Degenerate Solomon Swallow! Nay,
in after times, when the Swallows
began to gather about him, it is
whispered that his better half used
to employ himat yet more deeply con-
jugal offices.
About five years after the cele.
braticn of his nuptials, a friend called
to see him.
"You must 60 with me to the
theatre, Mr.. Swallow" "ssaid a friend.
"He shan't," said Mrs. Swallow
"EIe must" said theSfriend, sand
so must YOU"
81 may, but he can't replied the
dame, ':for he must stoPat homo with
the children"
And Mrs. Swallow did 90 20
the play, and Solomon stopped
at home. SsSs.
Q, hcn-pccked Solomon Swallow!
The moral of this authentic tale is
that bachelors wives and old maids
children" are always excellent in
theory, but us bad as can be in prac.
ticc-and that managed wife is bet
ter than no wife at all. Had Solomon
only treated his better half decently in
the beginning, things might have
gone Oh smoothly to the end, but as
it was, he compelled hersto be Tar.
ter in her own defence; he had to take
the consequences.
