ITEMS OF INTEREST
IN AND ABOUT TOWN
Happenings OF the Day In
Various Parts of the
Nations Capital.

Here is a suggestion for any young
man who has made a mistake and
married, instead OF a loving and
obedient young wife, . stern and
forbidding master, one who says
Put on your slippers. for you're not
going bye bye tonight" etc.
There is a story going the r0unds
about a young lawyer in this city
who made this mistake. but recently
was able to enjoy the pleasure of q
night with the boys"
1t was about $3.50 and Mr.. and Mrs.
Eoungones had gone to bed, the Mrs.
being OF country stock. Suddenly,
downstairs in the hall. a noise as
though a chair had been knocked
over could be heard.
Dear" whispered the Mrs, "it
1T must be a burglar"
Not the least hint of excitement
could be heard in the voice of the
young husband. Nonsense! There's
nothing in this house to attract
burglar"
'Oh, there's a man with a dark
lantern" walled the one who by day
ruled with a strong and mighty hand.
Let me at him." and the young
husband. sure of himself, was out OF
bed and had the burglar by the
throat in one bound.
"I'Il take him to the police sta
tion," said the trembling husband, as
he hastily dressed, keeping the in
truder covered with a revolver.
And he led him from the room.
But once outside the house the
burglar could be seen to tear of his
mask and double up with laughter.
Then he and the courageous thief
capturer repaired, arm-in-arm, to the
club to play poker. 1t was the first
night off that Mr.. Breadearner had
had since he had promised to love,
honor, and obey.
The police records the next day
did not show any record of a house
breaker being brought in.
