AN INCoNsmERATE WIFE.

It may not be considered just the
thing to say so. but my wife annoys
me exceedingly these days I am
sure she has the best intentions in
the world, she always has, and es-
pecially so during house-cleaning
time, but she upsets me dreadfully.
I don't know when have been so
nervous and edge-y.
Just a few minutes ago I was
taking a nap and had just dOzed off
TO sleep when the most Internal
humping and humping from down
in the cellar woke me with a start
OF course it was my wife. 1t always
Is She had taken off the storm doors
and was carrying them down into
the basement and the noise I heard
was her falling down the steps with
the doors. She might at least have
waited until I had finished my nap
before falling down the stairs and
waking me.
Yesterday II was something else.
She pushed all the furniture out into
the yard. including the piano, on
which I had planned to while away
a few hours. Imagine having a
piano taken right out from under
you, so TO speak. 1t is trying, to say
the least But yet she has only the
best Of intentions. I'm sure.
She has other little habits which
upset me dreadfully. often I am
awakened In the middle of the
night from q sound sleep by the
most terrific changing and rafting
down in the cellar. where she has
gone 10 rebuild the fire that has

with the most disturbing noises i'm

back to sleep for 10 or 3 minutes.
She is always doing little things
like that to disturb me and always
with the best Of intentions-that's
why I can never find It in my heart
to scold her.
Just the other day, for example,
she decided the roof needed patch
ing. It had been leaking for several
months. so she told me, although I
hadn't noticed It, and so she got
ladder and climbed up there with
some shingles and a hammer and
nails.
I had dismissed the matter from
my mind and was absorbed in
pleasant little volume Of light verse
when suddenly the maddest pound
ing began directly above me. an al

something clawing and Gathering
down the roof; and then a short
succession Of wild thumps followed
by a dull thud. It seems she had
fallen off the house just
when I was I'm the middle o. the
loveliest sonnet. I couldn't scold her
although 1 was dreadfully provoked
at having been disturbed. as you
can imagine.

and she means WELL but I often wish
she was a trifle more considerate Of
me.
She makes me so nervous,

CHEERFUL SERVICE.

This is the path to glory, this is the
road to fame.
Clean hands after the toll Of day

For he who comes home in honor

And whether the task be mighty
that unto mans lot shall fail
Or one Of the humble duties. or
the prize be great or small.
In the court where all men are test

The great and the low must answer.
at last when l.fes sands are

Not by the gold they gathered and
not by the laurels won,
For the road 20 eternal glory is only
by work well done.
And those whom the world viii

Must spurn all the crooked by-ways

For cheerful and manly service IS

difference for some time in the ordinary daily
life or Kansas City, let say n all Europe

IN limited degFee, this r. true. Kansas City
would not see the desert which Europe had be-
come. Her streets would look the same. Outward
~ she would live a large extent the life
she lives now-and so OF other American cities and
farming regions.
But all America would feel the change keenly.
we would be shocked in every Intellectual and
business fibre. For thing. would be left TO
bea- the banner OF the white race alone save for
some nations which are weak in numbers and
others which are weak in whiteness. We would feel
8 sense OF helplessness in confronting so changed
world To be sure Mr.. Wells says "for some time;"
hut the time would be measured by the lapse
quired for the transmission OF only. We should
be a sick nation. II Europe lost; and in all
probability we should be sick nearly or quite unto
death
In a material sense. we should suffer obvious
evils which everybody would be conscious of.
The main trouble with this country today with
South America, with the whole world is that
are trying 10 get along without Europe Europes
part in our life is largely suspended after
math OF the war. The railways the farmers. the
factories suffering because have in large
measure lost Europe-because IN certain senses.
Europe has become to US, temporarily at least,
desert.
