Hie hijackers are strong after rob-
bing banks, pay-roll messengers, tra-
velers supposed to have money and
even treasurers of Sunday Schools,
but for some reason they never think
of robbing a laundry, which should
have more money than the United
States mint

I About the most useless man that
j ever came under our observation was
; the one who stood guard one night
j during a county seat fight out in
Western Kansas, and came in the
! next morning and asked a friend how
! the Winchester that he nursed all
i night worked.

The laziest man of whom we ever
______ j had occasion to note was the one who

The trouble with so many of these

Suppose we will have to do as they
do the surplus girls in China, kill
them just as soon as they are born
wn.
It is a very good idea, if you are
going to give a friend anything on
Christmas, to manage to let them
know it in a round-about way. They
may forget you if you don't. On the
other hand, it is a good plan to lay
in a few very frivolous things that
you can send right out in case some-
one remembers you that you had for-
gotten.
o
There was some philosophy if not
true religion displayed by the Colored
Baptist church up in Hunt county,
that turned a brother out of church
for not paying what he had promised
for the preacher. When he complain-
ed to some white brethern they told'
him that he could not be turned out
of church for failing to pay the prea-
cher, but he added "they didn't turn
me out for not paying, but for lying
about it."
o
About the most tiresome man that
used to come across our path was the
one who was trying to drown his
domestic sorrows in drink, and would
insist in telling you all about the in-
felicity. The next day he would be
sober and come around and apolo-
gize, when you would assure him that
you paid no attention to what he
j said. On the third day he would
> proach the cashier's window to meet, come hacki drunfr aRan Pnd tc]| you
a female depositor whose check he ' that this tjme yQU haJ 0 Ugten to
had turned down. j .vv,at he was going to .'<ay, and pro-
i ceed to repeat the story
Its a strange coincidence that a
boys get to be big enough to get up
and build the fires long before his
sister has reached the stage where
she can wash the dishes by herself.
o
Death naturally has terrors for us
all, but if we have to meet it can con-
ceive of no more acceptable way than
to be run over while pumping up a
tire.
o
One inducement for people going
in debt for automobiles, probably lies
in the fact that they do not figure
on living to meet the last few pay-
ments.
The great question when we were
helping our sister do the dishes, was
whether the knives and forks belong-
ed !.o the dishes proper, or to the
"tin things."
Our idea of a man of courage is |
the banker who will voluntarily ap- \
reason of the cruel and harsh treat-
ment and improper conduct of defen-
dant towards plaintiff, she was forc-
ed and compelled to permanently
separate from him, since which time
they have not lived together as hus-
band and wife.
2. Plaintiff alleges that during the
time she lived and cohabited with
defendant as aforesaid, she conducted
herself with propriety and managed
the household affairs of her said hus-
band with prudence and economy,
and at all times treated her said hus-
band with knidness and forebearance
but, that defendant, disregarding the
solemnity of his marriage vow, and
his obligation to treat plaintiff with
kindness and attention, soon after
their said marriage began a course
of unkind, harsh and tyrannical con-
duct toward her, which continued
with slight intermissions, until she
finally separated from him on or
about April 16, 1927. That defen-
dant often cursed and abused her and
just before her deceased baby was
born told plaintiff that he hoped she
would die when it came; that defen-
dant never supported plaintiff but
left her with her mother to support
that said marriage relations between
plaintiff and defendant still exist.
3. Plaintiff alleges that defendants
action and conduct toward her gener-
ally are of such a nature as render
their future living together as hus-
band and wife insupportable, the
premises considered.
Wherefore the plaintiff prays the
court that defendant be cited in due
form of law to appear and answer
herein and for judgment dissolving
said marriage relations, for the res-
toration of her maiden name, for the
costs of suit, and for such other and
further relief, special and general,
in law and in equity, to which she
may show herself justly entitled.
Herein fail not, but have before
said court, at its aforesaid next regu-
lar term, this writ with your return
thereon, showing how you have exe-
cuted the same.

The modern woman is far different
from the one of half a century ago,
when the good old soul dd not go to
town on eu average of more than
three times a year, and then it was to
visit the undertaker and find out if
anybody had died.

It is reported that a man has been
known to keep his eyes open, without
blinking, for an hour and fifty-seven
minutes. We know a man or two who
could keep them blaring for half a
day if the lady with the short skirt
and shapely extremities would keep
in sight that long.
This is one time of the year when
we most miss our dear, departed
Father and Mother. No matter where
the boy was, or what he had been
doing, they never forgot him
