Going Too Far.

Along a country road walked a man
and woman. The latter. gaunt, stern
faced female, was bullying the meek
little fellow. who trudged just in front
of her with downcast head. Suddenly
the woman, turning, saw bull racing
down the road behind them. She
quickly took refuge in the hedge, but
her companion, unconscious Of aught
but his woes, kept on his way. The
bull caught up to him and sent him
spinning into a muddy ditch, then con-
tinued on its wild career. AS the Woe
begone figure crawled out of the mire
he saw his better half coming toward
him. Plucking up little spirit, he
whimpered, mn Maria, if you hit me
