The next morning, Mrs. Hodges was pal,
up and sent off

The next morning, Mrs. Hodges was paid
up, and sent off.
At 10 o'clock, the marketing was sent up.
At o'clock, Major Hunter made his
appearance. The dinner table was set,
though with scarcely as much neatness as
usual. Still it was set, and by Mrs. Hunter.
Her husband thought of this as a personal
triumph on his part.
He hardly felt so comlacent when the din
ner came up. The beef was terribly over-done,
the potatoes were, on the contrary not done
enough In short there was nothing fit to
eat on the table.
This Major Hunter angrily remarked.
81 dare say" said his wife,placidly," am
not very good cook"
With his appetite only half-satIsfed
Major Hunter was obliged to rise from the
table.
The next morning breakfast was delayed
an hour and when it was ready. scarcely
eatable. Major Hunter was quite out of
humor; but in reply to his indignat remon-
strances, his wife coolly remarked, "You
know, Mr.. Hunter, 1 warned you that was
a very poor cook"
For three days Major Hunter stood fire,
but finding things deteriorated rather than
improved sent for Mrs. Hodges on the fourth.
One point gained, Mrs. Hunter found it
easier to maintain her rights when invaded
in other quarters. She, perhaps, owed her
success to the fact that she never trenched
upon her husbands real prerogatives, but re-
spected them as she claimed respect for her
own. Major Hunter stands fair chance OF
being cured of his taste for domestic tyranny,
through the independent stand taken by Mrs
Hunter Number Two.

Mrs. Hunter smiled,
There's nothing like beginning right"
said the Major, as be struck his cane firmly
on the sidewalk. IF Mrs. Hunter married
me with the idea Of having an easy time, she
is quite mistaken. If she expects to be a lazy
fine lady, she will find i: difficult in my es-
tablishment. / don't intend to encourage
female characterization. 1 believe the man
was made to govern, the wife to obey. If
more husbands had my frmness, things
would go on little better in the world. But
it isn't everybody that has my tact of govern
ing"
Meanwhile, Mrs. Hunter, left at home,
summoned Mrs. Hodges.
so hear my husband has given you
weeks warning"
Eyes ma'am."
"And you are sorry to leaveT
'Yes maam; for L don't know where to
get another place, and 1 have to pay the
board of my little boy out of my wages"
"There's considerable work to be done in
this house, isn't there?"
"Yes ma'am, a good deal. Then Mr..
Hunter is so particular, that he wants to have
everything just so. That's why I'm sorry to
go Just as You come. know you're easy to
suit"
''How do you know2" asked Mrs. Hunter,
smiling.
81 can see it 0y your face, ma'am. 1t
looks so good-natured.'
''Do you know who Major Hunter expects
to get to I'LL your place after you are gomez"
"No ma'am"
'He thinks can do all the work.
"What, and you not used 20 work. 1t
would make you sick in week"
81 think very likely it would"
"Oh, and l pity you, ma'am."
'No occasion for that. Mrs. Hodges. The
fact is, have not the slightest idea of doing
the work"
"You haven't? and what will the Major
say?"
81 really don't know. know what l
shall advise him to do"
''And what is that2"
''To take you back again"
'Oh, ma,am, you'll never stand out against
him."
"See if don't. At any rate, you mustn't
secure place till you hear from me again"
"No NAM"

Arrears Of Pension-Additional Bounty-More
Time Likely to be Allowed.

Our readers are generally aware for they have been
peatedy notified of the fact that under the provisions of
the pension law of January 25 1879 pensions for the
late only dated from the discharge or death of the
soldier if applied for before July 1880 If the claim
was not filed prior To that date, pension only COM
mence from the date of filing the application. Now,
in conversation with influential members of Congress of
both political parties during the last session. gathered
the impression that at the next meeting of Congress
the time for filing in order to the amount due from
date of the discharge death Of the soldier will be
extended Soldiers let candidates for the House of Rep
resentatves in all parts of the country understand your
wishes i'm regard to this matter. Forward then, your
claims as usual in order that they may be speedily taken
up when Congress aforesaid grants this extension No
statutes of limitation should defeat the rights of the men
who saved this Republic.
The act of Congress- approved July %, 1866 granting
additional bounty, also expired by limitation June 80
1885, but Congress has from time to time extended the
time for filing claims under SAID act, it is confidently
pected that that body will again do Dae notice of any
extension time for fling claims under the two acts re-
ferred to will bo given in THE TRIBUNE

How He Sold His Sow,

There are various ways of showing one's

tions at the theatre, one good method being
to fire tho ill-bred person bodily over therail
into the orchestra. Perhaps, however, the
gentlest way IL the best, and abates the NUS
ance soonest, as the following little incident
will show; Tho other evening, while the
audience at Baldwin were industriously sniy-
cling at the fluctuations of "Coralie," a
couple of San Mateo rustics, sitting in the
front row of the dress circle, began an earnest
discussion as to the merits of u certain prize
SOW recently purchased by one Of them. AS
tho controversy waxod louder gentleman
who sat behind tho takers reached over, and
touching oneof them ON the arm, whispered
Excuse mo, my friend, but how much is
that SOW worth p
The farmer stared for moment and finally
said:
g About twelve dollars, s'pose."
" Exactly" said the gentleman, taking out
his pockethook and rendering greenback.
:" Here Is u twenty. Now, that tho SOW 4
mine, just let her alone, if you please"
The neighboring audience snickered, and
although the crestfallon c0untryman made q
CHASTITY attempt to turn the tide Of the sar-
casm hy pookotng the note and handing owen
eight dollars change, the snub was crushing
in It's eii,lI, and in the dead silence that fol
LEVIED all eyes were turned admiringly ON the

and modestly enjoyed his popularity.
