I man to his spouse one evening this
week, as they were returning, weary
and cross, from their church fair,
Il hope you are satisfied

snappishIy.
Satisfied at the expense you have
pat me to in this affair" said he.
The woman wisely kept still, and
he continued:
"Here they made me pay for sup

Still the wife kept her silence, and
the husband kept on:

twenty of those pin-cushions and
bo0k-mark institutions that you
have been wearing your eyes upon

and worse than all, | never got a
thing out of the lottery grab-bag
except little hickory-nut dolls, such
as I've seen lying around at home
until I've felt like numbering some
one, they make me feel SO sick"
Yet the wise little woman sup
pressed any motion of her tongue,
and as the two went into their home
gate, the masculine voice broke out
again, anC died out with the angry
words:
Il bet the COMPOUNDED old festival
has cost me out of my pocket twenty
dollars, if cent !"
"Well, well,' replied the tired out
little woman at last, with a deep
sigh, "you should be thankful its
no worse, 1t wasn't my doings-it
was all the getting up of Matilda
Jane Scrubbins, to show herself off,
and she, | noticed, got all the fun

days it often causing tue men to faint;

A KANSAS DEFAULTER.

A DEFAULTING POSTMASTER FROM
THAYER, KANSAS, ARRESTED IN THIS
CITY.
Several months ago ]. NJ. Sherwood,
then postmaster at Thayer, Kansas, de-
faulted to extent of about $500, and fed
eastward, accompanied by his wife. He
took up his residence in this city, where
he has relatives.
In August, last Deputy Marshal from
Leavenworth, Kansas, in which city Shar-
wood was indicted ON the suit of his
srreties, traced the fugitive to this city,
He was rather incautious in his move
ments, however, and Sherwood became
aware of his presence and again fed
Later Special Agent Crowell, of Atchison,
Kansas, came on with copy of the in
dictment against Sherwood, which, with
a copy of the warrant for his arrest, he
left with Marshal Dunn. ......
Last Wednesday evening Marshal
Dunn saw Sherwood, whom he recogniz-
ed by photograph, promenading Market
street with his wife. That evening he
quietly arrested him and has since had
him confined in the City Hall cells. To-
day at noon, in accordance with instruc-
tions received, he started with the priso
ner for Leavenworth, Kansas, where
Sherwood will be tried.
