fourths Of the living room.
"And now II We only had one Of

unused the almost new husbands bride.
"Why. Bettina. 1t was only yester-
day that you argued the piano would
finish the room without buying an

husband. THAT was one of the ar.
guments you used to wheedle me into
buying"
"Well, Of course. 1t saves us buying
a luscious blue plush bed-davenport. or

isn't room In this apartment for much
besides the piano. 1t really Is an
economy in the end. But lamp Is

Unfortunate Apology.

A certain editor of country news
paper In Kansas WINS asked to leave
the community as the result Of typo
graphical error In his report Of the
wedding of the mayors daughter. re-
lates Pep. After exhausting his sup
ply OF large words about the BLUSH
ing BRIDE" he had said: 1.-THE large
elaborate bouquets Of roses were
punk"
The mayor demanded a correction
and apology In the next weeks issue,
all Of which the editor was glad to
promise. The next issue contained:
I'VE wish to apologize for the man
ner In which We disgraced the benuti-
full wedding last week. Through an
error of the typesetter We were made
to say "the roses were punk What
We wanted to say was the noses were
pink. "-Philadelphia Bulletin.

While still q novice in the art Of

president Of the firm. In my nervous

but few blank pages In my notebook.

on the cover Of the book. All went

then try as I might could not make

him Of my plight. He was quite kind.

letter over and suggested that en-
deavor to read a few lines so that he
might get the connection. However.
this was an impossibility on my part,
whereupon he began studying the lit.

blurted out: ''Can It be that you ARE
trying to read your notes upside

ton and embarrassment solved the
mystery instantly.-Chicago Tribune.

MANS CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
Writer Dsnounees the "LMs imprisen-
msnt" Which Confinement In zoo-
IooieaI Garden Means.

"Purely as matter Of ethics, abel.
ton is the ultimate logic Of all zoo
logical gardens" Such Is the opinion
animals have committed no crimes
against the community" he says. "and
therefore the community has no right
whatever to give them life sentences
of imprisonment" A very few Of the
larger animals. he admits may Affect
human life injuriously. but they form
an ininitesImal portion Of the lnhabi-
other hand. 1t Is argued that we never
thought of combining those animals be-
lieved to he the most Injurious. namely
insects-and therefore 1t Is plain that
'the punishment does not fit the
crime"
Even II 1t were granted that animals
are happier In captivity than In their
native wilds, this can only be meant
relatively, for though protected and
cared for. animals In captivity are de-
MED the primal Joys Of liberty and At
ness to environment. among such Jobs
being their power Of exercising their
suppleness OF bsdy or strength Of wing
In graceful movements. and not least
Of all joys. the power Of satisfying
their continual curiosity.
Much has been done for animals. and
much more might he done for the wild
birds. For the eagles. hawks. cOndors
and vultures the writer feels that
nothing can he done. He quotes from
that great lover Of birds, W. W. Hud-
son, to whom the sight of any bird In
a cage. be It robin redbreast or bird
unknown to william Blake, literally
sets him In rage. He has some
where described sermon he heard on
genius. In which the preacher likened
the life of the ordinary person to that
Of the canary In Its cage. But Of the
genius-"A cloud came over his 1.-THE
preacher's) majestic features. he drew
himself up and swayed his body from
side to side. and shook his black gown
and lifted his arms as a great bird
lifts Its plumed homolOgues. and let
them fall again two or three times, and
then said in deep measured tones
which seemed to express rage and de.
spnIr-'But did you ever see the eagle
in his cageT"
The broOding hopeless gaze of those
stern eyes offers only one solution tc
