THE DESIRABLE HUSBAND (t TEMIMA BIN6WANGER was in J luck when ehe captured Tobias Todmarsh." observed the druggist. "Tobe will make a perfect husband, or I miss my guess. He has no bad ■feoKito »ui »><» to a moneymaker, without being a tight-

wad. She will be able to bask in the lap of luxury the rest of her days." "Of course that ought to make her happy." commented the village patriarch, "but 1 doubt whether it will. I have heard a lot of people speak of the marriage of these two, and they all and they

take the same view; Tobe Is a good citizen and a moneymaker, and consequently be ought to be a flrsi-class husband. Some of the citizens who talk 'his way are venerable married imen, and they ought to know better. "Of course a woman likes to haveplenty of money, and unlimited Credit at the stores, but the man Isn't properly educated who assumes that she will be satisfied with that. I am not the official forecaster, and I haven't my goosebone with me. but i venture to predict that the marriage will be a dismal failure. Tobias, with all "his excellent qualities. Is the most closemouthed man in tov.-n. "and if he ever had an emotion he probably took it for a chill, and began doping himself with quinine. There's as much sentiment in a concrete hitching post as there is in that man. j' "Jemima, on the other hand, fairly .■lops over with \ sentiment. She's a [languishing sort of girl, who looks up09 herself as a vine, and will want her hu3band to be a sturdy oak, so she can wind herself around him, as It were. She will expect Tobias to tell her, four thousand times a day, how much he loves her; and every time he takes a chair she win climb on his knees and push her topknot into his face, and expect him to assure her in burning language that he simply i couldn't live five minutes withont her. 1 "When that sort of a girl gets the right husband, my friends, she Is an excellent wife. She would make any sacrifice for him. She wouldn't care a picayune about the size of his bank account She'd be perfectly willing to live under a bridge with him, and wear a burlap gown. If he'd only keep on telling her that she. is the entire solar system where he Is concerned. It is a tragic fact that this sort of girl seldom does get the man she ought to have. ' She should splice up with a half-baked poet - or a hungry artist with long hair, but there is much irony in human lives and destinies, and so she usually marries n nfan who Is strong on mathematics and short , on sentiment. "That's the mistake Jemima is making. Why does slip marry such a hardheaded individual as Tobias? Because, like all her kind, she is a dreamer of | dreams, anil she has given him atCrl- ■ butes which don't belong to him. She ' has framed up a character for him. and it isn't a bit like the real goods. When site has been married a little while she will see that her blueprints and specifications were all wrong, ami the disappointment will make an old woman of her. and her temper will become warped and she'll be so tils- e agreeable in every way that her husband will spend most or. his time thinkfhg up excuses for staying away fro. 11 home. "That's the way with a sentimental girl; fi she happeus to marry a man | who appreciates the poetry of her nature, she Is the best tiling that ever happened. She looks young when she is seventy years old. and her whole career is one long basket picnic. But if she marries the wrong man, which she does in ninety-nine cases odt of a hundred, she loses her grip as soon as she finds that her {lreams were all mor.nshifie. and then she develops in•lo a shrew. "Why does Tobias nfarry Jemima? Tliat's the real problem. He's so clearsighted in most things he should be ubie to see that she isn't the wife he needs, but men have blind staggers when they think they are In love" No Cass, but Got a Bill. Angry Man — Here, what do yon mean, sending me this bill for $10? Didn't you say that I had no case against the railroad company? Lawyer — My dear sir, that is what the bill is for — udvice. — .New Tort Central Magazine Runs Either Way. "Are you a bull or bear in Wall Street V "Neither," replied Mr. Dustin Stax. "When I'm on the trail of a sure profit I'm a bloodhound; and when Tm scared, I'm a rabbit" •»' Misleading Start "When a man begins a sentence with T understand— ' " c "What then?" "He usually proceeds with an effort to dig"'" something of which he has - no understanding whatever."
