was a little cut of his head, heated a
poker red hot and then dashed into
the street, exclaiming to the first man

1t is seldom that a woman plans and
erects a house precisely according to
her own ideas. Some five years ago
however, a foolhardy Bridgeport man
gave his wife full permission to plan
and build house as she wanted it
Then he went away to South America,
and was gone year. When he came
back she ushered him into dwelling
consisting of a parlor, kitchen, bed
room and twenty eight closets, In each
closet there were several shelves and
upward of four dozen hooks. Still,
when the Bridgeport man retired that
night he left his clothes piled on chair.
And he did not complain until the next
morning after breakfast, when bis wife
met him with board off dry goods
box, dozen nails and fatiron, and
asked him if he couldn't put up an
other shelf in that small closet which
opened off the large front closet.
His left thumb was still sore from
putting up shelf before he went to
South America He seized his hat and
started downtown, and as he went out
he noticed hooks on the outside Of
the front door for the morning milk
man to hang his wares on, and
other hooks on the front gate
on which distributors of advertising
matter might suspend their Literary eff
forts, A week later this house was
burned down under suspicious circum-
stances, but though the Bridgeport
man offered remarkably large reward
for the discovery of the incendiary,
nothing ever came of it-New York
