Couldn't Please Her Husband.

Husbands are curious animals. They
have odd tastes and lIkings. Really
their fancles are fickle. Their appetItes
and passions are not easily restrained.
The clerk of any divorce court knows
that. Here was the case the other day
Of the husband who complained be-
cause his wife was taking on too much
figure. He said that she had the waist
Of walrus and could wear a meal
sack for kimonO. He said that no.
body could love n fat wife.
So the spouse took up the matter of
reducing. She read all the literature
pertaining to the antl-fats. Finally she
got hold Of some powerful dope that
bit into her frame like a buzz saw, She
shed weight as II It were being swept
OFT with u broom. From being fat she
went into reverse English. She be.
came really thin.
All for the love Of a husband.
Now the man Is suing the wife for
divorce. He says that the wife
took drugs and cosmetics that made
her wan and ethereal and that she
lost and forfeited his love in the do
Ing. He doesn't care for any pale
and sickly companion about his home

HIS LIFE AN EPIC
Can't, Arthur Jackman a Hero to
Newfoundlanders.
i've. Il, Their Memory-"Honest as
de Sun He Was, ana az
True as Steel"

Among the sealers of Newfound-
land certain figures loom g!gantic.
Such a one Is Capt. Arthur Jackmah'
dead but never forgotten. Long oe-
fore l reached Newfoundland on the
steamer from New York. ! began near
ing about Jackman's incredible ex-
ploits. Many people in st. Johns toio
me about him. And at the Ice the
sealers were constantly recalling bits
of the Jackmnn legend. Jachinan
seems almost a national hero.
1t was Jackman. most famous OF seal
killers who once when he had an IN
fected thumb called for hatchet anu
calmly chopped that thumb on. "staho-
in dere on de ships Drudge, sir, bare
handed an In green split-tail coat.
1t was Jackman who once knocked
man down into the hold, jumped after
him. failed him around; whereupon
the man sank all his teeth in jack
MACS leg and went raving crazy.
The sealers tell you how Jackman
was never drunk mt sea or SOBER on
land; how he used to trick all the
other sealing captains and clean up
the patch before they could reach 1t;
how one time though short Of coal
himself, dumped 20 tons on the Ice
for Il rival captain to pick up; how
another time. when the funnel was
ripped Off by blizzard. he built
wooden funnel and carried on to Sue
cess.
"Roughest man in the world. sir,
but inside Of him a real man! Seven
foot high he was. Wild hand like
bucket. Big-boned, sir. an hard as
de devils i'd. Only one man ever
licked 'im-dat was Scotch engi-
neer he locked into de cabin to give

him stiff, and Jackman loved him fer 1t.
Honest as de sun he was. an true

Oh, Jackman was i'd of 'em ahl He

foundland-"an' died clean broke.
Give away every cent. he did. His
funeral procession was de laangest
ever seen In st. Johns. Oh, dere

The Jackman epic Is interminable.
Jackman is by way of becoming
Newfoundland solar myth.
The reference to Sunday men re-
qulres explanation. Before the Sab
bath law went into effect certain
men refused to kill seals on Sunday;
and these were Sunday men. Today,
seal killing Is taboo on Sunday.
