sHREwDNEss OF A WIFE.

(From the Detroit Free PresA)

| GNrom the Detroit Free Presa-)
Il know woman" said a man of large
acquaintance, who had husband OF q
| kind which / honestly believe is in the
very largest minority among, husbands
and l am glad to say that he is. or was
because he is now dead She was good
| looking. young, and loved all the better
things Of life. and he was neither young
nor good looking, but he had a bushel OF
money. / am sorry to say. too. that il he
had not been rich the woman would no,
have married him. But that is neither
| here nor there, and We can't always blame
women who marry, men for their money.
Notwithstanding this chap had plenty OF
money. he was mean with his wife and gave
her just as little as he could possibly let 90
OF. They had aEgood social position. and
he was compelled to- spend something extra
on her. but he did 1t grudgingly though
he had fine Wardrobe and expensive lew
elry himself. sIt whsn't 50 much that he
was stingy asIthat he just wanted to be
ugly with his wife.
We'll, one day she evened UP with him
in fine style. She had been invited to a
house party and it was necessary for her
to have some new dresses and she fig
ured on thousand dollars worth as
about right. and told him OF it. He re-
Iuseu Hdtiy W ptTILit any Sucn eSpenGl-
ture. She simply told him he would have
to do It, and she went off and ordered
what she wanted. They were to be done
on the Thursday of her departure. and she
so notified her husband On the evening of
the day she gave the order
Each morning thereafter she sert for
him to come to her room before he went
downtown to business and told him she ex
pected a check for thousand dollars on
Thursday morning. and each time he told
her to go to the hot place, or words to
that effect. He did the same on the morn
ing the goods were to be delivered and
paid for, and as soon as he had left the
house she sent out for a furniture van. and
into that she had the servants put all her
husbands clothes and other effects. and
sent the load to a pawn shop OF high re-
spectability. She followed IL there with
Lis jewelry in a hand bag ard had the
whole lot piled up on the floor of the shop
81 want a thousand dollars on that
she said briefly to the astonished pawn
broker. and he demurred. because as he
assured her. he never loaned money on
clothes. She told him he might think GIf
ferently when he had looked the lot over
and when she told nm who she was he
concluded to look the lot over The result
OF the negotiation was 81 800 in money and
a pawn ticket, and she was ready to paw
the bills when the dresses came. That
afternoon she went away merrily to the
house party, but befS-a she left she wrote
pretty little note to her husband en-
closing the ticket She came home after
pleasant week in the country. and Ter
husband never said a word to her about
the ticket. Never word. but she noticed
that during her absence he had had bur
glar-pro locks put on all the closets.
Now that was kind of woman that
kind of a man should have mad for wife,

years cid. but in form he is erect and his
step is firm. When he relates reminis
cences of those early days. when min
strelsy was struggling for foothold. his
eyes are as bright as ever. He has a
wonderful memory and the stories he tells
Of his eventful career before the foot
lights are very entertaining.
Asked where the first minstrel company
was organized. he replied: Edwin P.
Christy formed the first company OF negro
Ministries the world ever saw Its inception
was in the city of Buffalo in 1912. The idea
was a new one and the people of good So
ciety were inclined to look askarce at a
performance that delineated Jim Crow.
However, adverse opinion was gradually
overcome and in 1916 the first performance
in a regular theatre was given in the old
Eagle Street Theatre, where now stands
the Hotel Iroquois.
Buffalo society gave Christy and his
company the stamp Of its approval and his
prosperity as minstrel manager was
