them? Then she has servant girl
when she wants one? Then she rides
out for her health, and has a watch
and gold chain as you do? Is that so?"
Professor, you must be crazy. No
body's wife is boss in that shape. Who
ever heard of such thing?"
Now, look here. You say she did
well in marrying rich, and cannot see
it. If she was getting two dollars and
fifty cents per week when you married
her. and had saved her wages, she
would have had now three thousand six
hundred dollars. If she had invested it,
she would have had five thousand dol
! lars. Now you tell me she Is broken
down used up and miserable and looks
so badly she makes you sick and she
has no money no help and will probably
/ get nothing but Scotch granite tomb
stone wnen she dies"
Professor if you was a younger man
! would lick you quicker'n a spring
lamb can jump thistle"
What for? l am stating this case
fairly, am I not? Your wife is no
longer handsome Her hands are as
hard as local editors cheek, and she
has stopped over milk can until she
has hump on ner back like a pedler.'
Shut up, will your
"She has raised four children. One OF
them is at college, One taking music
lessons in Boston. The other two are
teaching school. She is at home alone
going around in a treadmill life which
will end in rosewood coffin and a first
class country funeral"
stop that, professor will you?"
"While you are still handsome man
with just enough gray in your whiskers
to make you look interesting. No doubt
you have been thinking OF some nice
young girl OF eighteen who would jump
at the chance to marry your thirty cows
and twenty acres Of hops"
Professor, won't stay here If you
don't let up on that.
"And your wife does not look well in
that new Watertown wagon, so you
take your hired man and neignbor,s
girl to meeting. Your wife never goes

watch like your own, nor new silk
dress, nor pony that she could drive,
nor a basket phaeton that she could
cMmb into without a ladder. She never
says anything so you have not got her
a set OF teeth like your own, gold and
rubber, and her nose is pushed up into
her forehead and her face wrinkles.
She never goes out She has to work in
the kitchen, so sne gets NO nice shoes
like yours"
Darn my skin, if l don't"
"No, you won't. You will just let her
work right along and then you will
marry some high fi1er, who will pull
every hair out of your head and serve
you right, too"
Professor, for D1ercy's sake, stop"
"Wnen you know, and know, that
if your wife had a chance to rest, and
had nice clothes like other women, she
would be one of the best looking women
of her age in the town"
II swan, believe it,
''And, old as she is, if you were to
get out the carriage next Sunday and
drive around with the colts and tell her
you wanted her to go to meeting with
you, she would actually blush with
pleasure"

her you were going to hire a girl. and

looked at the speaker admiringly.
He was about fifty years old, and as
robust as man Of thirty. His wniskers
neatly trimmed, showing full red
cheek. He wore a jaunty hat, and natty
cutaway coat, and below his vest hung
single fob and heavy gold seal. was

eyes. Kinder dropping, with a dry
cough, and no ambition. She just kinder
drags around the house and looks so
peaked and scrawny it gives me the
blues. 1t does, I swan"
Naturally weakly, wasn't she?"
"She! Oh, no. When 1 married her,
she was the smartest girl on the creek.
She used to work for my father, and
the way she made the work stand
around took my eye. She was a poor
girl and her industry got her a rich
husband
Here he took out gold watch, look
ed at the time, put it back and adjusted
the silk fob on the front of his nicely
fitting trousers.
$50 she did well, getting married on
account of her Industry"
''Why, of course. She was getting
only two dollars and fifty cents week,
and she became mistress of farm"
Excuse me, how mucn are you worth
now-contidentially, you know? am a
scientific man, and will never use such
facts to your injury with the assessor"
well, professor, I could crowd fifty
thousand pretty hard"
THAT is good. How long have you
been married?'
Thirty years next Fourth of July.
We went down to Albany on little
teeter, and 1 proposed the match and
Jane was willing"
How much do you suppose you have
made in these thirty years."
"Hum-um-lemmes see, T got the
Davis farm the first ten years, then I
run in debt for the Simmons place, got
war prices for my cheese and squared
up both places. Well, think I have
cleared up thirty thousand dollars since
we spliced."
VERY good, indeed. And your wife
has been great help all this timer"
ooh, you bet! She was rather! She
took care of her baby, and the milk
from twenty cows. tell you she made
the tinware flop! Why, we have had
four children, and she never had
hired girl over six months In that
time"
Splendid, and you have cleared
thirty thousand dollars in that timer"
Eyes, easy"
Nov, how much has your wife
made?"
She? Why, durn it, professor, she is
my wife?'
II know it. But what has she made?
You say she was poor when you mar
ried ner. Now, what has she made?"
why, you beat all! Why, she is my
wife. and we own it all together"
do you? Then she can draw on
your bank account? Then she has a

that she must sit in the sitting room BY
the new nickel-plated coal stove and
work on that new silk dress you are
going to buy her"
Professor, that's me-"
"And then hand her nice wallet,
with steel clasps and with five nice
twenty dollar notes in it, and tell her
to do her own trading after this, be-
cause you nave got tired of looking
after SO much money"
II will, as sure as you live"
"And then, when the tear starts in
her eye, and the same old blush comes
out that you thought so nice when you
went on that teeter to Albany, if you
would kiss her
"1t's all right, professor"
'Then, my friend, should begin to
think che had made something by
marrying rich man"
You're right, old man"
''Then l think you wouldn't have a
miserable wife any longer. Then you
would no longer want to sell or rent
the farm, but would be showing the
mother of your children how much you
respected her for her life of devotion.
Then she would know she was a part
ner in that thirty thousand. Then if
you made your will all right and she
had good rest, think she would some
time be an eligible widow"
Think so, professor"
II know it. Woman is a plant that
wants sunshine You have been leav-
ing your wife in the shade too much.
She has lost her color. You have made
her think she is an old woman. She has
given up all hope of admiration and
love, and is only waiting to die and
get out of the way. Suppose you were
treated SOP"
"What, me? I am all right"
eyes, I know. Women pity you be-
cause you are tied to such sorry
looking wife. Foolish old maids and
silly girls whisper behind your back
what nice looking man you are, and
what stick Of wife you have, and
you are just soft enough to wear tight
boots and oil what little hair you have
left on the top of your head, and go
around figuring up how long before

and won't tell of my complaints about
my wife, I'll try your medicine. Would

the pocketbook and twenty dollar
notes." ...-
How much did you say you have
made together?"
II, cave. The dress will be all right,
and the pony and phaeton will be
handy for the gals. Come down and see

A Story Of John Morrissey.

Henry L. Dawes of Pittstield. Mass,
successor of Charles Sumner in the

"When l was a judge in Pittsfela.

any arrangement for settlement which
he made with the sheriff would be sat

did, insisted upon having the fine paid
in cash, and since Morrissey didn't
happen to have that much cash with
him the sheriff locked him up until
the amount was sent on from New
York.

DOESN'T LIKE IT.
Saws Recent Plan Of Selecting State Sena-
tor viii Not Be Accepted as Permanent.

From the Fort Gaines Sentinel.
The plan pursued in the selection OF
senatorial candidate by the recent
primary was departure from the old
way, which, in this instance inmate
rial, would lead TO future dissatisfaction
should the attempt be made to estab-
lish it as a precedent. This time Ran
dolph county not only furnished bu
named the senator for the district, ant
owing to the fact that all the candi
dates had agreed to submit their can
didacy to Randolph's choice the re
mainder of the district acquiesced.
But Judging from current comments
the voters of the district are not Will
ing to accept this plan as permanent.
The spirit of the rotation system
does not contemplate that the county
from which the senator shall come
will have the right to name a man
that tn other two counties are bound
to accept, but rather that the three
counties together shall agree upon a
candidate residing in the county whose
turn it is, each county having an equal
voice in the matter. Let us bear this
in mind.
