Caught with the Goods.

The man and his wife, or perhaps
it might be more proper these days
to say the lady and her husband, had
been having one of those cute little
breakfast table chats wherein hus-
band and wife twit each other about
their relatives and get very personal
in their observations. These things
happen in the best regulated families
occasionally.
The argument had grown heated
and had reached the point where the
wife usually makes up her mind to
go home to mother when the tele-
phone bell rang. The wife answered
the telephone. A sweet voice asked
over the phone:
Are you having trouble2"
well, of all things!" snapped the
wife in reply. What if we are? IT'S

"Oh, yes, it is some of my business.
Locating trouble is the only thing
do"

change has not heretofore been sug-

duties of the revenue marine were
transferred to the department Of COM
MERGE. and the ships to the navy de-
partment.
Originally, the placing of revenue
cutters under the treasury department
was natural enough. 1t was charged
with preventing smuggling and coli
lecting revenue and the cutters were
intended for that purpose.
For generations past, however, prac-

Of the revenue marine in time OF peace
have been to give aid to ships in dis
