1ut He Was Another Man when HIS
=. Wife Was Around.

Wife Was Around.
He was a big enough man. but he
looked so meek that he seemed rather
understood And he was meek. Ladies'
getting on a street car recognized him
AT once as a henpecked man. and cast
a .disdainful glance on him by way OF
thanks for the seat he always gave
zip with an apologize air, as II he had
been guilty OF a misdemeanor in sitting
in it in the first place. Men fecked
their cigar ashes on him and turned to
apologize. but seeing his meekness con-
cluded not to take the trouble The
girls at the restaurant slammed down
in front OF him the leathern steaks
that had been sent back by more fss-
tidi0us customers, and the market peo-
pie gave him fruit that would rot be-
fore he got 1t home. In fact, he got the
worst of II everywhere. but he never
complained, and let humanity trample
on his cOrns with patient forbearance-
Jones in particular seemed to have
It in for the meek man, whom he in
derision called Fighting Mollie," and
the ingenuity OF Jones In devising in
dignities for his spiritless victim was
worthy CT a better cause. Jones was a
large. horid-faced man. who had no
mercy and was insolent just for fun.
But Jones made a mistake one day in
Nne park ne stepped up 20 the meek
man, pounded him on the back, smash
ed his hat down over his eyes. and
tweaked his whiskers. Just wanted
to wake you up. Mollie, my boy, to say
hello
The meek man gasped and turned
to a handsomely dressed lady standing
near by to whom he said word or two.
and then came back to Jones, whom
TO that gentleman's surprise he grabbed
by the collar.
Just come behind the band stand
here a moment" he said calmly. Il
want TO discourse a bit with YOU" and
he dragged Jones away out OF sight
and hearing of all except the few OF us
who followed.
Look here" he said, that's my wife
over there. and she thinks I'm a real
man. She's going to keep on thinking
So My doctor has been telling me tC
avoid all excitement, and 1 am. I'm as
cool as a gin rickey, but I'm id IL
don't take a little violent exercise and
warm up"
Then he gently but firmly proceeded
TO batter Jones face.
The next day he looked as meek a
ever, but somehow or other after tina
