MY HUSBAND AND |
BY JANE PHELPS

Eyes, you can't commence too
early" Neil answered but absent
mindedly. That was the way he was
now. His mind did not seem to be
upon anything 1 said for more than a
moment or two. l longed to beg him
but did not. When he was trying to
float one of his schemes he was inn
patient, nervous. and unlike himself.
There was one thing he had done,
rather left undone since his aunt
came. Not once had I seen him take
a drink. neither had 1 detected it on
his breath. She was absolutely OPP
posed to liquor in any form, and l
knew it would pain her greatly Should
she know that Neil resorted to IL, even
when Worn out nervously; or when
in company with men who habitually
INDUCED.
Then one night he came home more
nearly drunk than 1 ever had seen
him. 1t happened two days before
he had proposed we lunch down town
with him. He had not come home TO
dinner. had not come in until about
midnight. Fortunately his aunt had
just gone to her room. He was noisy
and quarrelsome. l had a bad halt
hour with him. I was so afraid she
would hear him and come down to
see what the matter was. Finally |
got him to bed, and he soon was sleep
ing. l was almost heart-broken.
never had become accustomed to his
taking liquor, even ever so little And
to see him in such a maudlin or
quarrelsome condition was degrading
for him. and for me.
In the morning he had been very
penitent. Had called me good girl
because 1 had kept it from his aunt
and from the servants. And had given
me his solemn promise never to Of
fend to such an extent again.
IF 1 do 1 won't come home" he
had added.
But I far rather you would come
home than to let others see you in
that condition" / returned. 'It is
bad enough for me to know 1t. l
should be ashamed indeed If 1t were
publicly known that you could so far
forget yourself as to drink too much
You max mountains out of mole
hills, Bah. But don't look so serious
l have promised. haven't II"
Yes. dear" But somehow 1 ha dn't
the faith in his promises used to
have. But I wouldn't let him see it.

slider a business proposition.)

attention to sister brings protest from
best girl and vice versa
This same youth has been under
ether eight times and says that the
next time they put him under they
had bettec take out everything they
think will ever have to come cut, be-
cause it IS positively the last chance
they will have.
There has been a great deal of
friendly argument between this cor
poral ami a sergeant, who also lost
the upper section of his nose. The
sergeant was operated on first. and
piece of cartilage taken from his ribs
was slipped into the skin of the nose.
AS described by the artist, 1t slipped
glove. After his operation he claimed
to have the advantage over the cor
poral in the matter of girls because
he had a regular nose.
Now the corporal has also been
given a new nose and the rivalry
wakes keen. His operation was more
complicated than the sergeant's, since
there was no skin in the nose, thus
making it necessary, first, to plant
the cartilage from the rib under the
skin on the forehead. When this had
healed, a pattern of skin was cut and
thrown down into position on the nose
with the cartilage in 1t. AS soon as
this is healed the rough edges will be
trimmed off and he will have a per-
fectly good nose. A glass eye will be
put into the socket of the eye he~iost,
and he will then have q brand new
face, which If not quite so good as
his original one, still will be a very
satisfa Glory substitute.
He has also just received a new leg,
with which he hopes soon to become
well enough acquainted to ''shimmy."
One captain who = was severely
wounded while leading a company Of
tanks, says he has faint recollection
of the chaplain praying over him. and

heard a tale which makes him realize
more fully than before Just how near
ly he came to remaining in France.

DINNER STORIES

Amos J. Cummings and Ernest JAR
rold were once in a pilot boat during
q great storm. The former lay on a
bunk, intently reading. The boat gave
a fearful lurch and careened until it
seemed that she must turn completely
over.
This is awful, Amos!" said Jar
rold. I'm going to put on life pre-
server, for the boat can't stand it
many minutes longeri"
"Oh, keep quiet and let me read,
Mickey" said Cummings, never lifting
his eyes. THE men on this boat draw
a regular salary to keep her afioat."
A captured German major was as
signed to an American soldier to be
taken to the prison camp. Upon
reaching his destination the major
made close observation and refused
to enter. Indignantly remonNrating
that he would not associate with
privates. In an instant the Yank
ripped off the majors epaulets and
replied, You're busted now; get in
there."

The Boy Scout movement is one of
the finest things that ever came into
being for young America. The prin-
ciples for which it stands are sound.
Duty to God and country, loyalty,
courtesy. kindness, obedience, thrift
these are some of the things it
stands for. There is no movement
which is more deserving of the support
of the community than this. The boy
who observes the Scout principles and
law will be a boy worth while. He
will be clean minded and clean bodied.
He will have reverence for the things
that are true. Finally he will be cit
lien worth while. This week is being
observed as Boy Scout week thruout
the country. with the purpose of ex-
tending the activities of the organiza-
fion-of enlarging its approach to
American ooyhood. In the few years
Of its life the Boy Scout movement
has had large growth. Its member
ship now is about 100000. But there
are 100000 boys in the United
States who might be enlisted for the
Boy Scout cause.

Probably his fellow countrymen and
n the world beside are willing to con-
EIDE to President Wilson the best in
tentions and desire to confer a last
ng benefit on humanity in connection
With his efforts to establish league
II nations The president has sue
.eeded in grating the league covenant
INTO the treaty of peace but in so do
ns he has given his consent to peace
terms which violate the cardinal prin-
,ipies of the league. This is notably
rue in relation to the Shantung pen
insula of China. The German lease
OF Kiao Chow was eXtorted from
China on the pretext of compensation
for the Staying of the German ambas-
sador.by the Boxers. Japan drives out
Germany and assumes her rights. "
President Wilson acquiesces in the in
iquity in order to save the league.
Japan's occupancy of Shantung is not
a compromise, but a fragrant breach
of the letter and spirit of the league.
The apology made for the presidents
surrender is that otherwise Japan
would not join the league of nations,
As 1t is. she joins having first shown
that she declines to be bound by one
of it's constituent principles. AS time
passes it grows more and more appar-
ent that the president should have re-
manned at home If he had done so
we probably should have had peace
by this time. True, there would have
been no league covenant, but we might
have obtained a better one later.
