shine,

From tho Detroit Free Press,
Shea n little bit Of u woman, all
patience and sunshine, aud Id spoil
the best silk hat money could buy
for the privilege Of lending her my
umbrella IN rain storm
She's married, and she's got an
old rhinoeeros Of u husband, lle
makes II practice 10 come home
tight at eleven o'clock every other
night, and hus for years, and no
cant rcNember that she ever gave
him II cross word about IL, When
he falls into the hall rho Is waiting
TO close the door and help him back
TO the sitting room, whore II good
fire awaits him, She draws Off his
boots, unbuttons his collar, helps
him Off with his coat, and all tho
timo she ia saying;
"Poor Henry How sorry ! nm
that you had this attack Of vertigo !
am afraid that you will DO found
dead by the roadside some night
"Whazzor mean by verzhigo ~ no
growls, but she helps him oil with
his vest, and pleasantly continues;
"l'm so glad you got home all
right ! hope tho day will come
when you can pass more OF your
time at homo. 1t is dreadful how
your business drives you"
'"Whoz bizshness--whaz ycr talk.
ing 'bout2 ?" he replies,
"Poor one-how hot your head
il |" she continues, and presently lac
breaks down and weeps, and ex-
claims
"Yez zur-zic's a'orsc-wcaring
zelf out fhast's can---wshzi was
dead !"
Next morning she never refers to
the subject, but pleasantly inquiries
how he slept, and if his mind is
cloar. His boots may be missing,
and he yells out .
"Whar'n thundcr's my bootsY'
Right here, my DEAR" she re-
plies, and she hands them out, all
nicely blackod up 3
If she wants u dress, or u hat, or
cloak, and he yolls out that house
hold expenses are eating him up,
she never "sasses' him back, nor
tells him she could have married II
congressman, nor declares that she
will write to her mother and tell her
just how it is.
"That's so, my dear, times are
hard she says, and she gets up Just
as good dinner as if he had left
her fifty dollars.
He may come home tight at sup
per time, but she is not shocked.
She remarks that it is an unexpect-
ed pleasure to have him home so
early, and she pretends not to notice
his stupid look. He secs three
chairs where there is but one, and
in trying to sit down he strikes the
floor like the fall of derrick.
"Whazzer jaw That chair way
for?" he yells, and she replies:
"It's that hole in the carpet
knew you would stumble y and she
helps him up and brings him a
strong cup of tea.
They do not keep a servant, and
when cold weather came she never
thought of planking herself down
in a chair opposite MIN, and saying
Snow then, you'll get up and light
the fires or there won't be any
liuhted-mark that, old baldhoad; /"
No, she didn't resort to any such
base and tyrannical measures,
When daylight comes, she slips out
of bed, makes two fires, warns lis
socks, and then, bending over him,
she whispers:
"Arise, darling, and greet the
festive morn u
He's sick sometimes, and I've
known that woman to coax him for
two straight hours to take the doc
tors medicine, turn over his pillow
twenty-five times, keep u wet clotl
on his head, pare his corns down
and then wish that she had a quar-
to make him some soup When he
gets into a fight down town ant
comes home with his ears bitten nj
and his nose pointed to the north
east, she inquiries how the hors'
happened to run away with him
and she says she is so thankful tina
he wasn't killed. She has an eS
cuse for anything, and she neve
admits that any enc but herself is t
blame about anything Lor' bles
