The neighborhood of Ninth and l.
Streets, says the Washington Sunday
Herald, was thrown into a state Of ex-
element yesterday morning by an infu-
rated middle-aged female clothed in
BLACK, with short red hair, and armed
with an interesting-looking cowhide,
with which, with fiendish delight, she
cut the air right and left, as she bowled
along at ten-knot speed. Hating in
front Of n respectable-looking house,
she attracted the attention Of its in
mates by throwing brick against the
door. Half a dozen heads were thrust
out of as many windows, among them
that Of well known young gentleman
recently married. The excited woman
observed this, secreted her cowhide,
and with sanity smile said:
tom, come down here; would
speak with you a moment"
Thomas complied with the request,
and, accompanied by his blushing
young bride, opened the door and con-
fronted his visitor. That ancient insti-
ta;ion cleared the front steps at one
bound, caught Tommy's left ear I'm a
firm grip and began to belabor him I'M
mercifully. saying as she did 50:
You young wretch You puppy
You ungrateful whelpl (WhackD Got
married, did you? Run of from your
mother and marries that gal there, do
YOU? (Whackl whack, whackO Now,
sir. Jest git yer things ready (whack)
and come home, III let yer know that
until yer are twenty-one (whack) yer
amt going ter git out Of my clutches ~
(Whack.)
Toms wife rushed 10 his assistance
al this juncturc, saying:
"Tom, my darling, slap her good,
and come in"
Eui Tom tearfully replied. a. an ex
ira sharp cut landed on his neck:
+" can't, my (ouch) darling; mother
saws mustn't" Meekly he descended
the steps, and was led of BY his mann
ma, followed BY a large crowd. The
newly made bride went into the house
slammed the door, and quiet reigned
