CHAFF FROM THE STRAW STACK
If youf wife is growing restless, If
she 'tentatively tugs, at the dingy win
dow curtains, if she studies all the
rugs; if she talks about wall paper, If
she "views the window panes with an
eye that sees them tarnished by a lot
'Of streaks and stains, then you may as
well be as patient as a mouse, for, a
'feeble man can't stop tar, she will
:soon be cleaning house, .
, A Umatilla county school teacher
recently wrote the mother of a pupil In
order to get 'her views on corporal
punishment. Following Is the reply:
"Dear Miss You writ me about
whipping my sun. 3 hereby give you
permission to beet "him everytlme it
is necessary to learn his lessons. . He
Is just like his father; you have to lern
him with a club. Pound nowledge
Into himr I want him to get it and
don't pay no attenshun to what his
father says. I'll handle him."
Some visitors were ' being shown
over an English pauper lunatic asylum.
They Inquired of their conductor what
"method was employed to discover
when the inmates were sufficiently re
covered to leave. "We have a big
trough of water," said the conductor,
"and we turns on the tap. We leaves
It running and tells 'em to ball out the
water with pails until they've emptied
the troughs" "How does that prove
them?" asked one of the visitors.
"Well," said the conductor, "them as
" ain't Idiots turns off the tap." "
