The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1883-03-27
He Tried A New Game.

A hen-pecked husband who had fire.
quently found the door locked when he
came home late at night and a little too
full to find the heyhole, if he had been
allowed to carry n key; said that he
sometimes kept himself awake by race
ing up the long gravelewalk and throw
ing himself with full force against the
huge oak doors, in vain efforts to break
them in. But the doors never yielded,
and he ALWAYS retired from the contest
a sorer but soberer man. On one even
ing he disclosed the canker in his heart
by confidentially asking one of his COM
panions what he did when he went
home little late, and trifie unsteady,
if his wife scolded and fretted all the re-
mainder of the night and refused to let
him sleep. ''Do?" replied the other,
why, just kick her out, that's all. !"
There was a CLEAN in the eye of the
sad man. when this information was re-
oeived, but nothing more was said about
the matter. The rest of the party. notic-
ed, however, that the sadness seemed to
suddenly disappear from his manner,
and an expression OF hope and even OF
confidence took its place. A few more
bottles were opened and then the party
adjourned Ii was late, and as most of
them lived in the hotel, they retired to
their rooms, but not all of them to rest
Within half an hour the sad man reach
ed ibis room, here his wife, like Tam
OsShanter's, had long been:
Gatherin her broos, like gatherin storm,
NurSin her wrath to keep ii warm.
There was a sound of revelry bv night
from that direction. First murmur of
angry, then of furious, words Then
grating sound as if u resolute man.
with his back against the wall, was try
ing to force some Objectionable object
away from him. Then noise as of
athletes engaged in desperate contest;
creaking of tiTnbers, as of ship in all the
fcry of storm, and then a crash. fol-
lowed by q haif-suppressed scream,
few half-uttered curses and Il furious
ringing of bells that woke the echoef in
the Office below. Soon bell boys Came
fitting through the dimly-lighted halls,
and later, the entire night force of port
ers appeared, Juggling up the stairs with
new bedsteads and down with the re-
mains of an old one, while the awaken
ed neighbors, through falf-opened doors,
