MINNIE'S LITTLE WAY.

The Sublime Patience Of . Modern soos
rates OF TeutOnic Extraction.
The rarcst virtues are often unrec-
ognized and apparently unrewarded.
An instance of this was observed BY .
reporter in a little grocery store the
other day. The proprietor was Ger
man. frosty haired. but hale, diligent.
respectful and self-respecting. The
"proprietress, rs she evidently re-
garded herself, was stout woman
with an awful temper. which was in
process Of explosion and. for the time
being. totally ohscured any good quail
ity that she might possess. The brunt
of her wrath first fell on one of the err
rand bays in the store.
You ape, you puppy" she ex-
claimed, "you shan't sleep under this
roof another night What dyer mean
by giving me lmpcrdence? I'm the
equal Of your snperiors. am"

bled the boy. Il only said that he

the irate woman; .well, if amt yer
boss Tn your BOSSES. an if yer don't
mind I'll get yer arrested, I'll turn
you out o doors, I'll give yer nothing
to eat, Tll-Ill-"
The woman's fury waxed SO high
that she was at a loss for words and
could only shake her big rcd fist in the
boys face.
All the while the old German busted
himself about the store, but seeing
that the situation was getting danger
Gus. he said mildly TO the boy, who
held his ground stoutly:
"Neyer mind, Henry, dot vor Min
MES little way. dot $ all"
This was enough to draw the attack
upon himself.
You old bag Of boncs," shouted his
wife, If you had the making of half >
man in you, you wouldn't see me in-
suited by boy. You'd put him out
you'd thrash him. you'd call the police.
I'd make better man than you out Of
sawdust."
The old German made no reply to
her, but observed to customer:
minnie vos good frau; she have her
little way. dots all; don mind it. -
Now If soft answer turneth away
wrath. silence often only increases it.
1t had this effect on Minnie. She grew
purple in the face with rage. She
called her husband a monster" q
..wretch," declared that he had no
feeling or sympathy for her and that
she was much abused woman.
Still the old man made no reply,
only observing again to a customer re-
assuringly:
dot vos her little way, dots all
don't mind it."
But the infuriated woman now had
recourse to other weapons She SHE'D

quietly lodged it and said nothing.
She hurled another one and this time
it came near hitting the reporter, who
made for the door hastily.
