HIS SUGGESTION

A Hoosier travelling man had a
hotel room next to one occupied by
two teachers during the recent
teachers convention. He was very
tired and turned in early. But hardly
had he closed his eyes when the two
teachers came in from the evening
session. They discussed it, one of
them particularly being endowed
with voice commonly termed strid-
emit.
Finally they finished with the sub
ject and he, thinking they were
through with conversation for the
night, turned over again and once
more began to think of slumbering.
But after little pause the loud talk
ing began on another theme. namely,
the hard life of teacher. After she
had discussed it from all angles she
said: IF I only knew where l could
succeed l would leave the teaching
profession. Now what could l really
do as well as I can teach school?"
Before the second teacher could
,answer her the long-suffering man
rose to the occasion. Madam" he
shouted through the wall. you could

ARE AMERICAN MEN
TOO GOOD TO WIVES

Why do poor lovers make good
husbands?
It's large and enticing question,
propoudned by Nary Fulton. British
novelist, and thereafter discussed by
her with some interesting American
illusions.
The Englishman, says Mary, is both

ton, lis invariably a foreigner; just
as invariably as the perfect husband
is an Englishman. An Englishman
is the most faithful. and, If he Is
handsome, the most handsome man in
the world.
why does he make such a poor
lover and such a good husband?
Undoubtedly not because of the
superlative beauty. intelligence or
charm of the English wife, for, al
though she may have a sprinkling of
all those qualities. she seldom knows
how to manipulate them to advantage
