The Housewife

People talk of Mrs. Hump, as a
housewife she's a daisy; she is always
on the jump, not a bone in her is
lazy. Everything iss span and spick in
her house, you may be certain, not a
speck on board or brick. not a cobweb
on a curtain. There is fury in her
eyes when she sees some dust outcrop-
ping; she is always sVvattIng flies when
she isn't sweeping mopping. You
would think her husband, Jock, should
be proud and happy, rather. with
wife who is the talk when domestic
DANES foregather. He should walk
with springy tread. through the village
catapulting. he should have uplifted
head. in his good wife's fame exulting.
But he skulks along the road, and he
isn't blithely skipping, headed for his
chaste abode like a boy who breads a
whipping. For the man who has to
dwell in shanty that is speckless has
a dreary tale to tell when at times his
soul grows reckless. Jock has told me
in his woe how he's roasted to a frazzle
if he trails some dust or snow on the
floors that shine and dazzle. Every
book and magazine must be in the
ploce appointed. or the wife kicks up
a scene and her temper is dispointed.
Everything is clean and neat from the
basement to the gable, and he thinks
life would be sweet with the horses in
the stable. Virtues overworked bring
woe, and the house that's always shin
ing. cleaner than the driven snow, Of
ten causes much repining,

Mount Where Lies Mosesh.

From the London Post
About Is miles from Maseru, the
capital of Bastoland, stand Thaba
Bosigo. the mountain of the night.
Used as royal burial ground, where
rests the Great Mosesh, his son and
grandson, this impregnable mountain
was the scene of the great battle in
which Mosesh-who founded the Ba-
suto nation nearly 100 years ago
defeated with great loss the warriors
of the cruel UmziligaZi. Not far away
are the Naluti Mountains-which ex-
tend for about so miles toward the
Natal border-with the peak of Ma
chacha reaching to a height of 1900
feet. This peak was named after the
chief of that name. who was besieged
there by the royal impis of the Zulus,
and where. SO runs legend, he and
his followers were reduced to can
nibalism in a cave near the summit.

seem to be a remnant of the lost con.

came to his death accidentally yester.
day as result of burns sustained in
an explosion at 212 Thirteenth street
according to a verdict of the coroner &
jury at an inquest into his death

Testimony adduced at the inquest
tended to show that O'Connor had just

blow out clogged up gas pipes at the
scene of the explosion when the acci

Much Of the testimony was centered
on exactly what the high pressure

that oxygen under high pressure would
