The Man Who STAYED.

For one woman who dominates her
husband in China there are nine Of the
approved oriental stripe of humility.
Nevertheless Chinese humorous litera-
ture abounds in references to hen.
pecked husbands. Here is one of them:
Ten henpecked husbands resolved to
form a society to resist the imposition
OF their wives. The ten wives heard
of the plan and while the meeting for
organization was in progress entered
the room in body. Nine Of the rebel.
lious husbands fed, but the tenth one
retained his place, apparently unmoved
by the unexpected visitation.
The ten wives, after smiling con
temptuously on the one man who re
mained, went back to their homes, well
content with the success of their raid
The nine husbands thereupon re
turned to their meeting, resolved tC
make the heroic tenth man the prcsi
dent Of the society.
When they entered the room, how
ever, TO inform him Of the honor Il
was found that he was dead. He had
died Of fright.
