Troubles Laid to "ln-Law."

The cause Of more than half the
family scraps that are scrapped to q
finish, says an exchange, sis the In
law. A man or woman marries some
one absolutely antagonistic to all the
other members of the family. and
then, putting this person on a pedes-
tai, demands that all shall do her or
his will. For the sake OF courtesy,
often whole family will yield many
points, and gradually the in-law be-
comes more and more insistent, and
so things drift along, always the one
side giving in, until some straw, some
trit1e, will prove the drop too much,
and after that the fracas With the
air cleared, beginning can be made
over again on a basis OF equal rights.
or else all intercourse can cease.
Either way much has been gained"
