of her tongue of in the first days trial,
swapping up the harsh words which tried TO
escape her lips. But both were dsmally
peaceable until the afternoon Of the Second
day when the husband flew into passion
simply because one Of the children polish

while he was taking his usual nap. At the
first burst Of anger his wife quickly arose
and put on her bonnet.

suspiciously.

Mr.. Nibbs had scarcely recovered from

poor gentleman WAS doomed to be the re-
cpient of far more painful batch Of con-

One morning, at the breakfast table, Mrs.
Nibbs informed Mr.. Nibbs that the grape
vine was in a shocking state, and sadly
needed trimming. She also requested HIM
to perform the operation.
He refused.
After a spirited debate, during which tho
kitchen table was overturned, and Mr..
Nibbs received well buttered pancake
square between the eyes. he finally con-

with boy-like agility. rapidly ascended the
arbor. He had almost reached the top
when an accident occurred.
One of the Stats gave way, and he fell
gracefully downward.
Mr. Nbbs, with great presence of mind,
clutched frantically at tho sky, but missed
his grab. and succeeded in planting his
head. up to the ears, in the grass plot.
Hastily regaining his feet he Eazed search
ingly about in order to see if his downfall
had been observed by the pryinS eyes of

interruption.

went wigs linz through the back basement

Nibbs is Il man Of great resolution, and,
nothing daunted by tne sad rcbuEs he had
experienced, he proceeded to mount t'le ar

agility, however.
He reached the top again, and began
work. Every thing went along swin.mingly
for a while, and he thought to himself what

opinion was soon altered however.

when a large hook intercepted his flight.
The said hook buried itself into the bay
window of his pant lloons, but rs the mate
