My son-in-law. Luther Stuckey,

yet, paradoxical as it sounds. he is a
bowling success in his chosen special
ty," related old Oliver Onken. He
sings sQuealing tenor, he can second
the motion all right, and will be as
useful as anybody else to count on
when the cholera breaks out. He
might possibly do well managing a
snail farm. In short, he has never
really accomplished anything except
to work me so adeptly that he Is able
to keep better dressed than / can af-
ford TO, and by that means maintain
a higher standing in the community
than enjoy. Just how he manages
it I do not exactly understand, but
somehow he keeps right on putting
it over me. I cannot kill him, and he
viii not leave. When he broke into
the family I thought 1 was getting a
son-in-law, but now it looks painfully
like my son-in-law has got me. -
