The New York Recorder tells story
of young man who was induced to join
loan association although somewhat
skeptical Of their merits He resolved
as test to put by $40 Il month III the
loan association and Il similar sum each
month in Il savings bank. AT the end of
10 years he balanced his cash and found
that he had 81, 500 to his credit in the
association and only 81 III the bank
This is accounted for by two circuln-
stances, one being the dread of fines if
delinquent i'll the association, the other
being that the book value of his associ-
alton stock was always so far ahead of
the savings bank account that when he
wished to cXpend any money nc found
it much less expensive to draw it out of
the bank, hence would not disturb his
shares in the association.

A MODEL WIFE.
Hfsc Had Good Deal to Try Her, but She
Wouldn't Get Angry.

Efsc Hnd q Good Deal to Try Her, but She
tl Wouldn't Get Angry.
Tho best natured woman i'll tho world
resides in tho city of Austin. She has
been married number of years TO q
man named Potorby, who is one of tho
most disagrcoablc, quarrclsomo men
outside OF tho Texas legislature. And
yet Mr. and Mrs. Pcterby have never
had IL quarrel, for the reason that it is
impossible To make her angry. He has
scowled ut her and occasionally waited
q chair ut her, Just TO see if she wouldn't
get angry, but he suffered disappoint-
ment i'll each and every instance. Peter
by had been Dragging to his friends
about what good natured wife he has,
and Gilhooly offered to bet $50 that if
Peterby were to go homo, raise fuss
and pull the tablecloth full Of dishes off
tho table she would show signs of tenn
per. He had tried that with his vito
once, but he never repeated the expert
ment
Petorby said he didn't want to rob
friend of his money, but he knew he
could win. AT last he made the bet
The friend was 20 watch the proceedings
through window. Peterby came homo
apparently fighting drunk. She saw
him coming, went out to tho gate,
opened it, kissed him and assisted his
lettering steps into the house. He sat
down hard i'll the middle of the floor and
howled out:
"Confound your ugly picture, what
did you pull that chair from under mo
for?''
81 hope you did not hurt YOURSELF"
she replied, smiling kindly. 81 was to
blame for it I am so awkward. But
I'll Try and not do it again if you will
forgive me this time" And she helped
him to his feet, although she had moth
ing to do with his falling. He then sat
ON the sofa, and sliding off on the floor
abused her like pickpockct for lifting
up the other end of the sofa. She said
she was sorry and finally led him to the
supper table. He threw plate at her,
but she lodged it and asked him if he
would take tea or coffee. Then the brute
seized the tablccloth, sat down on the
floor and pulled the dishes and every
thing over him i'll one grand crash
Some women might have lost their tenn
per, but not so with Mrs. Pctcrby. She
did not blubbcr like child; she did not
even sulk or pout With Il pleasant smile,
she said:
"Well, George, this is now idea
We have been married 10 Years and
never eaten our supper OH the floor.
Won't it be fun! Just like those picnics
we used TO go to before we were MIR
ried, " and then the angelic woman de
iberatcly sat down OH the floor along
side of the wretch. arranged the dishes
and fixed him up q nice supper. This
broke him up. He owned up he was only
fooling her and offered TO give her $50
to get herself Il new dress with. She
took the money and bought him Il now
suit of clothes and n box of cigars with
it, Heaven will have to be repaired and
whitewashcd before it is fit for that kind
of u woman.-Tunmany Times.
