HONEYMOON SURELY AT END
5rute's Retort Proved That the Ar
rows of Cupid Must Have Lost
Their Sharpness.

Sad is it when the brief story of the
honeymoon departs, leaving only the
prospect Of the endless mOnotOBy of
ordinary life ahead.
But that was where the Smiths
stood. Their honeymoon had soon
waned under the stress of modern
life. In fact, Mrs. Smith was already
adopting the policy Of mastery mac
tivfty; even hubby's most loving en-
dearment couldn't get a kind word out
Of her.
The tiff happened on Wednesday.
and lasted till Sunday morning, when
he. attired for his usual stroll, asked
her:
What is for dinner today. my dearT'
His suave voice and winning smile
earned for him a brief retort. The
lady replied with more force than
grace:

" LIZARD FILLMORE, the second

death, was the most commonplace
president even in twenty-year period
when the presidency remained at low

the part which he played-the dummy
of northern trimmers in politics and
of southern traffickers In slaves.
A fable of the day hit off the truth.
The new president must have a car
