Vfr, this particular day. with the election returns to furnlph excite ment for the evening, It won't do any particular damage to get your mind off political questions for a few min utes. Theerfore, we hate decided to devote this entertaining column to other topics, although the tempta. tion to dwell on the foibles of the candidates is strong within us. To begin with, here Is some statistical Information concerning a year In the life of a Texas editor half a cen tury ""o. The careful reader wilt mote the reference to such things as wui.iky and gin. which shows that the clipping can lay claim to a cer tain degree of antiquity.

For pure, unadulterated humor and all the better because It is .so unconscious we commend the re plies made by a bevy of male men. members of a Methodist congregation In Kansas City K. C, Mo., to be exact. The pastor of that church has novel ideas about arousing Interest In his services, and a short time ago the pastor sent out questionnaires to the bachelors in his congregation. The unmarried men were asked to give their ideas of what an Ideal wife. should be. The chief requisite of an ideal wife, according to the thirty men who answered, is that she be a good cook. Every one of the men placed this requirement at the head of the is I list Some of the replies to the qus tlWAs were solemn and showed evi dence of deadly sincerity; others S'ele flippant. It is worth while. Just ffow, to go over them, and every arrled man can see now the wife of lils bosom compares with the Kan. a City standard. r, FOUR HUNDRED OF THE BEST MONUMENTS in the Alliance cemetery were built by the Paine-Fishburu Uranite pany.

"I have had, too much Rood cook ing at home to tolerate burned eggs, heavy biscuits and other culinary failures," wrote one eligible, . who evidently is living at home with mother and dad. Home life was the second major requirement of the men folks, ac cording to the questionnaires. Of the thirty men who filled out the ques tionnaires, twenty.seven placed this as second In importance. With almost complete unanimity, the men condemned the' butterfly type as wives. "They are attractive, and nice to play with, but as. a wife nothing doing," .one prospective husband wrote in his questionnaire. Ixiud laughter from the congregation greeted this quip when read. A questionnaire from a confirmed "male flirt," the Itev. Mr. llaunian being authority for the appellation, described an ideal home minutely, and set out that no woman or girl easy to get acquainted with would fill his requirements as an Ideal wife. The "clinging vine" was likewise condemned. Capable women Beenied much In demand, if the ten question naires dealing with the clinging vine type are to be believed. The type is not condemned as a type, but simply does not qualify aH a wife. The question of children was next In Importance on the questionnaires. The men were not so delicate in touching upon this phrase of mar ried life as the girls were In their quest iennaires last week, and were all unanimous in the opinion tli.it married life, to be successful, should Include children. 'A home is not complete without hlldren," one prospeclive father wrote In his questionnaire, aptly summing up the general sentiment of 11 fifteen who dealt with the sub ject. Font teen girls answered this qu 's ion ir. describ! t' their ,!'eal of ti ?r- rled life last week, and the majority were neutral on the subject. The en, without equivocation, stated In their questionnaires that the woman who did not wish for children failed measurably in measuring up to the Ideal.

And good looks also are required of the ideal wife. Not beauty, but neatness in appearance is one of the requisites. Good health was another requisite Only girls in possession of health can measure up to the ideal, according to the questionnaires. Great surprise was manifest, not only by the pastor, but by the con gregation, by the attitude voiced as to the use of rouge. Of the twenty men out of the thirty who touched upon this matter, all stated they did not object to a little color. "No real man wants an imitation wife, but sometimes a little rouge does help," one man wrote. dirt Is "Best" Flour and corn meal. O'llnimoii Jt Neuswmiger. 07 HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
