It is always a great pleasure
to see our cemetery looking beau-
tiful again . . . the cleaning up
process was completed before the
rain, and if the weather will
stay pretty for the next several
days it will be dry enough to
fill up the holes in the roads,
Which is all that is lacking for
a complete job . . . the roads
and some trimming around in
various places. Drive out if you
have an opportunity the latter
£art of the week, it’s a sight to
warm your heart.

For those who missed this
charming essay, written by a lit-
tle girl and published in T« d
Malone’s Scrapbook:
Husbands
Husbands is the people that
your mamma marries and she
always wishes she hadn’t picked
out the one she did, but I don’t
know why, because husbands all
look alike to me.
My mama says that husbands
is like the things that you buy
on the bargain table. They look
fine and grand so that you feel
like you’ll die if you don’t get
the one that you have set your
ieyes on, and you fight with an-
other woman for it and are ready
to pull her hair and scratch her
face to get it, but after you get
it and take it home with you,
it looks like thirty cents, and
you spend your life wondering
iwhat made you fool enough to
(want it.
t
Husbands, is very kind and po-
lite to strange women, and they
laugh themelves most to death
|when the pretty slim young
ladies tell jokes, but when their
[wives are forty years old, and
has gotten fat, / husbands is
Igrouchy, afid when their wives
(tells a funny story, all they
Isay is “Huh."
I guess husbands is the smart-
est people in the world - and
knows the most because they sit
up all evening and read the
paper, and never waste any time
talking to their wives.
I guess husbands is a kind of
fish, because I heard some
ladies say that Miss Susie Jones
jwas fishing for Mr. Brown, but
they didn’t think that she’d ever
hook him, and when I asked my
papa what that meant, he said
£t meant that men were suckers,
and that if they weren’t none
ibf them would ever get married.
There used to be a great many
husbands, and yom could go out
and catch one just as easy as
you could go out and kill a
buffalo for breakfast, but every
year they get fewer and fewer,
;and they don’t roam the plain
any more, and soon there won’t
he any more buffaloes and hus-
bands left except those in cap-
tivity.
Most ladies is only got one
husband, but the ladies that have
traveled and has been as far
jwest as Reno, or over the Paris
sometimes has a collection of
Ihusbands.
There are two kinds of hus-
bands. A good husband is a man
•what gives you plenty of money
to go shopping with, and goes
downtown to work every morn-
ling at eight o’clock and doesn’t
come home until six, and a hus-
band that is a mean old thing is
the one that makes his wife buy
things on a bill, so he can see
how she spent the money, and
Iwho goes snooping around the
kitchen seeing how thick the
cook pares the potato peelings,
land who stays at hogpe all day.
A husband is a useful animal
to have around the house, for it
pays the hills. I am going to
have a husband when I am
grown up.
