A LOST HUSBAND.
Detroit Free Pr S.

Detroit Free Pross.
One of the officials of Justice allev was
lately waited on by q man who said his
name was Smith, and who volunteered the
further information that he was about to get
married. The only stumbling.block was
the fact that he would not agree to leave off
drinking. He had come to consult his
Honor On that point and zee what was adj
visable.
"Weil, I'd promise, I guess" replied
the justice. Its a bad habit, anyhow, and
the sooner you break j, the better"
"Well, l guess 1 will" answered the man
and he went out. In an hour he returned
and said
"What do you think? After I promised
that, she wanted me to promise to leave off
chawin' tobacco"
s.We.l I'd do that too" said his Honor.
at is another bad habit, and you'll feel all
the better for breaking it"
Smith vent away again, aud when he re"
turned he looked twice as aoleMn rs a frozen
white6sh.
"And now che wants me to promise to
atop swearing !! he gasped, al he fell into a
chair.
"Is she a nice woman ?" asked his
Honor.
sShe it,"
Sand you truly love her"
II do"
"Well, then, I'd stop swearing. 1t is a
senseless habit, anyhow, and you lose moth
ing BY promising"
The man concluded to promise, and
departed quite happy, but when he once
more returned, after an interview with the
bride elect, he vas mad.
"There won't be no marriage" he an
nounced as he sat down aud pounded ths
table.
