MIR. SMITH WON OUT.
After Months of Patient Submission
the Worm Turned.
And His strOng-Mindes Matrimonial
Partner Net Her Waterloo
Righteous Fury That Led
to Permanent Peace.

There lives in a small town in west
ern New York, not far from Buffalo,
an estimable lady with matrimonial
proclivities. She has married three
times and is yet barely past middle
life.
Her various names have blotted from
memory her maiden name, but she
became Mrs. Green on entering matri-
monial relations with her second hus-
band. Mr.. Green died a few months
after the marriage, but Mrs. Green
did not believe in living single, and she
cut short the conventional period of
mourning in order to enter unincum-
bered into negotiations with a we'll
TODD farmer, who had paid her some
attention in her younger days. The
affair progressed with eminent salts

finally eliminated in their marriage.

OF Mrs. Green's joys and sorrows was

Mrs. Green did not care to descend
from the halo of that noble Anglo
Saxon name Green, to the most pie
beian ranks of the Smiths. She re-
fused, therefore, to be a silent member
in the partnership, and insisted that
her friends continue to call her Mrs.
Green. Here the trouble arose. Mr..
Smith did not like the idea, but he
was one of the submissive kind whose
ideas do not count. Their friends, how
ever, refused to call her anything but
Mrs. Smith.
The submissive husbandfnallya arose
in his wrath and applied an effective
remedy. The women of the township
have vote on school matters, and n
meeting was to be held in the district
