A LADY in this city (says the Marquette
JournaD suspected that her husband
was in the habit of kissing Katy, the
cook, and resolved to detect him in the
act. After watching for days she heard
him come in one evening and quietly
pass through into the kitchen. Now
Katy was out that evening and the
kitchen was dark. Burning with jeal-
ousy the wife took some matches ip her
hand, and hastily placed her shawl over
her head, as Katy sometimes did, enter
ed the kitchen by the back door, and
was almost immediately seized and em.
brsced In the most ardent manner. With
her heart almost bursting with rage
and jealousy the injured wife prepared
10 administer terrible rebuke to her
faithless spouse. TeaIing herself from
his embrace, she struck a match, and
stood face to face with the hired man.
Her husband Gays his wife has never
treated him so well since the Arst month
they were married as she has for the
past few days.
