Uncle Walte c j s * AA j TOIL AND TROUBLE i 4 4T MUST admit that Ufe In the syjv]' JL van solitudes has Its drawbacks 0 in the winter line," confessed the wild j « 0 man of the woods. "There are tiroes; 5 when I think with pensive longing of j i " -e had In our vine-

covered cottage In [ town, and wish 1 ( were 6eated by It " "And then comt j painful reeollec < tlons which not . only reconcile m< ' ' I to my cave in th< J] woods but convince me thai J I , am the most for tnnate of men 1 The thing we call | comfort Is a delu | slon. The roor. • modern a house . Is, the greatei | is, uie an-Btri. |

I 'In happy homes we see the light of firesides gleaming warm and bright,' and the description Is allurinr : | but have you ever been responsible foi ■ one of those fireplaces gleaming warm ! and bright? If so, you know It costs j more than It's worth. i "My wife was an admirable woman T1

every respect, and I never weary , ;e of extolling her splendid qualities of I tJ heart and inind. but she was a crank [ ' on neatness. Our house always was ' * like a new pin. She wonWn't stand -for J, anything that looked like disorder and I P« characteristic of hers caused roe j <« much misery. , at "We had an old-fashioned heating £ stove which burned big clunks <>! j _ wood, und It might have been possible j to be comfortable by It In wintry! weather, had my wife been <<f a more j liberal mind. When It became uppar- 1 i ent to the most casual observer ib.nl ! bad weather was coming. 1 wanted i" bring In enough wt-cd to last until elements lock in their "Bp: it. Mv plan was to have a large box behind the stove, and fill it wltb wood. But inj | beloved Arabella said she'd be ever- < lastingly keelhauled ar.d kerflutnmlxed she'd have an old woodbox in | the sitting room. She exhausted her j energy and intellect, she said, making our sitting room a credit to the fataily. and she wasn't going to have any j old boxes kicking around. "Neither would she permit me to pile i a reserve supply of wood in the kitchen She argued that the kitchen should be as orderly and neat as the parlor, and . there was no more striking evidence j of baB housekeeping than piles ol , wood here and there. "You may ask why I didn't pnt my I foot down and assert myself as heau i of the family, but when u man hat been married a few years he gets tirec j of putting his foot down, since It < never accomplishes anything. He Is I willing to make any sacrifice for tht j ' sake of balmy peace. "The result of my wife's attitude ot J this question was that I had to be al ways drilling out to the woodshed foi fuel, and there's nothing more disgust lng than leaving a warm sitting rooir on such an errand. Before leaving th« house I had to put on my overshoes so I wouldn't bring In any snow wher , I I returned. Having, secured my arm | load of wood. I had to lay It down ot | the back porch while I took off my I overshoes, and then gather It up agalr 1 and carry it Into the house. "This done, my estimable wife woulc ; 1 follow ray track to the back door, wltl ' her hands in the air. in a gesture ol ( despair, saying I had left a trail ol , bark and silvers and other refuse, anc , if I had the first instincts of a gentle man I'd clean up the mess I had made ) Having the second as well as the flrsl instincts of a gentleman. I get th' | broom and dustpan and removed th« debris. It was the same way when 1 carried out the ashes. I never coulc carry out ashes without dropping ssm pies on the floor, and then I'd have tc get down on my marrowbones anc clean up. and by the time I seated my self by the stove to rest the flre would be low again, and I'd have to scoot ■ Info the howling tempest once more - It was this sort of thing that drove * me. a homeless wanderer, from tb( busy haunts." ) Th#*Soul of Gallantry. "I'm so sorry," said the beautiful J motorist who had knocked down e ' pedestrian. ■J "Madam." replied her victim, as h< i made a sweeping bow, "I can't say j that It's a pleasure to be struck by at automobile, but when the driver hap pens to be such a fair creature as you 9 I find that my vocabulary of oaths it j reduced to a simple Tut, tut.'
