The Husband.
BY TOM MASSON.
The husband is a useful animal.
He is at the head of the house
when his wife and the cook are
both away, and at the foot when
they are at home. He is the first
up in the morning and not unfre
quently the last at night.
His duties are many and va-ri-
ous. He wakes the cook when
there is a cook, and when there
isn’t he lights the fire himself and
draws the water and puts ‘he cof
fee on to boil.
In summer he cuts the lawn
with a mower, trims the hedges,
waters the flowers and takes care
•f the garden. If the garden grows
he allows his wife to say that she
superintended it, and if it doesn’t
he allows her to say that she
didn’t. He pays the butcher, gro
cer and milkman, and likewise the
dressmaker and milliner when he
can. He does odd jobs about the
house, takes care of the baby in
emergencies, and carves the roast
beef and turkey.
In the morning the husband can
be seen going to his daily toil, and
in the evening at any time from
six to three in the morning he can
be seen coming home again. On
Saturday night he goes to his
dub, and sometimes on other
nights, too. The husband is- apt
to be slow in a quarrel, like the
man in Shakespeare, but once be
ing in it he’tears things to pieces.
During these rare intervals he is
not easily approached, and it is
the part of wisdom to leave him
severely alone. At other times,
however, he is tractable and easily
managed.
Husbands, as a rule, are at their
best during holidays. They carry
bundles at these seasons with ease
and spend money readily. They
are apt to be moody, however, on
the first of every month.
Most husbands are fond of food,
and this is a favorite way of pla
cating them. It is almost always
effective, but it the food is poorly
cooked, though there be plenty,
it not infrequently is apt to cause
distress, not only to the husband
himself, but to all the other mem-
bers of the household.-
The husband is fond of games,
especially poker and golf. He
likes to play golf on Sunday and
poker on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. He does not like re
ceptions, authors’ readings, sewing
circles or literary afternoons, how-,
eyer, and great care should be
taken not to force him to be
present at these functions.
The husband differs during dif
ferent periods. Early in life he
likes to kiss his wife morning and
evening. In middle life once a
week, between forty and sixty
once a year, and after sixty some
other young thing under twenty.
Husbands may be numerically
classed into first, second and third,
After that they don’t count. The
first husband usually marries for
love, the second for money and
the third because he cannot help
bimself.
The husband is a necessity. He
exists in every land and in all cli
mates. He can be seen every -
where and upon every occasion.
He can even be seen in church on
Sunday morning.

Let us have a pine knot factory.
Why knot?
Not a factory for the purpose of
manufacturing knots, but, rather
one for making millionaires out of
the knotty knot owners, We have
the knots. Why knot make use
of them? The problem is knot so
knotty as at first sight it might
appear.
Let knot the Chamber of Com
merce stand back, bu' let them
take hold of the matter and give
us what we need*—a Pine Knot
Factory.
