There is a tale told on one Of the Cap
tairs Of one II The reels in the fire depart
rnsut. end a prominent business man, that
on New Years night vhea all the whistle

somewhere, bnt after getting dressed and
saving found bis gum coat and boots his
vie suggested that perhaps the whistles
were blowing On account Of the New Year,
when be took q ,unhle and vent back TO
bef
s.rcs our lac. article on 'P5iygsmy in
Ohio. % which appeared in the ROOSTER,
~s iesrr Of Sin another csse IN the near
vicinity Of our former one. The facts a.
neatly a. We cHa learn are that not many
years sirce, the ford sad loving husband
'Yl tsc0ming aware that his wife would
son become = mother hired q girl TO do
the homework during bis wife's illness.
Matters ran smoothly until some months
after, when il became necessary for the
wife to render similar services for the
hired girl, who in due time became a
mother. Time passed On and at the present
writing, the much loved husband is the
father of seven children. Three belong to
bis wife and four call the domestic NAV. "
Occasionally during the absence OF the
master of the house, the wife forces the
hired help out into the cold, cold, world,
but Immediately on the husbands arrival
home, the help Is reinstated in the family
circle sgain. He seems to be lord OF all he
surveys and runs that house strictly &C
cordipg to his own dictation.
We have some chronic middle aged
bachelors roaming around town who per.
sist in calling upon married couples and
firing them all alike until late hour, re-
hearsing the same old chestnuts OF CONVEX
sation about relatives, their ailments, and
other equal DISTINGUISHING topics too tedious
to mention, until the folks either wish
they would get married or fall into the
soup and never be resurected again.
Should they 90 home at reasonable time
we would not object, but when such calls
sre prolonged until after midnight We
must become somewhat Disguised.
