SMILES

HARD TO PLEASE. A typical “mover” of the ultra-shift-less type was passing a few days at a cow camp in Arizona, preparatory to going into the desert on a prospecting trip. His wife, a tired out, faded out creature, complained to some of the cowhands of Jhe hardness of her lot; and the foreman took it upon himself to remonstrate with the husband for his shiftlessness and his indifference to his wife’s welfare. “The old woman ain’t got no kick coming!” said the hußband when he had heard the foreman’s remarks. "She ain’t got no kick at all. Why, stranger. When we wuz fixin’ to camp of a night many a time I’ve driven the team half a mile out of the wa| so’s wood and water would be handy fur the old woman to fetch!” —Saturday Evening Post
