 What was it? Oh, just one of those April showers that usually bring May flowers. But that was the brides first thought-I'll leave you-diyorce!
 Of course, she knew he would follow her to mothers and bring her back. But the pitcher goes to the well once 700 often. And if the little bride knew of the many crushed lives caused by that once- too-o often when she expected him to know that she didn't mean 1t, but he thought she did, she would be more careful about whirling the knife that might cut them unawares.
 The knife is out of style, anyway. Physicians generally nave supplanted it with the more scientific methods of modern discoveries and are using it only as a last resort. And that is all any knife, marital as well as surgical, should ever be used fora last resort.
 As a protest against the unneeces ssry marital surgery there is a new institution spreading over the country "a Reconciliation Court of Domestic Relations. There are investigations and probation officers and interviewers, and it is a potent challenge to the knife that in Philadelphia, for instance, one

SUGAR IN CANNED GOODS When a grease stain unaccountably appears in the front of ones best suit skirt the following treatment will re- move all traces: Sprinkle powdered French chalk on the stain and hold over hot iron. The heat will melt the grease and the chalk will absorb it. Shake off the chalk and rub the spot lightly with a soft clean cloth.

 DINNER-Bal1ed liver and bacon. plain boiled potatoes, stewed corn (oanned). pickled beets, graham pud- ding, coffee.
 My Own Recipes Most canned vegetables are im- proved if a teaspoonful of sugar is added with the butter, salt and pep per when relocating. If the corn is solid in the can, milk should be added. Heat thoroughly, taking care the corn does not settle to the bottom of the saucepan and scorch.

So for almost a week Unc' Billy lived m Farmer Browns henhouse. Billy would slip out and breakfast on those very eggs.
 So for almost a week Unc' Billy lived in Farmer Browns henhouse and ate the eggs of Mrs Speckles and Mrs Feathertoes and hid in the last nest and shivered as he heard Farmer Browns boy tell what would happen if he caught the one who was stealing those eggs. Sometimes the door wac left open during the day, and Unc' Billy would peep out and wish that he dared to run. But he didn't, for Bowser the Hound was always proving around, and then, again, he was al most sure to be seen by some one.
 At last one day it began to snow It showed all day and it showed all night. Rough Brother North Wind piled it up in great drifts in front of the henhouse door and all along one side of the henhouse. It covered the traps so deep that they couldn't pos sibly catch any one. As soon as the snow stopped falling Unc' Billy began to dig his way up to the top from the very hole by which he had entered the henhouse. He didn't like it. for he doesn't like snow but now was his chance to get away and he meant to make the most of it.

TT SEEMS evident enough to thu
! j critical observer that animals were
made before babies. Atleast dogs and
cats we're. Their frail architecture
their precnrious joints and fastenings
and their general vunerability to child
ish attacks point to an earlier appear
ance in evolution.
Otherwise I am sure dogs and cats
would be 80 designed and executed that
, association with the young Of the human
race would not be so painful and dis
tressing.
For instance, instead Of having ears
that lean away out and literally beg
TO be yanked. dogs would be equipped
with telescope ears which could be
drawn in and kept out of the baby s
reach.
And most assuredly cats would not
have tails If 1t were planned from the
bepinning that cats and babies should
some day be playing together on the
same floor. =.

and absently taking her by the tail he
