A shrew on Her Muacle.

An East Dallas woman made mat
tiers warm for her husband yesterday
morning, all just because he objected
to making Attire in the kitchen stove to
get dinner. AT first she attempted to
bulldoze her liege lord by threatening
that he should have no dinner, but
when he told her that he did not wish
any, and that he had just eaten large
twenty-five cent watermelon aud did
not feel hungry In the least 1t was
too much for the shrew, and she flew
at him with q broom with the fury Of
wild cat, and belabored the old gent
fearfully. After the storm there was Q
shower ss usual, the better half weep.
ing over the wreck she had wrought.
At his earnest request no arrest was
made, and peace and happiness again
reign.
