virginia. She was brought ashore
at Gravesend, where she was buried.
The precise place Of sepulture is
matter of dispute among antiquarians,
but st. Georges church claims the
honor. and its parish registry contains

HUMOR OF the DAY
Etiquette For Husbands.

The model husband should learn Es-

The husband of a woman with a
mission should noe drink more than
just enough to produce semi-oblivion.
The husband Of a lady doctor should
not boast of what we" know. He
doesn't know anything: his wife knows
It all
The husband of a suffragette orator
should, if possible. be born deaf and
dumb. If he hasn't this virtue he
should assume 1t.
The husband OF o schoolteacher
should never stay out late at night
without bringing home 0 written ex-
cuSe in the morning.
The husband of the landlady of a
select boarding house should efrace
himself as much as possible. The
guests will be more reconciled to their
own condition if they believe he is
worse off than they are. He should
never answer back" to his wife, as
such conduct has a tendency to tempt
the boarders to do likewise Above
all else, he should avoid being fat,
for that might lead them to suspect
that he was getting bites between
meals. His role should be that of the
clinging vine, pure and simple-especi-
ally simple.-T. P NJ. in Puck.

SEE TIE OTHER spoE.

Here is q three sided boz, painted
upon enc side red. upon anether side
white. upon another side biue.
A man stands at one side ana, see
ing but the one side, says. 1T is paint
ed red"
Another man. looking at the box
from his angle of vision, says ''Eo;
you are mistaken The box is painted
white
A tnird man from his point Of view
says to them: You are both mistaken.
The box is painted blue"
Now
A fourth man walks around the box
and says: You are ali mistaken. The
box is painted red AND white AND
blue And the fourth man is right.
Is 1t not plain that much depends
upon the point of view? And that the
man who sees things from only one
angle is apt to be narrow. provincial.
prejudiced. possibly conceited?
Would that we all, for the good of
the world and for the peace of the
world, might walk entirely around the
truth before we become so insistent
and intolerant.

It shows only one side to us--the

For all we know there may be wo-

Now. the people of Mars-if there
are people there see both sides of the
moon, according as the seasons change.
Is it not therefore plain that the peo-

the moon than we do?
Oftentimes we dispute as we might

there is no other side of the moon.
