A Model Wife.

The best woman in the world resides
in the city of Austin. She has been
married n numper of years to man
named Peterby, who is one of the most
disagreeable, quarrelsome men outside
of the Texas Legislature. And yet
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterby have never had
a quarrel, for the reason that it is inn
possible to make her angry. lie has
scowled at her, and occasionally watt
ed chair at her, just to see IT She
would not get angry. but he suffered
disappointment in each and every
instance. Peterby had been Dragging
to his friends about what a good
natured wife he has, and Gilhooly Of
fered to bet fifty dollars that If Peterby
were to go home, raise fuss, and pull
the table cloth full of dishes off of
the table, she would show signs Of
temper. He had tried that with his
wife once, but he never repeated the
experiment
Peterby said he didn't want to rob
a friend of his money, but he knew he
could win. At last they made the bet.
The friend was to watch the proceed
ings through window. Peterby
came home apparently fighting drunk.
She saw him coming, went out to the
gate, opened it, kissed him and assist
ed his tottering steps into the house.
He sat down hard in the middle of the
floor, and howled OUT
"Confound your ugly picture, what
did you pull that chair from under me
forP"
II hope you did not hurt yourself" :"
she replied, smiling kindly. Il was
to blame for it; l am SO awkward. But
I'll try and not do it again if you will
forgive me this time" and she helped
him to his feet, although she had moth
ing to do with his falling. He then
sat on the sofa, and sliding off on the
floor, abused her like pick-pocket
for lifting up the other end of the sofa.
She said she was sorry, and finally led
him to the supper table. He threw a
plate at her, but she lodged it, and
asked him If he would take tea or cof-
fee. Then the brute seized the table.
cloth, sat down on the floor, and pull
ed the dishes and everything over him
in one grand crash. Some women
might have lost their temper; but not
SO with Mrs. Peterby. She did not
blubber like child; she did not even
sulk or pout. With a pleasant smile,
she said:-
''Well George, this is a new idea.
We have been married ten years, and
never yet eaten our supper on the floor
Won't it be fun! Just like those pic
MICS we used to 90 to before we were
married" and then this angelic wo-
man deliberately sat down on the floor
alongside of the wretch, arranged
the dishes, and fixed him IN a nice
supper. This broke him up. He own
ed up he was only fooling her, and
offered to give her fifty dollars to get
herself new dress with. She took
the money and bought him a new suit
of clothes and box of cigar with it.
Heaven will have to be repaired and
whitewashcd before it is fit for that
kind of woman. Terds Siftinqs.
