As he left the witness stand, the a.
and s. h. Institution of Marriage held
his head high. disclosing number of
deep scars left by encounters on many
occasions with carelessness. misunder-
standing. jealousy. thoughtlessness. and
selfishness.
Smiled mt Writers.
He paused to smile pityingly at a
group of problem play writer's and sex
story builders. who squirmed in their
chairs; for they interpreted in his smile
the belief that he would never be elimi-
mated from the list of habits Of the hu-
man race.
At the door of the courtroom he saw
the Average Minister. Here was a friend.
a friend who thought benefited by his
being would have been his friend had
there been ordinances against marriage
fees. His fine show of bravery and of
contempt for his enemies vanished. His
eyes became strangely bright He leaned
on the shoulder of the Average Minister
and said:
my very dear friend. tell me Of the
many good things I do"
You preserve the sancitity of the
home" said the Average Minister "You
are the preserver Of mans respect for
woman You have done more to balance

the material COED I have done. Tell me
in how much you are benefited In

In many cases" said the Average
Minister. you must understand that I
have refused fee because the money
was needed by the initiates. The average,
should say. is something between three

The Kind Of Woman . Man Likes.
Men like all kinds Of women. says Rob-
ert Hichens in the July Strand Magazine
There are ugly men who adore beautiful
women, but there are also handsome men
who worship at the shrines of women who
are quite unlike Helen of Troy. Many
good men have loved and will love bad
wcmen. Who has not seen bad men de-
voted to sanity women? On the other
hand. the dwarf Is often captivated by
the large-framed woman whose head ap-
proaches the ceiling. / have known deaf
women beloved by talkative men: lame
women cherished by men who were agile;
stupid women thought sensible. or even
clever, by men who were brilliant; af-
fected women solemnly admired by the
most natural Of men: girls who turned the
heads Of grandfathers, and old women
who lured mere boys to their feet.
Effeminate men often seek NANNY"
women, while the delicate woman who
never leaves the sofa attracts the Nimrod
and the hunter of big game. The man
who does not know God Save the King
when he hears it as often as not marries
the woman who is mad about Wagner"
chooses as his helpmate the devout
woman who visits a district and
teaches in Sunday school,. All Kinds of
women are liked-nay. more. are loved
by men. Why not? For where is the
man who cannot find one woman-if not
two-to think him what he probably
thinks himself. the most perfect man in
the world-until the honeymoon Is wan

10 be liberal at a marriage. Often
have to correct this tendency.
But enough of such things. Let me
tell you of the people 1 meet and of the
funny experiences 1 have undergone"
The Average Minister turned to the a.
ana s. h. Institution of Marriage fol-
consent. But the a. of s. h. Institution
of Marriage had become quiet. and
seemed not to hear. The recital OF
the good he had caused had soothed
him, apparently.
There are the perennial brides and
bridegrooms,'' resumed the Average
Minister. They walk to your altar sew
eral times during their lives. They have
become cynical, usually. by contact with
too many life mates. 1t is strange that
they visit me each time with knees
rather shaky and with hearts full Of
resolve that this shall be the last time.
Some of my children have wanted
what might be termed freak mar.
riages. They wanted to be married al
certain tipe and a particular place
or they wanted pediliar twists given
to your ceremony. Usually I have hu.
mored them; for they mean no harm,
and many times are merely hystericaL
Il married one man upon two occasions.
He said he had no money to pay for the
first ceremony. and asked that ii be
charged to, his accounts. AS 1 knew he
was well-to-do. / did not offer to cancel
the account. Two years later he was
back. This time he had left his money
at home. he said. Again he asked me
to charge it to him. His last wife is
still with him, poor creature. SO I have
not seen him since.
There came to me once a prosperous
young farmer. I married him to his
sweetheart, a buxom lass who never had
seen a city before. by the way. The
young farmer, at the end of the cere-
mony. asked me il I had change for
dollar. Wondering. I said 1 had He
seemed disappointed. but he was bound
not to go halfway during the period Of
his happiness. so he gave me the dollar,
reached for his change. and left in my
nickel! What do you think of that. my

Good Had Been Done.
But the a. and $. h. Institution of Mar
riage was asleep, and he was smiling.
Some good he had done in the world in
spite Of the writers, he was thinking a.

destinies Of the shallowly cynical hu-
mans, closed
The writer's of problem plays and the
sex story builders were approaching.
With a sigh. the Average Minister awak-
ened the a. and S. h. Institution of Mar
rage. VINO. after a start, resumed his
familiar expression OF worry. He arose
and walked toward the writers of prob
lem plays and the sex story builders.
The Ordinary Young Man and the Sweet
Young Thing came slowly down the
shady street. hand in hand. They were
spied by the a. and s. h. Institution Of
Marriage. who darted in their direction.
The writer's of problem plays and the
sex story builders raced after him. They
soon were beside him; for the a. and 8. b.
Of Marriage is very old. Side
by side, they-the a. and 8 h. Institution
Of Marriage and the writers Of problem
plays and the sex story builders-tan
toward the Ordinary Young Man and the
Sweet Young Thing, whose futures would
be nodded by the winner Of the race.

Til the next crop is matured.
Among the products TO be turned

The Cowboys Return


Backward, turn backward, 0 Time, with your
wheels,
Aeroplanes, wagons, and automobiles!
Dress me once more in sombrero that flaps,
Spurs, and a flannel shirt, slicker and chaps;
Put sixshootsr or two in my hand;
Show me a yearling to rope and to brand.
Out where the sagebrush lie dusty and gray
Make me a cowboy again for a day,
Give me a broncho that knows how to dance,
Buckskin of color and wicked of glance,
New to the feeling of brides and bits;
Give me a quirt that will sting where it hits;
Strap on the poncho behind in a roll;
Paes me the lariat, dear to my soul:
Over the trail let me sallop away
Make me . cowboy again for a day.
Thunder of hoofs on the range, as we ride:
Kissing of iron, and smoking of hide:
BELOW of cattle, and snort of cayuse;
Shorthorns from Texas as wild a. the deuce:
Midnight stampedes, and the milling of herds:
fells OF the cowmen, too angry for words;
Right in the thick of it all l would stray
Make me Il cowboy again for a day.
Under the star studded canopy vast.
Campfres, and coffee, and comfort at last
Bacon that sizzles and crisps in the pan,
After the roundup, smells good to a mani:
Stories of ranchers and ~rustlers retold
Over the pipes, Is the embers grow cold
These are the tunes that old memories play.
Make me a cowboy again for y day.
