A LAWFUL WIFE.

Hen Pecko has a lawful wife -
who's jawed him through his
married life. She jaws by
night and jaws by day. ands
has no pleasant thing to say.
When Hen arises every morn
day of jawfulness is born,
for Mrs. Pecko plays her part
ana always gets an early start
She hands poor Hen a lawful
shower throughout the lawful
breakfast hour; her jaw. is
certain not to shirk It'll Hen
has left and gone to work.
And when at eve, with tired donna
tbs Henry's lot to journey
home, his wife awaits him on
the sill and starts to jaw
him with a will.
So Henry and his lawful mate
are in far from happy state.
What joy does Mrs. Pecko see.

20 And the Lord spake unto
Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
FL Separate yourselves from
amorg this congregation, that l may
consume them in a moment.
22 And they fell upon their faces,
and said. o God. the God of the
spirits of all flesh. shall one man
sin. anC wilt thou be wroth with all

% And the LORD spake unto
/ Moses, saying.
Fl Speak unto the congregation,
saying. Get you up from about the
tabernacle of Korah. Dathan, and
Abiram.
25 And Moses rose up and went
unto Dathan and Abiram; and the
elders of Israel followed him.
26 And he sp6ke unto tie congre-
CATION. saying. Depart. l pray you,
from the tents of these wicked men,
and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye
ne consumed in all their sins.
27 SO they gat up from the taber-
nacle of Korah. Dathan. and Abiram,
on every side: and Datiian and Abb
ram came out. and stood in the door
of their tents, and their wives, and
their sons, and their little children
IS And Moses said, Hereby We
shall know that the Lord hath sent
me to do all these works; for / have
not done them of mine own mind
30 If these men die the common
death of all men, or If they be visited
after the visitation of all men; then
the Lord hath not mt me.
30 But if the Lord make a new
thing, and the earth open her mouth,
and swallow them up, with all that
apportain unto them. and they go
down quick into the pit; then ye
shall understand that these men
have provoked the Lord.
81 And it came to pass. as he
had made an end Of speaking all
these words, that the ground clave
asunder that was Under them3
80 And the earth opened her
mouth, and swallowed them up, and
their houses, and all the men that

SO They, and all that appertained
to them. went down alive into the
pit, and the earth closed upon them;
and they perfshed from among the

81 And all Israel that were round
about them fed at the cry of them:
for they said, Lest the earth swallow

from the Shipping Board in the

The railroad situation is such
that vessel service between the two
coasts is a great relief to SHIPPERS.
As to the permanence of eXtraordi-
nary demand for cargo space. there
can be little doubt, for 1t will be
years before the railroads will be
able to handle the old volume Of
traffic.
OF cargo from the East to the
West there Is no question. As tn
cargo from West to East, the best
answer, Mr.. Ware says, Is that one

1t Is not the intention Of the

any one concern, but to serve each

Such Is Life
As 1t is Seen
By o. B. JOYFUL

Why does John Blank want 10
change jobs?
Why does Mary Blank want to
change husbands?
! Why does Willie Blank want
new set of toys when the old ones
are not worn out?
Why does Susie Blank want TO
get away from home and go visiting?
Say. did you ever live on the
farm:
Ever notice the way that old COW
used to jump fences.
No pasture was good enough for
her.
That's why the farmer hung a non
jumper yoke round the COWS neck.
Which kept her at home.
why do you suppose the COW
jumped fences?
For the same reason the Blanks
are dissatisfied with what thry'vr
got.
The COW couldn't get il out OF
her head but that tho next pasture
was greener than hers. The grass
! beyond the fence looked moro ten

John Blank learns the same
thing. The job he gets is about
as hard as the one he quit. There
are things about it he doesn't like.
just as there were about the old
job. II just looked better-when
he wasn't near it,
Mrs. John Blank finds out the
second husband has faults. too. She

Willie Blank doesn't have any
more fun playing with his new
toys, once he gets 'em, than he
had with the old ones. Often he
goes back to the old ones.
And Susie Blank always is good
and glad to get back home again.
Sometimes, though, the COW does
find a better pasture by jumping
fence. Bat. even so, did the COW
spend all her time hunting newer
and greener pastures. she'd be a
lean and prohtless COW 10 any
farmer.
Because the COW hasn't as much
brains as one should have II one
