The farce was kept up till

more was saved. Clark then
did everything possible to
speed an appeal to the presi-
dent for a pardon for Leschi,
but fate was against him.
The territorial legislature then
in session passed an emergency
law requiring the supreme court
to hold a special session on or

Mr.. McGorcan opened Pups ice
box door. This was his mistake
Pups connected with the part of his
lower leg known as the gastroc-
nemous. Whereupon Mr.. McGorcan
smacked Pups on the head, purely
in self-defense. Pups connected
again, in the seat of the pants!
Help came. Pups was promptly
analyzed And by the time he was
figured out, motives and what not
it was too late to punish him any
way. Only Pups remembered the
smack on the head and closed all
ports to the gentleman. He'd accept
gifts and go through the outward
gestures of friendship as long as his
adversary had a bone or candy to
offer. But just let McGorcan move
and the feud was on!
All because Pups had got away
with it the first time He'd always
shown signs of watch dog tend

had a guardian of the household

who came near the door. And he
tried to bite. The boss came to the
point where she had to discipline
the aggressor thoroughly or put up

type is desired. But for the normal

very rude. Guests come, and should
be allowed to go, in good condition.
1t may not be possible to train the
canine to take an active part in the
receiving line. But the family pup
can and must learn a few rules of
hospitality. 1t may be his house,
but that's no reason for his acting

not wanting company is one thing.
But his behavior towards those
whom his family might entertain is
another.
There always will be a few rene
gades in society, both canine and
human, who growl when dragged
forth. So if Pups refuses to stand
on his head, sits around and shows
disapproval of the whole proceed
ing, that's understandable. But
when he becomes violent and starts
an offensive because an introduced
guest is stranger, he's out of
bounds!
Burglars and people going about
the normal business of life differ.
The fact that a person may be

they're trouble-makers. And Pups
has enough sense to learn discrim-
ination. Any one who thinks diff
ferently belittles his intelligence.
It's mostly a matter of training.

Advice to Son
On Married
Happiness
Pitfalls Avoided
By Listening to
Your Mother
BY DOROTHY DIX.

Probably there is no other subject
in the world about which there is
such a divergent opinion between
men and women as what consti-
tutes good husband.
A man thinks he is a good hus-
band if he pays his wife's bills and
that if he does that she should
be down on her knees thanking
God for having got him for a hus-
band. even though he is as cold as
a frigidaire, as dumb around the
house as a clam, as sour as a dill
pickle and as hard to live with as
a fretful porcupine.
On the other hand, a woman con-
siders man a good husband if
he continues to make love to her
after they are married and to show
her little attentions, and if he treats
her as if she were a lady love
instead of useful household gad-
get. AS long as husband takes
an interest in holding his wife's
hand she will work to the bone for
him and consider it a privilege to
do so.
All of this being true, it is not
father, but mother, who should
hand out few tips to their son
on his wedding eve about how to
make and keep himself popular
with his wife.
And mother would say: well,
son, I know you are going into mar
riage just sloshing over with all
the standardized virtues. You are
sober and industrious and moral
and upright and you are going to
be a good provider and you are de-
termined that Mary shall never do
ought but lift her lily white hand
to soothe your weary brow. Fine!
But just doing your duty in mar
riage isn't enough. You have got
to throw in some of the graces to
make it worth while for your wife,
Believe me, son, the best invest
ment that you can ever make is to
' pay your wife few compliments
: every day. They will make the
household machinery run on oiled
, bearings. They will save discord
= and discomfort and keep you from
7 divorce and alimony.
Then, get off on the right foot
7 Start being the head of the house
on your wedding day. Don't be
tyrannical or arbitrary or oppres-
sive. Give your wife plenty of free
dom to do as she likes and manage
ner own affairs, but in the end
make yourself the supreme au-
thority.
"And, above all, son, make your
wife your partner. Make her your
companion. That is what a wife
really wants more than anything
else, to feel that she is a help
mate to her husband, that he trusts
her Judgment, that he depends or

1g Luscious Fruit Cakes for Holiday S

The Small
Bus Seat
Person Already
Seated Has a
Prior Right

There are two ways Of handling
the girl who tries to squeeze into a
narrow space on the bus seat beside
you. One is to move over and let
her in. The other is to move the
other way and shove her out. Also
you can yell at her.
OF course, some people will try to
get into a space that wouldn't even
take a cat. They should definitely
be showed out. You should spread
yourself we'll over the extra 2 inches,
and if any trouble arises, tell the in
truder just what you think of. her.
A bus seat, after all, will hold just
SO many people and no more.
If the space looks promising, and
the intruder looks tired, and a bit
hesitant, then do your best to let
her in. Even if she only can sit
on the edge of the seat, it will help
her out, and she'll feel grateful to
you.
But I do think that the people who
try to sit in these narrow open
spaces should be careful to remem-
ber that those already seated have
prior right, and that unless one Of
them makes a gesture of welcome,
she chould remain standing-even
if it hurts. JEAN.
