I hate to have to admit it but woman is a contradictory creature! time ago I was staying in a household the father of which had "retired." From what he "retired" I never perfectly understood, for, as far as I could ascertain, he had never done any work in his life. But at any rate lie had "retired" from whatever he hac been doing, or not doing, before he began to do what I found him ill when I moved into the household eating heavily, smoking far too the rest of the time grumbling KAiffly about everything and against everybody especially his wife. was no "retiring" for her. I noticed she kept up her household duties' always and excellently spurred to efficiency in them by his perpetual presence about the house.

Between the sobs she complained of never seeing the husband now. She spoke of his hav ing "deserted" her for golf. Sha "missed" him. The friend, stupefied, coulo only stare at her in amazement. Verily the affection of faithful harassed women passeth all understanding! Woman is a contradictory creature there's no denying it! More often thc'i not a woman with a husband who i "painfully trying" when he is around will miss him dreadfully when he is not.

NO RACE SUICIDE IN THIS FAM ILY. 'Squire R. I. Mitchell, who visited hi-- old home near Ridgeville this week, brought back a bit of news that is rare, to say the best. The wife of West Graves, a negro of that section, has just presented her husband wiih the 8th consecutive set of twins.

The young couple have been married aoout 13 years, the knot having been i by 'Squire Mitchell when he was i of the peace.

But when a man takes his hammer by the like this, and strikes gentle taps like this, like this he gets on Mrs.
