WAS FILLED WITH CURIOSITY
He Was Just Waiting to Ses Whether
Wife Would Carry Out Threat
to Go Back to Mother's.
The man was standing behind a tree
in front of an apartment house in a
cross street when the cop on that beat
came pounding along on the sidewalk.
It was close to midnight and naturally
the cop stopped and looked at the man
standing behind the tree.
“Howdy,” says the cop, by way of
opening conversation.
“You’re another," replied the man
good-naturedly.
“Whuchuh doin’—waitin’ for some
body?” inquired the brave policeman.
“Nope.”
“Just standin’ there, hey?”
“You’ve hit it.”
“Live near here, do you?”
"Right in there,” says the citizen.
Jerking his thumb in the direction of
the apartment house he was standing
in front of.
The cop looked at him thoughtfully
for a minute.
“Mebby it’s none of my business,” he
says, “and then again mebby it is. 1

provided it don’t go any further. My
wife says to me when I started down-
town this evenin’, ‘If you’re not home
by midnight' I’m goin’ to pack up and
go right back to mother’s. So there !’ ”
“Well?” says the cop.
“Well,” repeated the citizen, “It’s
Just about midnight now, and I'm like
you—I’ve got curiosity. I’m waitin’
here to see if she’s goin’ to keep her
word.”
The cop’s curiosity ceased at that
point, and he walked on down the
street, whistling, without waiting to
see the thing out.—Cleveland Plain

Insurance Policy and Marriage.
“The important thing is that the In
surance policy—big or little—should
come into every home with the mar
riage license. It should precede the
savings bank account, the home, yes,
even new clothes, or butter on the
table. No man has a right to take a
girl out of her father's home without
protecting her from starvation in case
of the accident of death.
“There comes the unhappy word
again—death. Yet the shadow of it
need not rest heavily upon us. The un
fortunate thing about a will is that it
is associated in the average man’s
life only with death. It should be
associated with life. The time for a man
to make a will is today, while he can
do it with a smile on his lips, and the
jests and good wishes of his witnesses
ringing cheerily in his ears. Such a
man cannot cheat death of its ulti
mate victory; but he robs it of its
sting, for he has made death powerless
to bring poverty and distress to those
who are left behind.”—Woman’s Home
