An Original Husband.

When a husband takes it into his
head to be original, the wife, slave of
generations of habit frequently re-
bells. A pioneer husband in ST. Louis
we learn, was particularly original in
his methods. He arose cheerfully in
the morning, kicked the furniture
about a bit, and went down to his
breakfast in rare good humor. Instead
of glowering at his breakfast, he would
inquire, with what seems to US true in
spiration: rs this food poisoned p
Somehow, the wife did not like this
originality. Yet the husband was a
doctor, and SURELY had a. right TO make
his pleasant inquiry. The food might
have been poisoned, nlightn't it?
Furthermore, this original husband
signed contract reading: 81 agree not
