LYsANDER's LATE RAISE.
WAYS of a Woman Impress Them
selves on a Good Husband in
Peculiar Way.

Lysander Hemenway was n0tln
q happy frame of mind. Anyone
could have seen that, asserts the
Chicago Record Herald. His
friend Farnham saw it, and, going
over to him, asked:
'"What's the matter, old man!
ANY of the children sick?"
"No," Hemenway replied, "the
little ones are all well. Sometimes
| almost wish they we're not as
strong as they happen to be. You
being a bachelor, don't know how
a healthy child can kick holes
through shoes and things. But
wasn't thinking of the children.
Thank heaven, I've always been
able to keep them well clothed and
we'll fed, and l guess any man who
can do that has no cause to raise
a serious howl. No, Tll tell you
what's the matter. For the past
three or four years my wife has
been urging me to strike for 8
raise of salary. Well Pve never
blamed her for wanting me t.
make more money than Pve beer
getting, but Pve always felt that il
my employers thought that l was
worth more to them than they werl
paying me they'd give me an in
crease without being asked to Dc
it. My wife couldn't see it tha-
way, though, and kept dinginl
away and dinging away until sht
got me desperate, so just before
the beginning of the new year
decided to spunk up and ask TO.

He stopped and dFewalong, sal

"Pshaw, never mind, old man.
his friend urged. "There's no us,
letting yourself be foored in thi
way. Brace up. You're still goo,
for 20 years of hard work and yor
can catch on somewhere in spite o
the fact that you've got gray hair
