Amerir n Educator Explains Presence in Book of Myth of Jonah and the Whale. Hr. It. G. Moulton, professor of lltemture at the University of Uliicngo, adtlressinjr n gatherini; of Wesleyans at Hath, England, where he received his education, insists that Jonah was not swallowed hy the whale and that I ho story forms no part of the real Bible. The Bible, mighty In itself, said Doctor Moulton. Tind passed through the hands of commentators who had no knowledge, no understanding of literature. and who reduced It to a form whinh hud little or no likeness to the real Bible. One of these numerous eommentntors had written into that most spiritual and beautiful hook of Tonah the narrative of the whale, the only eiTei-t being one of distortion and disfigurement. In iK-tii'iI fact the story, asserted Doctor Moulton, had been originally In the form of a mere footnote comment In manuscript, but by some blunder, due to careless, slipshod printing from which the Bible suffered more than any other book in the world, the fable of the whale had been Included In the general text. And in this way hail it come down through the ages to the modern world as pure comedy, or. what wn.4 worse, ribald satire.

Henry Helped 00-00000000000000-0000000oo< “My husband is the greatest help around the bouse!” declared the brida* proudly and a bit loftily. "Just think! The other day when the table beli was out of order he fixed it himself, and we didn't have to call in an electrician and pay him a hundred dollars an hour!" "You poor child!" cried the matron who had been married tor some time. “What a horrible life stretches out before you! And you are so young, too! ” “Weil, I declare!" sniffed the bride. “Yes, and you'll do worse than that!” placidly pronounced the lady ■who had bee*n married long. "You will be hurling your hands heavenward and demanding to be told why such a fate has been wished upon you! However, it's a failure uot uncommon to bridegrooms, this desire to be helplul about the home, and perhaps he'il outgrow it. It may be your blessed good fortune to have him develop into one of those men who wouldn't drive a tack to save the house from instant collapse, and who wouldn’t notice if you kept the waslibotler on top of the piano and served dinner on oilcloth!" “I think you are crazy!" said the bride. "That's the fate of ail truth tellers," tommented the other. ''V\ hy, don’t you know that you actually lose money hy having a man useful about the house? 1 suppose that, w hen your Arthur fixed that table bell you are chortling about lie spent two hours and a hall on the job, and you had to roil up tho dining-room rug. move all the furni ture, incidentally smashing the rock cry stal bowl on the sideboard which jiggled off, and y ou had to walk four miles and a quarter bringing him the hammer, the sewing machine screwdriver, some nails, a file, the picture wire and a coal shovel •” "No, indeed; Arthur didn’t ask for a coal shovel at all!" interrupted the bride, with very- pink cheeks. "1 don't see how you knew he wanted the other tilings, tho!" “They always v ant all those things!" said the long married lady. “It docs not in the least matter whether a husband is repairing little Johnnie's toy engine, putting a new toiler on Hie icebox or fixing a door lock—iie always has to have tlio.-e things and the stepladder besides. He never by any chance uses file sieplavlder. but he likes lo have it handy to look at. It seems to lend him moral support, too. Whan he gets to the point in his repair work where he has got to vent his helpless rage at inanimate Hiings either hy sweating or hy making people step around lively, ho always yells for somebody to bring him the stepladder! Tie feels busier and more effeitive, too, if he can spill a pint of tacks and a pound of nails all over the floor, and a box of those horrible two prosed brads makes him delirious with delight. I remember that 1 used to extract brads from Jimmie in his creeping days for weeks and weeks after the father had been a help around the house and repaired everything. Jimmy got so he thought they grew on him naturally, and lie objected >n surprise at Muir removal. "Besides, when a man repairs anything it upsets the household machinery for so long and maki t tilings so inconvenient! 1 remember just as well the time we found the drain from the laundry tubs frozen and Hie washerwoman due next day. 1 was going downstairs to fix it when Henry leaped to his feet and told me to be sealed. lie said that he’d have that pipi thawed out in a jiffy by using his gasoline blow lorrh he loves to play with. "The cook and 1 found Hie blow torch hidden beneath all Hie porch furniture in the storeroom ami thru there was no gasoline, so Jimmie had to run live blocks and bring some. When Henry filled the tlow torch some fluid must have run or leaked out, because when ho brought the match near the thing burst into a Vesuvius of Lame and scorched off all his eyebrows and the cook s tuuk hair and 1 ruined a blanket extinguishing them. “Henry emerged from the conflagration and he said he was going to ufnkc that blamed torch wurk or di'-, so ho took ,it out on the back steps and caught u culd that lasted six weeks, lie finally made tho instrument behave and then he began thawing thw pipe. When the lime arrived that (ailed him to his ollice he had set fire to the wood casing twice said melted one pipe completely, and I believe tlic plumber's bill was sixteen dollars, and wo iost our laundress in tho bargain, because-sbe disliked having her day’s work interfered with in the least. The laundry was a chaos id plumbers’ tools and pipes and wires and things for a week t.uil completely unavailable. "The no.xt time in my career when the laundry tubs froze I knew better than ;o wail in Henry’s direction—1 poured seme hot water and salt down the pipes end adjusted the difficulty. "I could tell you many more affecting tab ;, but this ought to be enough If you have a grain of human intelligence in your makeup!" “My goodness!" gasped the bride. “It is."’ Oh, do you .suppose I still Favc a chance to encourage uty husband to bo helpless about home?"

I help take the tire out of tire trouble w * - Chesterfield

TlGIiT UP! Atta boy! Even T—J the toughest job seems eas'er if you can “draw” on Chesterfield. Those fine Turkish and D??nestic tobaccos and that exclusive Chesterfield blend “satisfy” as no other blend ever did before. Once taste^ that flavor, and you ’ll know why the Chesterfield Mend is a guarded secret that cannot be copied or even closely imitated. Look for the moisture-proof pr.ckoge that keeps the flavor in r ad the weather out- another reason for Chesterfield's unvarying good quality.
