place where digression unnecessary repeti-

liavi an idea the client will not think he

The Cook Stove
By Howard L Rann.
The cook stove is a horrible example of
man's inhumanity to Woman. Sonctim's
when placed in the hands of a young bride
who learned everything al eolb'gi- .-. .-jt
how to linsli brown potatoes it become an
object lesson of Woman's uilmimmin to ni.ui
The world is full of bilious husbands who
married some priw winner in the Latin
course and woke up later to Hud that while
.she could pin the- shoulders of a 15 reek rout
to the mill three times out of live she didn't
know whether a uook stove could bo Marled
from the seal or had to be uranklcd with a
half hitch.
In a nowly estublishod home Whieli is fill-
ed with love and inslnllmcnt fufuilure the
coi.k .stoic is used for the first few years us
a domestic science experiment Motion. As
nearly all rook stoves are made o heot
iron 'tliey do not feel these experiments
nearly so much as the rest of the fuiuilj
IT there were more hheot-iron stomachs in ex-
istence there would be fewer round trip
tickets sold to Rono.Xovodii with six woiuhs
stop-over.
The cook stove is a simple affair and sel-
dom requires hoy more care than a si.s-ej lm-
der automobile- It is so constructed Hint
anyone can start a fire in it the first time by
the simple expedient of substjt'rliut: irasolirie
for kerosene. As a rule the rook stove has
to hoj lired up every morning and this is a
wifely duly which should be included in the
marriage ritual along with love cherish and
obey Failure to attend to this on the part
Of enraptured and short-sighted bride-
grooms often results in the mournful specta-
cle of eiubillured hubbies leaving a Warm
bed at an unearthly hour and groping
around in a sepuchral wood-shed after kind-
ling in their pajamas.
One of the principal functions or the cook
stove is lo heat water for the bath room. It
dichargc this fund ion with great enthusi-
asm for the member of the family who gets
to the balh tub first after which it yields an
icy product that would build chilblains on
an Antarctic explorer. In summer the uook
siove does not heat water or anything else
which accounts for the increasing popularity
of the bathing beach and the fonr-minutu
sponge off.
