One Woman's Work.

Great was the excitement in a GER
tain small town. The local ladies de-
cided to hold an exhibition of woman's
work with a view to providing treat
for wounded soldiers. While the COM
mittee was busily engaged in arranging
the exhibits to the best advantage in
the city hall there came timid knock
at the door.
When the door was opened a
strange-lOoking object entered. 1t was
q man; his face a mass of scratches,
his hair stood out around his head like
fluffy grass, his collar was dangling
loosely behind, and his clothes were
little better than rags.
"Please, I've come" he said simply.
"But-but," stammered the lady Sec
retary, "this is not a museum; it's a
display of specimens of woman's
work"
'"That's all right" he replied defect
edly; "Pm a specimen of woman's
work."-Rehoboth Sunday Herald

VERY LIKE MOST MOTHERS
Mrs. Ripple at First Could See Very
Little in Girl Her Son Had
Chosen for Wife.

Years ago, when the Billows were
Nathaniel Ripple, Mrs. Ripple was try
ing to keep Nathaniel from marrying
Dora. The BilIows didn't think much
of the Ripple family, Claude Callan
writes in Kansas City Star. In fact,
they told Dora that if she took Ma
thaniel she would be marrying be-
meath herself.
Mrs. Ripple didn't know that the
Billows considered themselves better
than the RippleS, so she was not angry
at the family. And she liked Dora.
81 think Dora is a good, sweet
body can look at her and tell she isn't
able to do a days work.
"You can do as you please, but If /
were you l never would marry a deli
cate girl like Dora. l know how much
work woman has to do in a home and
know that Dora Billow can't do 1t.
If you were able to hire help it would
be all right. Your poor old mother
never has had any help, but would be
glad for my sons wives to keep help
If my sons could afford it.
snow, as l said, haven't a word to
say against Dora, but if l were you
and wanted to marry l would find a
girl strong enough to make a good
wife. 1t is nice to be pretty. Your
papa will tell you that / was pretty
when married him, but beauty counts
for very little if a woman is too weak
to do her work.
"Just look at your Cousin Henry's
wife. She is sick half the time, and
that poor boy has to spend every dol
lar he makes. If Nora had been big,
strong woman, who could have helped
him, he would be well fixed today"
After listening to this talk Nathaniel
married Dora and in about a month
his mother visited them. When she
returned home she said to Mr.. Ripple:
81 think Nathaniel married mighty
well. That little girl had all the
clothes on the line when / got there,
and they were as pretty and white as
you ever saw. I said from the very
beginning that Dora would make Ma
thaniel a good wife,"

BILL GIVES GOVERNMENT
EXCESS RENT CHARGED
Representative Ben Johnson Intro
duces Drastic Measure Limit
ing Wartime Charge"

Representative Ben Johnson of Ken
rent profiteering bill on which he has
been working for several weeks. prin-
cipal features of which have previous
ly been described in the Star.
This bill proposes to confiscate as
revenue for the government all
charges for rental which are more
than 10 per cent in excess of normal
pre-war rents
Mr.. Johnson has already asked for
early consideration of this bill by
the House District committee. Chair
man Mapes has been considering pro-
visions of committee bill which he
expects to present in the House in a
few days. The principal feature of the
Mapes bill will probably be the licens-
ing of real estate dealers with pun
ishment clause to revoke their Ii
cneses when they proved to have been
party to rent profiteering.
The Johnson bill provides for the
appointment by the President of two
fair and unbiased assistant assessors,
who. with the assessor of the District.
would constitute a board of three to
administer the act.
These assessors would receive a
salary equal to that of the highest
paid assessors salary.
The bill also provides for the en-
ployment of not to exceed ten clerks
ana inspectors.
The original draft of the johnson
bill created the Office or rent admin
istrator. Mr. Johnson later decided
that the assessors office was the
proper agent to be charged with the
administration of the nti-profiteering
law
