SHABBY HUSBANDS.
And Their Mean Way of Treating
Dear Young Brides.

Two young women who had been married
only year and half were visiting Oneday
last week, and comparing babies, when they
got to talking about the time they were
married, and of their bridal tours and what
happened. One Of them said:
''Oh, was never so mortified in all my
life. You see, my husband is crank on
the subject of baseball. HevOuld go fur
ther to see good game of baseball than
ANYTHING in the world. We went to Buffalo
on our wedding trip, and after terrible
night of sleeplesness on the cars, owing TO
woman with baby in the next section TO
us. we arrived alive at the hotel in Buffalo
and were assigned a room. At the supper
table my husband read paper all the time,
while drlImmed with the knives and forks
and spoons to keep awake. After supper
we went 10 our room, and my husband, the
man had supposed would be SO attentive
to me, said he would go down to the office
and smoke. DO you know, that man did not
come back until midnight? was never
treated so shabbily i'm all my life. Well, l
guess didn't pout or nothing. told him
he was mean, horrid thing and L would
never live with him another day. Then he
showed me lot of pool tickets he had
bought in baseball game, and he said we
would go the next day and see the greatest
game of baseball that ever was, and he
dropped to sleep as quick as he struck the
he'd and dreamed of ''shOrt stops" and
s.fiies," and talked in his sleep about steal
| ing bases until thought should die, and
| he snOred so they could hear it q mile and
II there \ xroc awaka all night / XaS not
much acquainted with him then and did not
disturb him. but now when he snOres or
| talks i'm his sleep l nudge him with my
| sharp elbow, or put one OF my cold ieet
| against him, and he wakes up too quick.
| Well. the next morning, tired as i was after
| two nights without sleep, he got street-car
and we trapsed off two miles and sat on
hard bench and saw game of baseball, and
/ / didn't understand word of 1t. Then my
| husband lost s24 on pOel tickets, and he
| never spoke to me ali the way back TO- the
hotel, except to say It would nave Deen
| that Nv and passed 1t TO first base. Oh, was

| married what supposed was the man who
loved me and he was in love with baseball:
But had talk with him that night ano
guess he discovered was no chicken to be
treated that way, and ever since ne EN- mas Deen zen
just as good as could be. Amt that nice
Tie other bride of eighteen months said
the baby was the incest she ever saw. ex.

her experience on her wedding tour. You

she picked up her baby and took the heel OF
mis- shoe out of his mouth. well, we stop,
ned at hotel, and that evening my husband
met a young man from here who was In New
York studying medicine. They went out
together for the evening, and when my hus
