Jack and Jill
Jck, dfir, my good old Uncle Bill
wrote me that lie s planning to
come to the tity on a business trip.
Ilowebout kinff him to bring Aunt
Klinor with him?"
Jack wis actually startled.
"Why, I nvcr met them, dear. Yo
know what it will mean, don't you?
I've had country relative visit town
when I wai a bachelor and that wai
enough to Ust me a lifetime."
"But, Jack, Uncle Bill gave us our
lilver let. and it cost hundreds of
doltare ..."
"It would have, if it had not been
plated ... I know a hall-mark when
I see it and I know the plated goods,
too I never mentioned it to you, but
that silver set is a false alarm 1"
Jill was indignant as a bride of
less than a year could be. And some
times that is very, very indignant.
"There you go, insulting my rela
tives. Why, what did your relatives
(send us? Some old handpainted
hinaware, and a set of encyclopedias
that we never read, and some chairs
that you yourself said were so an
tique that they ought to be sent
to the fossil department of the
museum of natural history 1"
"There, there, honey I'm not wor
rying about the wedding presents."
Not even a kiss would mollify her,
however.
"I am delighted with the silver, or
near-silver, because I've eaten the
most wonderful food with it that was
ever cooked by the most wonderful
wife in the world."
Jill's eyes did soften at this. Then
Jack started on his own tack again.
"But, I know visting relatives.
They expect you to pay their carfare,
going and coming. They have lists
of the shows they read about in the
papers and far be it from such that
they should ever pay for a ticket.
Then they want to see Chinatown,
and the Ghetto and Coney Island and
every place in the town that is stpuid
ana tiresome.
"But I could take them there if I
knew the way. You wouldn't 'have
to!" .
"But I have always been the goat
who did have to. Nol No! I'm off
the relative stuff for life."
That was settled, but it still rank
led in Jill's heart.
Next atternoon Jack received a
telephone down at the office and the
f-ilverest voice in the world greeted
him. " 1
"We're invited to dinner, dear, and
then to a musical show afterwards
I'll be down in the auto for you and
meet you at your office building en
trance at five. ..."
There was a rattling of the phone
and they were cut off!
Jack could not get connected
again and a call to the home resulted
only in the information from the
cleaning woman that Jill had gone
to the city two hours earlier, to
meet some friends.
Promptly at five Jack sailed forth
from the office. . ,
In a big touring car which resem
bled a Pullman in its bulk and ex
pensive look sat Jill, between a very
fat and jolly old gentleman and a
smiling middle-aged lady.
"So this is Jack! Welcome to our
family, young man. Jill wasn't such
a bad judge after all!" was his greet
ing. .
"This is Uncle Ben and Aunt Eli
nor, Jack, dear,"' said Jill happily.
"They motored to New York, and
have given me the most wonderful
ride all around New Kork.
"Yes I haven't been here for twen
ty years so I hit all -the old land
marks. But the town has changed.
Chinatown, the Bowery, Coney
Island, the Goddess of Liberty, all
are changed. So we're going home
tomorrow, as it only took half an
hour for me to put my deal
through,"
They had a wonderful dinner
fifty dollars was the check which
Uncle Billy blithely paid. The show
was wonderful, and Jack readied
that the teat must nave cost a
shocking price, for Uncle Bill bought
them from a speculator at the door.
Another gorgeous supper, with
dances for Jack and Jill together on
a wonderful floor and they were
deposited at the depot in time for the
very last train home..
"Sorry I won't see you again,
Nephew Jack. But I am going back
home tomorrow morning. You and
Jill save your vacation and spend it
up on my stock farm regular turn
nicr hotel it is without the guests
and profittering. I'll expect a two
week visit" from you. Don't for
Ret!"
As they rode out, Jill peeped up at
Jack, from her place against his
shoulder. "Do you think we ought
to accept and visit? He's a rela
tive !"
Jack gulped. Then he nodded. He
was actually embarrassed.
"Well, he would not have any
carfare to pay for us on farm.
Let's gol"

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Cheer Up I
It is so easy to become cynical,
suspicious, envious and disagreeable.
And why?
The span of life is short.
So short, we cannot, should not,
waste any of it
The cynic, fails to get the joy he
should possess because he is sus-
Picious: . , , , .
Suspicion carries with it cold
aloofness and that does not make
friends.
Envy and disagreeable thoughts
take the biggest toll from the person
so afflicted.
The disagreeable, dissatisfied per
son makes others unhappy, but hurts
himself the most because there can
be no sunshine under a cloud of
morbid thoughts.
Of course, everyone has trials and
some heartaches, but there is no use
in trying to prolong the stayno
use in making an effort to retain
them.
While we are making this earthly
trip let us be good sports.
Let us 6eek to make our fellow
companions on life's voyage happier
because we are going along, travel
ing the road together.
The things which bring happiness
spring from the heart and happiness
makes us stronger, better, more hu
man and rational.
And if we have joy we scatter it.
