friend Bill kins, down in Lower Gold
Hill, Is having a little rough time Of it
at present. His wife is spunky enough,
but these cold nights makes her ner-
vous. Last night, for instance, she
heard strange noises, and, as usual,
knew it was a burglar trying to rob
and set fire to the house. "Blif., my
DEAR" remarked she, gently driving
her pretty little elbow through u
couple of his ribs, and scratching a
few small outlets OIL his right leg with
her lovely toenails just to arouse him,
"there's a man in the room; | al hear
him shuttle and grit his teeth. Why
don't you get up? Here's the matches;
strike a light" Blif. shivered out OF
his warm nest In his thin night shirt,
and with the lighted candle proceeded
to interview that mythical burglar
once more. He drowslly CROPPED and
bumped about, and down stairs into
the kitchen, and just after he had
tumbled over the slop-pail and was
trying to console the cat he had Grip
pied In his fall, his wife shouted. "here
he Is! come up here quick! I've
got him In the corner" Poor Bill.

big rat. He's been trying to gnaw OIL
the legs of my sewing machine, n

whitfS and snutiles. Hit him, Blif!"
The rat made a rush past, and Bill
shot him with the fire shovel just as
his wife got in a good lick across his
own tender LEFT shin bone with the
broom handle, and as the rat rushed
~unscathed out through a hole In the
e window, Blif smashed the wash
bowl and pitcher after him, and his
wife went zone for his mob" with the
