HIDES
AT LEAST COULD BLAME WIFE
But Poor Herbert's Feelings Can Only
Be Left to a Merciful I'M
agination.

Herbert had q weeks vacation from
the office for the first time in two
years and he was spending it at home.
Lets do the spring house-clean-
ing" his wife suggested. ITS using
your vacation well. and later on I'd
have to do it, anyway, so let's both
clean the house."
So his first holiday was spent taxi
ing up the carpets. The next day,
when he had finished that back-break-
ing task, she thanked him and gave
him a carpet beaten to use on the
carpets.
And two days later, when that was
done satisfactorily, she told him to
mop and varnish the floors, whitewash
the cellar and polish the furniture.
And on the remaining days of his
vacation he was bullied into painting
the garden fence, moving the lawn
digging up and planting again all the
plants and flowers and laying a ce-
ment walk around the house.
Late in the afternoon Of his last
days freedom from the office work the
landlord called to see them. GOOD
afternoon" he began. II just thought
I'd drop in to tell you that the lady
across the street, seeing you people
cleaning up. smelling soap and new
paint and things, coaNed her husband
to buy this house. They want to
move in next week and will offer you
their old house as alternative accom-
modations. Good day."

Who Controls Back of Seat2

"Say, take your coat off Of my
new hat!"
"My coat isn't on your hat. And
if it is, you can just take your hat
away. My coats going to stay where
it is!'
"You can put your coat On your
lap. I'll call the usher"
That's the way the argument be-
gan between the two women in the
movie theatre. The woman in front
had dropped her coat over the back
of her seat. The woman in back OBJ
jected. because she had parked" her
new spring hat there.
But the question, who owns the
back Of the seattle person who
sits in the seat or the one behind
was left unsettled, because the owner
of the coat moved to another seat

Then the party-save Harry Needles,
who stayed in the grove to keep watch
took Its captives into the cabin.
Three Of them were boys from
eighteen to twenty years OF age. The
other was lanky. bearded Tennes-

young lads had hurt his hand in the
evenings frolic. Blood was dripping
from 1t. The four sat silent and fear
full aad ashamed.
Sarah made tea and put 1t with meat
and milk and doughnuts and bread and
butter on the table for them. Samson
washed and bandaged the boys
wound. The captives ate as If they
were hungry, while the minister went
out to feed his dog. When the men
had finished eating Samson offered
them tobacco. The oldest man filled
his pipe. and lighted it with coal.
Not one Of the captives had said a
word until this tall Tennesseean re-
marked after his pipe was going:
"Thankee, mister. You done been
right good to vi"
"Who told you to come here!" Sam
son demanded,
"Twere man from st. Louis. He
done said you hated the South an
