OLEO VERSUS BUTTER.
An Unparalleled and Inexcusable Case of
HusbandIy Villainy.

An Unparalleled and Inexcusable Case of
HusbandIy Villainy.
Mrs. Blank is a mode, ousewife She
spends portion of each day IN personal su
pervson of the domestic arrangements of
the household. She directs the purchases
made tor the family !arder and only the
choicest vlands Will be accepted. On one
point Mrs Blankls particularly positive. 1t
is, says the Chicago Tribune, the selection
of butter.
Nothing but the choicest Orange County
product is allowed on the table. She has
often said that ''if there was one thing she
WAS posted on it was butter"
Her husband was skeptical, and resolved
to test his wife's judgment. Sohe purchased
firkin of the choicest New York butter al
Sl.40 pound and had the lid stenciled ''oleo
margarine" Then the willy man had the
word partially erased as if the merchant had
sought to conceal the true nature of the tubs
contents. The tub was sent home. When
he went to dinner he was confronted by Mrs.
Blank as soon as he had crossed the thresh-
old.
''John," said she, in a severe tone, 'are
you out of your headl What do you mean
by sending that horrid stuff home"
''Why, my dear, 1 am assured that it is
clean, and good deal better than half the
butter we get. So thought we might give
it trial at least"
This rep.y nearly took the good lady's
breath away. Finally she broke forth:
And dc you think i am going to eat that
stuff Why the moment / lasted it felt
sick. If you want TO eat it you may, but
don't propose to fly in the face of Provi-
dence in that way"
Before her husband came down to dinner
he let his daughter and son into the secret
At the table some of the 80 leo'' was set be
fore the master of the house. He ate freely
OF it and finally induced his children 10 par
take.
''Why, mamma" said the daughter, ''it's
every bit as good as Orange Cou nty butter.
Try it,"
'No, I thank you," was the freezing re-
ply.
The son joined his sister in praise Of the
'oleo," and finally Mrs. - was induced TO
try little.
sand you folks cal this vile stuff good
Why, it fairly chokes me-"
The uext day Mr.. - went TO his wife
and sale tnat he would send the stuff back
and return n its place some OF the usual
goods. Then he went down town, bought
tub of oleomargarine and had 1t marked
sOrange County butter" This was sent
home, ana at dinner Mrs. - discussed at
length the virtues Of the new 'butter."
She ate with relish, and it was two days
before Mr.. - told of his viliainy. Then
there was a pretty how dye do.
