The reighbors OF, a certain well-known
Memphis Irish family say that the good
housewife and her lord never know what
domestic discord is except when the old man
goes home slightly in his cups. Then there
is trouble. and plenty Of it, for the old lady
is fire and tow and she SAYS she has con-
sistently tried for a score of years to get
"Moike to quit it." The storms, according
to the story, have grown less violent of late
years. and for that matter the tipsy periods
of "Moike" are not of such frequent recur-
renee as formerly. Not long ago, SO the
story goes, the old man went home pretty
we'll tanked, and his wife met him..
"Yis," she said, "ye're a-comin' home
agin, an THAT dhrunk. My, my, o, my,
Moike, an why is it yez won't call fur sarsa-
parilla whin ye git enuf?"
"Bekase," replied Mike. "whin Oh gifts
