His . friend the biologist said he married her (because he was tall and she WAB short, and he was blond and’ she was dark. His friend the psychoanalyst said he married her because She resembled his mother,! The girl who had wanted him for herself said he married her because love is blind. She man who wanted her for him self said he married her because Ik wanted her money. But the real reason he married he was that she had squeezed his hand while they were sitting out a dance the night he proposed.—Exchange. Island Never Had Frost Although North Carolina, often has several snowstorms in winter and cold snaps are common, there is one spot in the state where there never has been so much as a frost. This is Bald Head island, at the mouth of the Cape, Fear river, not far from Southport. It covers ten or twelve square miles and the growth is subtropical, says the Raleigh (N. C.) News and Observer. Nowhere have live oak trees attained such magnificence, and nowhere else do palm trees thrive without protec tion of some sort from the cold, The, island is aiveritable jungle with about as equable a climate as could be de sired. It is never hot and never cold. The Nerve of Him What next? That’s what a young matron, who lives in Logan, is won dering. She responded to the ring ing of the doorbell the other day end on the porch was a one-armed man. “Please help me,’’, he whined. The housewife looked in her purse for some change. She thought there might be a dime there. But there was' only ‘ five pennies, “I’m sorry,” 1 she said, “that I haven’t more change, but here’s 5 cents,” The man gazed at her stolidly. Then he turned away and without a word descended the porch steps,—Philadelphia Record. Seemed Appropriate The Women’s Debating society was holding a meeting in the village hall and the subject under discussion was “Our Husbands.” The chairman arose and made the following statement : '.“What we want is some sort of organization for our husbands, and we- would like a few suggestions!”' “How about Our Dumb Friends’ league?” inquired a member.—Stray Stories.
