ct isn't so much the fact that man
goes to the club in the evenings that
makes the trouble out of which the
funny papers copy so much; but what
makes real trouble is when the wife
wants her husband to doll up and
take her some place-to party or a
concert; some place she dotes on and
he loaths-that is when the old ex-
cuses OF business at the office comes
into play, and the man is off to the
club.
The childish simplicity with which
man think their wives believe the bust
ness engagement story, is a joke which
every woman enjoys all to herself.
Anyhow everybody enjoys having
dad around. even If it takes the mayor
and state board Of health and an cpl
demic Of influenza to keep him at
home.

NO PUBLIC

State Health Board Prohibits Them

Not Permitted In
Iowa.

There can be no public sales during
the influenza epidemic, in Iowa, says
DR.. Sumner, secretary of the state
board Of health.
This means that all public farm
sales will have to be postponed while
the order of the state board is in
force. Farm sales which have been
dated already, must not be held until
after the order has been rescinded.
Farm sales are always held in the
open air, but it is the purpose of the
state board to prevent, as much as
possible. all sorts Of public gatherings

men who believe in getting their
moneys worth out of their club dues.
He was talking In cigar store
and he said:

Have you noticed how the gang
looks that used to play whist every
evening? They look worn out and
no place to go. We used to get to
the club about o'clock and quit at
6 o'clock and go home and begin In
the front hall to tell the wife what
a hard day we had at the office, or
the store, and be a mighty good hus-
band until about half past seven.
Then we remarked that we had to
meet a client or customer down
town, and by o'clock we were all
back doubling it on clubs at the same
old table in the club.

whist for four of US somewhere in
Keokuk, how is he going to alibi him
self to his wife about having to at

if they keep that up. they can get

Many Floral Pieces Sent

There was a profuston or MOWERS
sent by his many friends, and several
automobiles were required to carry
them to the cemetery. A squad OF
soldiers from Captain Powelfs drill
company acted as escort to the
hearse and fired the salute at the
grave.
After the services at the home. the
family went separately TO Oakland
cemetery, in automobiles, and there
was no procession to the grave. In
the cemetery, the pallbearers sepa-
rated and stood back as soon as the
body was lowered. and the half dozen
close friends who had gone there
were scattered at a distance from
the immediate family at the grave
where the final service was read by
the minister. There was the strictest
observance of the regulations OF the
board of health regarding people
collecting In groups.

clTrs FIRST AND LAST FALL
JerIeho's Siege and Capture One OF the
Spectacular Stories Of the
Old Testament

On the morning of washington's
birthday Gen. Sir n. II. Allenby's Aus.
tralian troopers rode as conquerors
into little village Of huts. noted geo.
graphically as being the city Of low
est elevation on earth. and IN Biblical
history as being the scene Of the
Promised Land. observes the Mime
npolIs Journal.
In the Canaanite days Jericho was
a fortified city. commanding both the
lower ford OF the Jordan and the route
lending up to the highlands Of Judea.
The story OF Its Siege and capture and
the destruction Of Its population Is one
OF the spectacular stories of the Old
Testament, which contrasts strongly
with Its gentle seizure by Christian
army in year of our Lord thirty-hve
centuries Inter.
According 10 the Old Testament
story. the city was left desolate with
a curse from Joshua upon the man who
should attempt 10 rehuild II. And n
is related that Hlel. the BethelIte who
did rebuild H. lost his two sons In the
construction of the wall as punishment
for his temerlty.
II was at Jericho that Joshua insti-
tuted his campaign OF frightfulness
upon bis enemiesj and II was on the
Jericho road leading up 10 the Judean
highlands that Jesus laid the scene Of
the story Of the Good Samaritan who
gave first aid 20 wounded enemy.
The advance from Joshua 10 Jesus In
the human ideal OF duty toward ones
enemies Is the very measure Of the
spread between the ideals OF Hinden-
burg and Allenby on the same ques-
tion.
This war is fundamentally con-
flct between the ideals OF modern
brotherhood and ancient overlordsbip:
and nowhere IL the contrast more note
worthy than In this little villnge OF
Jericho. where the people today are
safsr In the hands OF their enemies
than they were under the rule Of their |
own people. The world, with the excep- !
tion OF Germany and Turkey. has trav.
eled long way between the two falls
OF Jericho.
