NV Wife's Bridal Tour.

When I married my second wife.
she was dredful set about going off
on a bridal tour, l told her she had
better wait six months or year
and I'd try and so with her but she
said she'd rather 60 alOne-when a
woman was travelling man was an
out and out humbug.
So l gave her seventy.five cents
and told her to go out and have a
good time. ] never begrudge mon
ey when my wife's happiness is con-
cerned. My first wife never could
complain of not going anywhere,
for Pm dreadful fierce to go off on a
good time myself, and always was.
l don't pretend to say how many
time | took her out to see the en-
CINE squirt-and there was no end
to the free lectures l let her go to.
The neighbors used 10 say: SIT
does beat all how them SINNERS
do 60"
When Signor Blitz was in Skunk
vile with his wonderful canaries,
he gave my wife a complimentary
ticket. l not only sold that ticket
for my wife, but gave her half the
money. l don't boast of it though;
1 only mention i: to show how much
I thought of my wife's happiness.
don't think any man ought to
get married till he can consider his
wife's happiness only second to his
own. John Wise a neighbor of
mine, did thusly, and when ! got
married l concluded I'd do like
Wise.
But the plan didn't work in the
case of my second wife. No ] should
say not. preached the subject very
kindly.
"Matilda," said, ~ suppose you
are aware that / am now your lord
and MASTER"
"Not much you hain't," said she
"Mrs. Skinner l replied, "you
are fearfulIy demoralized. You need
reorganizing at once. You are
cranky" And l brandished my
new sixty-two cent umbrella wildly
around her.
She took the umbrella from me,
and locked me in the clothes press.
I am quick to draw an inference,
and the inference 1 drew here was
that was not success as a reor-
ganizer of female women.
After this l changed my tactics.
I let her have her own way; and
the plan worked like charm from
the very first. It's the best way OF
managing a wife know of. or
course this is between you and me,
So when my wife said she was
bound to 60 off on a bridal tour
and how, l cheerful!y assenred.
$50, Matilda" said l, ''and stay
as long as you want to; then, if
you feel as though you would love
to stay a little while longer why,
stay, my dear, stay"

The committee appointed by the
New York and Brooklyn Associa
ton of Congregational Ministers
has issued its "inyitatiOns" for evil
dence. 1t calls on "any parties be.
lieved or protesting to have evi.
dence or any knowledge of evidence,
not already investigated before the
civil court, to present the same be-
fore the commission" Those who
have scandal to shed should prepare
to shed it now. We will wager the
first "subsidiary" silver coin that
comes into our possession that those
people most loudly protesting to
have evidence or knowledge of evi,
dence will not favor the commission
with it. 1t is not their intention to
give up their capital for the creation
of scandal on any such terms.

A man named Drury, logger in

tendons of the tendons of the leg
severed by glancing blow of an ak,
yesterday, while engaged in chop
ping. He came to town with the
blood gushing from the wound, and
patiently sat down to await the COM
ing of the doctor, who was at sup
per when the patient called. The
wound was not of course dangerous
but necessarily painful, and we ap-
prehend that such stoicism under
trying circumstances is seldom OBJ
served.
