STOPPED HIS GRUMBLING.
Result of a Little Surprise by His Wife
and Mother.

Result Of a Little Surprise by Ills WIFE
and Mother.
Grumper isn't his name, but 1t VIII
serve. He's a big man with big
voice. big appetite, big heart, big bank
account and rather a big opinion OF
himself. He belongs to that extern
sive class that come in from the coun-
uv. begin in a small way and push
along tin they are among the leaders
in their respective callings. 1t is not
long since he married a dainty little
woman whose chief aim is TO please
him. For weeks, day by day, he reg
istered the familiar old compliant that
no cooking tasted as good as mother S
used TO. Mrs. Grumper was so anxious
to please him and remove this cause or
complaint that she roasted, fried,
stewed and broiled herstlf in the kitch-
en-. but Grumper never ceased 10 yearn
for mothers cooking.
One DAY a plain but CHEEKY ola laoy
appeared az Grumper's front door. she
was the mother, and had come long
wav lust to see her boy once more and
give him a surprise. He would not De
home till evening, and his little wife
enticed the old lady into the cooking
department. determined that he should
at last be made happy. The mother
used plenty of grease, made plenty OF
smudge and felt more at home than
she would have been in the parlor.
She was induced to remain in her room
till the meal was we'll under way to see
if Grumper did not recognize the food
as prepared by her hands. He smiled
the air of the dining room and there
was an unpleasant look on his face,
He scanned the table and the look
deepened. He tried a few dishes, laid
aside his knife and fork, turned to his
wife and declared that he could stand
il no longer. He had hoped that she
would learn. but this was, by all odds,
the worst yet He would write for his
mother and she could remain until the
wife learned her ways.
When be knew all he wilted, admit
ting that tobacco might have spoiled
his taste. and now eats any old thing
with relish.-Detroit Free Press.

AND WHAT DID THE SAILOR SAY?

"Will you oblige me by holding this
ram while / open this gate? II is fas-
tened on the inside, and l find that l
must climb over"
Such was the remark made by man
standing at gate in lonely road. and
it was addressed to a ,'alwart sailor
who had just come up. Inc only other
object visible on hte long, straight road
was the large ram. whose massive
crooked horns were being held by the
man as the two stood qquite still in front
of the gate.
"Why, sartintly, shipmate, said the
obliging tar, as he seized the big horns.
81 thank YOU" the first holder said
when he got to the other side. "You
will. no doubt. be surprised to hear that
| never saw that ram until to-day. The
vicious brute attacked me about half
an hour ago and we have been tussling
stand before him holding his horns
firmly. he can't hurt you. Goodbye.
