BE Sure It's Your Wife and Then go
Ahead.
Last night two buggies stopped
at the Capital hotel and two gen.
tlemen jumped out almost stimuli
taneously and went into the hotel,
leaving two ladies in their respec-
tive buggies. One of the men
came out in advance of the other
and by the uncertain light thrown
from the hotel was led aside from
the actual fact in the little matter
of getting in the right buggy. In
a word, Mr.. j got in with Mrs.
F., who were as totally un-
known to each other, so far as ac-
quaintancesbip is concerned, as il
one had died ten years ago in Af-
rica and the other hadn't been born.
AS married men often do, Mr.. j
drove some distance before speak
ing. Finally he remarked:
"I've got corn on my toe-the
one you persist in putting your
foot on, too-tbat hurts about as
bad as the common run Of things
generally do"
The lady was very much sur
prised and rather haughtily repli-
ed:
"You've been trying to pick a
quarrel with me all day and now to
make the matter more exasperating,
you change your voice to an un-
natural growl."
"It's you, madam, who have
changed. My voice is natural. l
am not trying to to assume any
thing. You screech like an old
gate"
"You're an old fool"
"Give my teeth here you shan't
wear them another minute"
"Teeth teeth What in the
world do you meant"
But just then driving through a
food of light, the parties recogniz-
ed that they didn't recognize.
"Madam," said Mr.. j., stop
ping the horse and Strengthening
himself up, 81 hope you will cx-
cuse me, but l would like to know
how you came in my buggy, and
furthermore I'd like a little intel
ligence as regards the where
abouts of my wife. What have
you done with her, madami"
81 don't know what you mean,
sir. Get out of my buggy"
"Your buggyl Why, madam,
you're beside yourself
"Yes, and beside yourself, which
fact deplore to such an extent
that l will be forced to call the
police"
"Policel policel" was shouted
Justify and when officer Daley came
to the spot the woman insisted on
the mans arrest.
The buggy was driven back to
the Capital in time to meet anoth-
er buggy, the occupants of which
had a similar experience.
