the prospective loss of one-half OF his
81 200 yearly salary. Nay. nay!
"Rube" sighed for love. because hts.
tender, trusting nature had been tram
pied on, because 1t had been stated
less of his marital obligations. And
he grieved also because the envenomed
press had printed that he had attempts
ed to vivisect the father OF one OF his
wives with an az. when the fact was
that he had merely tried to bin him
with a fatiron.
She Held the Bundle.
cried the fond husband. Nothing of
the sort. I've always told her to go
the limit on food. Maybe. the limit
was held pretty close, but that was

of me leaving her in hook in hotels.
she left me on the mercy OF the cold
and heartless world without q hotel to
go in hook to. She blew those 81 200
for lingerie and gew-gaws for the
adornment of her person.
Washed His One Pair.
'1 had to wash my one pair OF socks
in a wash bowl when I could borrow
the bowl, and go to bed whenever

Mrs. Waddell recovered her lost

the first person my eyes beheld on the
first salary day, and she has been my

is where l have kick coming.
"After spending the 1000 and leaving
me out in the blizzard all winter, she
comes back with the return of the pay

for mine. Nothing doing. Hubby must,
have a dip in. or he doesn't save.
my company wasn't good enough for
her last winter. and now the connubial.
felicity business is strictly on the blink.
But, mind you, still love her fondly. -
Real Married Happinsss.
Rube heaved fathom-deep sigh and
hung another coffin nail to the film on
the under side OF his upper lip.
This love in a furnished room is q
funny thing" he continued. II never
knew what real happiness was until L

getting run for your money. I'm get

me too busy running to find out all
about it, )
The pensive pitcher was called to the,
bar of the court. and produced con-
tract showing that he receives only
81. 200 yearly for his toll. He agreed
to give Mrs. Waddell one-half OF the
proceeds of the sweat of his brow, and
was told to depart in peace.
