constable-of the same township, re-
siding on the Aquetong road, PLAYED
parts before Justice of the Peace

dog disappeared, and somebody told
her that Constable Bowden had been
seen going the same direction as the
dog, and the dog didn't return, but
the constable did.
State Game Protectors Warren
t'retz, of Bedminster, and James D.
Geary, of Slatington, attended the
hearing and looked after the consta-
ble's interests on the grounds that
ne was an offlcer whose duty it was
to dispose of wandering dogs if ne
cessary. However, no defense was
necessary; as the only evidence of
fered was the similarity of the course
followed by the dog and by Consta-
BILE Bowden. The ease was dis
missed.
EMr. Bowden, when -seen%atIhis
farm, said that he would be more
particular about following in the
footsteps of dog, hereafter, and is

preceded him across country on the

MATRlMONY NO EASY JOB
Writer Points Out Why Girl Who
Thinks So Is Making One of the
Greatest Mistakes.

/ heard a girl in an elevator the
other day discussing with a sympa-
thizing friend her differences with
foorwalker, Elizabeth Sears writes
in Harper's.
"Aw," she said, 81 don't have to
take any more sass off'n that gink.
Pm goin' to quit here, anyhow. Pm
goin' to be married. No more work
and no more bossing for me-"
Any girl of her mental caliber
who enters the married state is walk
ing right into the hardest job she
can ever hold down in her life, and
totally unequipped for her position.
Inside a year, if she is as poor wife
as she has been shopgirl, there will
be another man hanging around the
corner saloon trying to forget in a
glass of cheap beer the confusion and
the bad food in the fiat at home.
When she .gleefully announced that
she was going to stop work, the
thought of the meals, the cleaning
and the laundry had evidently not
occurred to her. And the floor
walker doesn't live who can hand out
orders like husband. You have to
take them from husband, too, for
you cannot quit your job in matri-
mony as easily as you can in shop.
