UNAPPRECIATED GALLANTRY.
A Brutal Husband-An Abused Wife.
and a Gallant Young Clerk.

4 ouarrelsome husband and wife
have been likened 10 pair of scissors.
| The two blades move in contrary
directions. and often clash with each
other. but whatever comes between
them gets the worst of the bargain. So
it proved with cur young friend whom
we shall call Blank. who was returning
from visit to his girl Sunday night,
down near the Normal. Passing GER
tain little house his attention was ar
rested by terrible urroar within, ac-
companied by the rattle of broken
crockery. the screeching Of woman
in distress. and the occasional bass ex-
pletive of a male voice. Suddenly the
door opened. the disheveled form OF a
woman was forcibly elected and the
door slammed shut. The night was
cold and the woman was thinly clad.
and IN piteouS tones she appealed TO
Blank tor protection. Could he refuse
nary time. In this Blanks youth
and greennesS became apparent at once
Assisted by the little woman the door
was forced open and they both entered.
Fired with Indignation young Blank
proposed to give Mr.. Brute q drubbing
there and then for striking woman
All wife heaters are notorious towards
and the aforesaid brute covered Ike
a whipped spaniel. Not so his better
half. With flashing eyes. she turned |
upon her would be protector like an
euraged tigress you shan't hurt my |
poor. dear. good husband, you nasty |
and she snatcLed yiciously /
at his lurnsides-those burnsides he
had nursed 10, these many months.
Only a hasty retreat saved them.
Thoroughly Disguised young Blank
vows never to interfere in a family
fight hereafter.
