ALL FOR A KISS.
Oscillation Causes a Season of
Trouble i'm q North Sedalia
Home.

Sedalia has long enjoyed the repu-
tation of being city wherein hsppi.
ness reigned. Particularly has this
been remarked On, as regards the en-
viable felicity of the home circle.
Hsppy households abound, and the
jars of domts ic nature, common 10
other towns, don't prevail to an ex-
tent here. Those unions which exem-
pity in The fullest degree the poets
description of supreme affection "two
hearts that beat as one, two souls
with but single thought"
are numerous in the ,,Queen
City OF the Prairies." Jealousy
and marital suspicion are to large
extent lost sight Of. Occasionally,
however. an instance comes to Zig hit
where the green-eyed monster has
been permitted to gain sn ascendency
in the breast of some wife or husband,
but the cases are so rare and The
causes generally so trivisl, that AMIGA
biity is usually resumed soon.
In North Sedalia there resides q
gentleman and his wife, and in this
usually happy domicile one, of these
rare occurrences happened a few days
ago. Living with the family in the
capacity of maid-of.all work is very
comedy young woman. The hus.
band has always had the
reputation of being model
welded partner and neighbors looked
on the family as living in perfeci
bliss.
The good lady of the house wss
however, tinctured little with the
insidious evil which is ruinious to the
peace of homes-jealousy. She
could see it lurking in every move
made by her husband and covertly.
but constantly watched him. This
YVES the mistake she made. Her
husband was a good man.
On the occasion referred to, the
lady had allowed her feelings to be-
come so worked up as to be scarcely
able to contsin herself. She thought
chubby" smiled too blandly on the
kitchen maid, and she wanted to con-
vince herself.
The morning spoken of, the wife
told her husband she had an urgent
GRAND over to the city and that she
would attend to it before he left for
his Daily business. She did not 60,
however, but secreted herself in the
dining room and awaited develop
ments.
Soon they came. Hubby came in
the apartment and soon the maid ap-
peared. There were few tender, but
innocent dallyings and then came
q prolonged season of osculatory exer-
cises and huggiDgs. only this and
nothing more" But it wss too much
for the witnessing wife.
With a bound and objurgation she
was on the scene.
1t was as if Vesuvius was erupt-
ing, the storm that followed. Tears,
angry words, hysterical denouncings,
were the order. The HUSBAND
abashed, the girl frightened. 1t was
a scene for a painter.
The pent up passion spent, the wife
announced her Immediate intention of
a separation and left to secure vehi-
Gle in which to transport her belong
ings.
Almost beside himself with grief,
the husband paced the floor. He did
not mean wrong, he had merely not
bsen able to resist kissing a pretty
girl. Could not bis wife be reconciied
by promises? He would try, and On
her return, did. She had allowed her
temper to settle and had also conclud.
ed that he had not been so deep in
transgression. She would forgive him.
Mutual reparation for hastiness was
made, and happiness supreme reigns
in that North Sedslia home, and the
hired girl is still one of the family.
And all this was caused by single
kiss.
