She Wouldn't Give Up.

One of the Detroit sanitary polio,
was the other day wandering over s
box-full of dead cats in an alley off
Seventh street, when he heard oath,
and yells and the sounds of conflict
In house near by. As he entered
the yard a man and woman burst
open the side door and rolled down
the steps in a heap, kicking and
clawing with right gool will.
What is the trouble here?" asked
the officer as he pulled them apart.
"There, I'm glad you happened
alongl' exclaimed the man as he
jumped up. "Tho old woman and
Inc have had dispute for the last ten
or fifteen years as to when Christie
pher Columbus discovered America
Maybe you know"
ut was in 1892" replied the Of
fcer.
Just what said--just the date |
hadl' cried the husband as he danced
around. "Now then, old woman,
will you give up?"
"Never!'
"You WON'T"
mot an inchl 1 said 1870, and l
had your neck across the edge of the
step! We agreed not to bite or
scratch, and l prefer to renew the
conflict G rather than take strangers
fgurcsl Come in the housed"
The officer waited at the gate until
he heard two chairs smashed down
and dozen yells, and he resumed
his rounds with growing conviction
that Columbus would ultimately be
two years ahead in that house.
