why, what's the matter. Mary?"

and you ought to be proud of her. She
works hard and is just as anxious to

that of a sensible wife. And you know

And you. Mary.
you are good woman. But you
know, Mary, you got temper from
your father. And when you get mad
your tongue is pretty sharp You nag
John about his trades when It is too
late to do any good. Then he gets mad
and there is trouble.
Now, John and Mary
I've known you both all your lives
and your people before you. You have
your troubles, but you would be mis-
