WHAT VA MEAN MONOTONY?

Well meaning, but densely ignorant,
editorial writer's ever now and again,
bemoan the routine, unexciting, I'M
varied life the farmer leads and wisely
opine that what the rural world needs
is more excitement. more hazard, may
nap, more varied interest.
The wise writers should accomplish
mess of farm chores before break
fast and after supper for few weeks;
they would discover that the rural vo-
cations contain all the hazard and
risk and excitement that is left in bus
mess today
In town the days are about the
same; you catch the same car, or
crank the same flivver, morning and
evening; you dodge just so many taxis
and milk trucks, or miss just so many
hesitating matrons with baby buggies
But in the country it's different. II
you milk a string of eight cows. the
farm average, it is a gold letter day ii
the year that at least one bovine mon
ster doesn't swat you in the eyes witt
her tail, or joggle the pail from be-
tween your legs, or bowl you ovel
without warning.

Why do we laugh when we first glance at our fayorite comic? Our rapid-flre intellect has grasped the point of a subtle joke. we think, but the psychologists tell us we flatter ourselves.
 We- smile at first because of the comic expression on the face of the small dog or mother in-law who looks out at us, or some other detail which may occupy quite subordinate place in what properly speaking, consti- tutes the theme of the drawing.
 Miss l.. J. Martin. in particular, has made a careful study of comic pie lures and their psychological reasons. She found not only that the. total comic effect was greatly enhanced by this initial feeling of amusement, orig mating in minor details, but also that the degree and persistency of the

The Zee was so thick about my home on Sunday morning that felt like an Arctic explorer. , Both Dot and her mother blamed me for my fatherin-law's mishap. Finally, when Dot, for the twentieth time, began to tell me about poor father I broke in by saying:

comic experience was in great part determined by the initiative move nents which the characters in the pic ture Inspired In the onIooker. <
 This is, of course, especially true Of smiles and other expressions on the persons OF animals faces. If eve look at a well-drawn portrait of someone laughing, we are almost sure to laugh in return. n
 Other ridiculous expressions and gestures tend to call forth slight imi- tative movements and thus enhance the comic feeling.
 Political cartoons illustrate these features best because the real point Of the cartoon is generally. d serious matter and the comfp element lies ak together in the expressions and atti- tudes of the persons caricatured.

ed with the murder of his wife's two
children by a former marriage, that
Hudson and his wife had quarreled on
the day before the tragedy This fur
nished the alleged motive for the
crime, the state contends. Testimony
also was introduced tending to show
that the double murder was not com
mitted in the absence of Hudson and
his wife from their home on July l2.
The Hudsons are to be tried sepa-
rately.
Shop Bruno, negro, testified that
on the day before the double killing.
Mrs. Hudson upbraided her husband
for not getting job, as her children
were suffering from hunger. The de
fense objected to the admission of
this evidence on the ground that it
was a privileged communication be-
tween husband and wife. The court
overrulcd the objection.
Sebe Chapman, negro, testified that
he saw Hudson on two occasions
previous to the killing near u lime
sink, accompanied by the children
and carrying gun and an axe. He
said that when he passed the Hudson

murder both doors were closed.
