One of the women—a Widow
was a veritable giantess,
powerfully built, almost as
strong as a borse, Her rival,.
Martha, was on the small side.
They both loved a butcher,
eelge was fairly well off. Put

Feeling she was losing the
battle, the widow invited Mar-
thet to her cottage. No sooner
was her rival inside than she
seized her from behind, flung
her down, and tore off her
clothes. Then she pUshecl her
out into the wintry night, and
as she went hurled a couple
of pails of icy water over her,
"Perhaps that'll teach you to
leave my man alone!" she snarl-

HER COMPLAINT
Dr. Pullman, the society den-
tist, tried desperately to soothe
his richest but most difficult pa-
tient, a Mrs. Gruber, "Don't
shake your arms like a sema-
phore and make those faces at
me," he begged. "I haven't even
started drilling yet," "I know
you haven't," said Mrs. GrulDer,
"but you're standing on my
corns."

How To Bag

CANADA'S 'FINEST
CIGertRETTE
Needed Stimulant
A familiar character on' Wall
Street some years ago was a
colorful broker named P o p
Schwed. Pop loved nothing bet-
ter than to reel off aprocryphal
tales of his youth in the wide-
open town of Goldfield, Nevada,
jjust after the turn of the , cen-
tury. There was one • hellion
there, he recalled; who went ber-
serk every time he had six' drinks
inside of him, which was usually.
An itinerant medico persuaded
him that. if he didn't forswear
all hard liquor at Once he'd be
dead inside of two months. One
evening the reformed character
was in the toughest dive in Gold
field, disconsolately sipping a
beaker of ginger ale, when a
prospector sashayed to the bar
pumped his faithless wife and
her paramour full of lead, shot
out the lights as a parting ges-
ture, and vanished into the night.
The paralyzed silence that fol-
lowed was finally broken by pop
Schwed's reformed friend.
"Waiter," he barked hoarsely,
"for God's sake! A double order
of ham and eggs!"
A man was dismissed by his
employer, so he burned the fac-.,
tory down. A wife found her
husband with another w3man;
she attacked her so viciously
that her victim went to hos-
pital, "
Revenge! /
Next to love and hate, and'
possibly fear, it is the most
powerful emotion in the world.
It destroys both reason and
common sense, rouses primitive
passions which civilized beings
have learned to controls Carried
to extremes it becomes a form
of insanity. Terrible and almost
incredible are the depts to
which men and women sink
when their pride is hurt.
In a -London suburb there is
a girl who was once pretty but
whose face is now disfigured
with livid scars caused by re-
venge—the viciousness of the
young man she turned down.
For several months the two had
been on friendly terms. Then
he asked her to marry him. She
refused; he argued, At last to
placate him she agreed they
would spend as final evening
together.
On the way home he flung
vitriol in her face, miraculous-
ly without damaging her eyes.
"So much for your beauty!" lie
jeered. "Now -you'll never find
a husband!"
But vengeance needn't neces-
sarily take the form of violence.
A 'man I know was intensely
jealous of another who was ex-
tremely popular. He spread the
stor„ that the object of his dis-
like had been in jail for a par-
ticularly wicked affence. A
vicious lie, 'but it worked. In-
stead of being welcomed as us-
ual the v,ctim found himself
ostracized. Worried and puz-
zled, he sought the reason, and
was able to refute the horrible
accusation. But mud sticks. It
was too late to repair the
damage entirely.
One of the most frightful
tragedies of revenge occurred
in Arkansas. A farm-hand was
sacked for -associating with his
employer's youngest daughter,
a girl of sixteen. He shot the
father, the mother, the girl nee
self, and her two younger sla-
ters and brother. Then he com-
mitted suicide.
Another tragedy tools place in
Rome. Homeward hound from
his office, a clerk chatted to an
attractive typist who worked
• for the same firm, It was all
perfectly innocent, not even a
mild flirtation. But the girl
was married,, and when the train
stopped her husband Was wait-
ing on the platform. He saw
the two alight, .and jumped to
the wrong conclusion. He flared
up, lost his temper comnletely,
and 'pushed the clerk wider a
train,
Tn a peaceful country pub a
uumber of farrnworkers were
playing darts, Suddenly there
was an argument, "Von. never
could throw straight," one of
them sneered contemptuously.
He wee hi a nasty mood, Mid

Here, surely, is the strangest
sport of all — shooting eagles
from an aeroplane! It is some-
thing Australian woman pilot
Mrs. Charles Walton has had to
resort to in order to help a
friend whose sheep farm has
been the object of attacks by
wedge-tail eagles.
I3efore her marriage Mrs. Wal-
ton was Nancy Bird, one of Aus.
tralia's most distinguished wo-
man pilots. Recently she was
staying at a 55,000-acre sheep
farm at Ennis Downs, 900 miles
'north-west of Brisbane.
Her hostess was bemoaning
the loss of her sheep, so Nancy
decided on an unusual course of
action. She made openings in
the side of her plane, so that
she could fire shots through it,
took to the air, and in., her .first
outing "bagged". four,eagles.
Now owners of other home-
steads have taken . up the idea.
Seven light aircraft are now op-
erated by station-owners and
their wives in the Ennis Downs
area, which now has four air-
strips, a service station, and
fulltime aeronautical engineer,

tious. The two men fell for her
charms, and were soon suspi-
cious of each other. The girl was
highly. delighted. The situation
appealed to her vanity.
The climax came when her
two admirers were moving a
bull from one stall, to another.
Normally it was reasonably
docile, as bulls go. But sud-
denly it went' mad, pawed the
gound viciously, then charged
one of the men with savage
fury.
The victim was hurled into
the air, landed heavily on his
head—and died. It turned out
that the other man had deli-
berately infuriated the bull by
prodding it with a pitchfork.
A husband in a small Mid-
lands town resented -- of all
things — his wife going to
church. He himself preferred
to potter around the garden or
to read the Sunday newspapers.
Occupations for which y o u
would think his wife's presence
was scarcely necessary. Yet her
churchgoing 'annoyed him.
He hit on a plan. "No clothes,
no 'church," he thought. And so
on the following Sunday the
wife was unable to find any
suitable garments. Her husband
had hidden them in the potting-
shed.
She was puzzled and then
furious, guessed what had hap-
pened, But the husband had
underestimated a woman's de-
termination. She beat him—by
going to church in an old jumper
and a pair of slacks. Asked the
reason by her curious friends,
she told the truth. They were
sympathetic, and so was every-
body else., Her husband became
a laughing-stock.
In a very different case the
husband received the sympathy
and the wife the contempt.
After a quarrel a Frenchwoman
decided to teach her husband
' a lesson.
While he slept, she sawed
partly through his wooden leg.
Going down the stairs the fol-
lowing morning the unfortunate
man felt his false limb give
way, and he had a nasty tum-
ble. At the top of the stairs the
wife laughed melicanisly Others
were not amusci. The wife was
scorned by her neighbours.
Then there was the odd affair
of the office-boy who was tick-
ed off by 'the senior clerk, "I'll
have my revenge, you beast,"
he muttered darkly. Ease' to
talk. —but how? The boy solved
the problem—or so he thossht.
It was his job to fetch the tea.
He put a large dose of salts in
the senior cleric's -up.
The Man took a sip, made a
grimace, then causait the office-
boy watching him, and became
