A Futile Attempt to Humbug His Wife.


Col Frank Mooney lives on the best Of
terms with his better half, who, however, in
sists upon the strict observance of a certain
'rule for the household, ~ viz, that everybody
shall be in by 10 O'Clock at night. IL Mooney
happens to turn in later there is a "breeze"
One evening recently he forgot himself and
fingered so long over his cups that when he
glanced at the clock he saw, 10 his horror,
that it was quarter TO IL. Jumping up, he
vowed that he would be in bed before mid
night Luckily he had not far TO go. He
found his wife fast asleep, and there he stood
in the dark room, about to creep into bed,
when the clock on the wall began to strike
twelve. At the same time his wife awoke
and drowsily inquired:
Colonel, are You there,"
YES, my dear" said Mooney, as he silent
ly counted the strokes OF the clock.
At the tenth stroke he snatched up the
weight to prevent it striking any more, and
stood holding it In his hand for quarter of
an hour, till he thought his old woman had
dropped to sleep again. But he was mistaken,
for she was still half awake, feeling suspi-
cious about the state of affairs AT length
the colonel grew tired of waiting in the cold,
and, dropping the weight, quickly slipped
into bed. The clock struck-two! His wife,
wide awake by this time, heard it and ex-
claimed:
1.-TWO O'Clock! Is this the time you come
home"
And then he got the liveliest kind of "jes-

that he could NOT eXtricate himself, went i'm
