SHE SPANKS ERRING HUSBAND
He Acqulesces In tho Punishment and
Declares They Get Along
Splendidly.

We have with us married man who
admits that his wife spanks him when
ever he does serious wrong. They be
gan their married career In a business
partnership and made money. When
the husband began to spend more than
his share and ran around nights the
wife on one occasion tied him face
downward to the bed and dashed him
to fragile with strap. The hus-
band accepted the findings of his su-
preme court in good faith. He had his
lesson and admitted that 1t was com.
ing to him. Now when he does any
thing to which the wife can honestly
take exception she takes him down
into the cellar and administers the
strap, says the Los Angeles Times.
The husband makes no attempt al
resistance. 1t is his medicine and he
takes 1t. He says that he and wife
get along splendldly together. Wheth-
er the lady ever gets spanked or not
the husband does not say. But he
does assert that the wife who spares
the rod may spoil the husband. II all
husbands lined up for spanking
whenever they stayed out after mid
night or lost 81 at poker it would be
better all around. The husband would
prefer the strap to tongue flashing
and the wife would feel better for the
physical exertlon.

On which the most bigoted cant
cast aspersion;
Yes, these the people whom
tourists describe
As thoroughly knowing the way
to imbibe.
So Silas 7. Green
Felt pleased and serene
With that part of Paris which, so
far, he'd seen.
But like every tourist,
Yes, even the purest,
He wanted to witness the Life of
Montmartre
Supposedly the gayest of spots on
the chart.
And so he set out where the
bright lights were winking
In many famous and bril-

Moderate Drinking,
Performed when they chanc-
ed to be specially gay.
He did all the joints
AT the various points
His friends recommended, and
found, with dismay,
A crowd which progressively
Drank most excessively.
And though drunken foreigners
predominated,
The natives, too, proved to be in
ebraited.
And under the clamor,
The jazz and the glamor
Which costly surroundings at
tempted to throw,
Beneath all the show
Of perfumes and jewels and ser
vile suavity,
Silas 7. Green sensed the ancient
depravity,
The union of drink with com
mercialized vice,
Which, Silas conceded, was not
very nice.
We need not detail
Exactly the trail
That Silas Green followed through
Paris that night,
Except to expound
That Snas T. found
The French people often get pie
eyed, all right.
For cognac is potent, and little
cafes
Are everywhere anyone happens
to gaze,

Seeking with fervor that much

Or nation, or race, which might
quite understand
The Right Way to Drink. But
wherever he went
He never found people entirely

With merely enough
OF John Barleycorn's stuff
Too Much pleased them better; he
frequently viewed
The Latin or Teuton undoubtedly
stewed,
There always were places where
patrons were busy
In making themselves very
cheerfully dizzy,
And others who'd sank in
A deep stupor drunken.
So, though he'd heard travellers
sagely affirm many
Times that they Knew How to
Drink there in Germany
Or heard that Italians were
known as tribe
That understood just the Right
Way to lmbibe,
lie found on a closer, more acccur-
ate view
Wherever there's Drink there is
drunkenness too
SO Silas sailed home
Der the salt ocean foam
And it's worthy of note that the

Never saw Silas Green during all
