Dear Madam: Any husband Is an

cause the cost OF living IL higher

weak minded girl to share with him

demned for his wiokedness. But
heaven knows It doesn't cost much
to go out occasionally. and II a
pretty girl Ia kind-hearted enough to
make herself pleasant TO a man for
an evening so that for a time at
least he can forget his troubles,
surely no man would regret one red

There is one phase OF this discus
sion Of the model mate which | APP

but which is thrust upon me by the
number Of readers who make It the

This phase deals with the question
Of headship in the home. The con-

to be that the ideal husband ID a

Five minutes after Harry r. Nolan.
the young member OF the diplomatic
corps appointed TO the legation at Pan
anna. walked out OF the Tombs Court
to-day, freed OF the charge OF abduct-
Ing Marian Mcvickar Foster. the pretty
scotch iissle. from Newport News. De-
tective John Thompson OF oyster Bay
dashed into the court with a warrant
charging Nolan with forgery
Finding that the dapper young man
from Washington had gone. the Oyster
Bay hawkshaw hurried down TO the
City Chamberlain's once, hoping to In
tercept him when he went to collect
the 100 bail which pc put up at the
time Of his arrest on the abduction

Nolan passed two worthless checks, az

Mnngan. who had been concerned In
the abduction charge against Nolan.
There the rural peace officer grew quite
dlsheartened when he discovered that
the saloon keeper complainant. whom
he had told To stick around until Nolan
could he found. had vanished
After waiting for the complaining
witness TO put in an. appearance Dctec-
tive Thompson decided that he had
done his full duty and he wasn't going
to chase Nolan any more. Anyway. he
declared, the warrant called for the ar

Woods serves up the following timely
paragraph anent partridge shooting,
which may seem improbable to some,
but TO old hunters there is nothing
about the paragraph that could by the
widest stretch of imagination be con-
sidered Incredible Some years ago
Hon. N p. Noble shouldered his gun
and left the Mt. View House for a
bird hunt in the pasture near by. He
had not proceeded far before he noted
a partridge standing on little eleva-
ton. Taking careful aim he fired and
the bird disappeared. Thinking that
he would reload before picking up his
game he threw in shell, when, to his
surprise. the partridge he had fired at.
apparently. appeared again on the
knoll. Again he fred again the bird
disappeared and he reloaded to shoot
for the third time. The shooting was
repeated until he had apparently shot
the bird seven times. Then. as the
partridge failed to reappear. he walk
ed over behind the elevation and there
lay seven partridges. 1t would appear
that the flock was walking out in
single file. Being of equal size each
new bird appeared like the first to Mr..

Where Are Morrison,s Pants?

Maine Woods: ="Oh, where are my
wanderings pants, the pants of my
fondest care?". sings James Blaine
Morrison There is a reason for the
Republican candidate for county at
torney trilIing this little ditty, for it
would appear that a pair of his best
trousers has disappeared from the gaze
of mortal man. Some time ago Mr..
Morrison laid the trousers carefully
down in chair on the piazza of a
house in Phillips and since that time
his gaze has not rested on the bifur-
Gated garment. According to the can
didate for the county office the trous-
ers were indeed worthy. He does not
state whether they have stripes or
plaids. but 1t is to b presumed that
they were of handsome pattern. There
fore if you chance to meet a pair OF
pants looking for an owner, remember
the sad loss of Mr.. Morrison.
