WINNING AN ARGUMENT HIS DIPLOMATIC WIFt By ALLIE BROCK.

"My wife is the Rreatesl hand at an argument you ever Haw," said tht man In the smoking car of tht- subur ban train. "She always beats BM al anything of dial Bert. The las! time I was shown up as a false alarm iu applying logic to rvcry day affaln was DO longer ago than ytcrdty.

"When 1 got home from the City last even log my wife said to mec 'Thare was a man here today to see about fixing the Bower beds and the garden for the winter He looki'd so shahhy and sort of homeless that 1 gave him your other linlit overcoat."

' That ought to be ■ good start to- ward getting ' "ii a home.' I said in mirthprOTOkingway It wasa thought ful move on your part, i suppose you figured that some lonely widow along the road would fall In love with him when she saw Ihe graceful lines of that coat enfolding him and would rush out to haul him in '

"'Don't Cry to be funny/ said my wife.

""What really Interest me more than his Immediate future," I said, 'is tho object of his call. Did he wait long enough to specify what was the matter with our flower beds that need ed fixing?'

"My wife favored me with the stare of disdain which she considers espe- cially cutting and effective against my kind of sarcasm.

"'Why. 1 suppose he wants to fix them up for the winter.' she said. 'I'm not an expert on such matters, but I have an id.-a that some sort of atten- tion must be paid to them before zero weather comes. 1 told the man to come back this evening and see you.'

"There being no adequate reply to this under the matrimonial code. I al- lowed the subject to drop and awaited my visitor. He came with the shad own, adorned with my overcoat.

" 'I was wonderin.' ne said, 'if you wanted your flower beds and your gar- den fixed up for the winter.* Then he leaned restfully against the porch pillar. '

"'What's the idea?' I asked. 'Won't they be there next spring If I leave them alone all winter?"

"'Yes, but you don't understand.' the tired citizen explained Thej ought to bo bedded down with ferti- lizer—spaded up and covered over. the way they fix 'em in the parks '

'"And then what?" I demanded. The light of my household was listening from the darkness of the hall and I wanted her to see tho uselessness of the appointment she had made for me.

'"Then your flowers and vegetables will have a big start next spring,' the horticulturist explained, 'because the ground will he ready for 'em. I do this every year for most of the pro pie ;.. this town. 1 charge a dollar for my time and you pay for the fertilizer and Bluff.'

MS here, you imitation gardner." I HI... red after I had glared at him a moment, 'you're the worst booster tor yourself that ever came down that road out there. Your efforts to get a dollar out of me are so feeble and amateurish that I'd have a laugh all to myself if I wasn't getting sort of tired of your kind of cattle.

"'You've got a lot of nerve to say that you bed down the vegetable gar- dens of most of the people In this town every year, so they'll be ready to do business with a rush In the spring- time,* I Told hira. 'Why. thpre Isn't arother suburb on this branch of the railroad that turns out Buch a worth- less lot of garden truck as this one.'

" 'N'ow I know what's the matter— It's all your fault If you'd keep your hands off the gardens and let things alone people might have a chance to raise a few spring onions at a cost of not more than $*» a dozen, and we might even get an occasional radish that wasn't a soggy sponge. Not con- tent with getting my fall overc at by merely standing around and looking frostbitten, you expect me to give you a dollar for taking exercise that would keep you warm while you are spoiling my garden!'

"My caller shifted his weight to the other foot and looked uncomfortable for a few seconds, but he was ready with his defense.

" 'Well,' he said, 'a man's got to live/

"'There!' my wife exclaimed trl- umprantly fn»m the darfcMBi tssaHi me. 'That's the point you always over- look!'

"Ho this morning that depressed person was busy In our garden with spado and wheelbarrow when 1 left home. Lovely woman may not be strong on the finer points of logic, but she certainly has the gift of win- ning in any argument."—Chicago Dally News.

The people of Greenville township

are paying a road tax of 15 cents

on each $lfi0 valuation and getting

nothing for it in the way of good

roads. That same tax would pay

the interest on a bond issue of $5,-

000.000 with which to build good

roads, would provide for the main-

tenance of the roads after being

.built, and create a sinking fund large

enough to pay the bonds at matur-

ity. Hence by issue bonds for this

purpose the township can have good

roads without the people paying any

more tax on each $100 valuation than

they are now paying.
