Intended victim—All his life.—Boston Transcript. Whiskers Cause Divorce—It is so easy to find grounds for divorce in these degenerate days. A woman in St. Louis objected to her husband’s whiskers. The husband liked them and wouldn’t cut them off and so she sued for a divorce. There is no doubt that some wives have a perfect right to object to some whiskers, but the idea of making it a reason for breaking the bonds of matrimony seems absurd. But it shows how lightly the marital contract is regarded in the social outfit of the day. It is a bad symptom. It shows that the true spirit of life is be- coming all deranged, and the disposition to dislike and hate is becoming stronger than the tendency to love and respect. The latter is a positive duty as much as the obligation to be honest and upright. The social habit is largely against the beautiful marital tendency, and when it tempts a couple, away goes the beauty of home and conjugal fellowship. If that woman had only stayed away from cabarets, dances and whist parties she might have got along lovingly with her husband’s whiskers. —Ohio State Journal.

The Trouble—“Has Bliggins an ear for music?” “Yes, The trouble is that he won’t limit himself to his ears, but insists on trying to use his voice.”—Washington Star. In the Next Flat—Mulford—Your wife used to sing and play a great deal. I have not heard her lately. Stilford—Since we have had children she has had no time. Mulford—Ah, children are such a Impression of Novelty — “What makes you stand there watching me operate this adding machine?” asked the man in the bank. “We have so much music out home,” answered the loiterer, “that it’s kind of interesting to see somebody punching a lot of s around without starting up some kind of a tune.” —Washington Star.
