A Thrilling Romance.

Patience Rewarded.
BY PAUL PLUME.
Andrew iiogan liotl been an opulent
farmer, and once rented a large, tract of
land; his dwelling was situated close by
the Ohio river. With the view of increas
ing his wealth, he went into the specula
tion of cattle, and quickly lost the fruits
of long years of industry. He did not
quite lose hope, however, but rented a
small farm, and endeavored by patient
toil to retrieve his altered fortunes. In
vain he struggled to sustain himself ; the
times were dull, there was no business
doing, for the country was slowly and
painfully recovering from a money panic,
and Andrew Hogan, for a second time,
was compelled to give up his home. He
had an only daughter, a girl of some six
teen years of age, named Ann. She hau
been of great service to her father in
managing his house, for Hogan’s wife
died when Ann was fourteen, and young
as sho was, she was able to direct and
control the domestic affairs of the farm,
and save her father many a dollar by her
foresight and prudence. Andrew Hogan
■"’as walking the floor with rapid steps,
and his daughter was sitting at a table en
gaged in sewing.
“We shall have to leave here, Ann,” he
sa id, “and I scarcely know what we are
to do. Perhaps it would be best for you
marry William Pender, and gain yomv
s ®lf a home. I have been selfish in op
posing the matter heretofore ; but I yield
n ow, so you can convey the intelligence
*° William as you see best.”
•vnu Hogan raised her eyes sorrowfully
1° her father's face. “Must you leave
this
1° remain ?”
"None that I know,” replied her father,
except that I raise money enough to
Continue farming until times become bet-
* er: Bhd to-day I could not command a
Mildred dollars if my salvation depended
upon it.’’
Ihe conversation between Ann and her
•‘‘ther here terminated, and Hogan put on
“ ls hat and walked out to cool his fevered
brow.
'’’hen William Pender heard from
• c h s lips the story of her father’s trou-
ie - ho patted his sweetheart’s cheek aud
d her to give herself no more concern
was necessary. “The small fortune
a .v father left me,” he said, “I have very
a ach increased, aud now that we are
£>ing to be married, I will purchase the
Wace where you reside, and your father
iC( l I wili try what we can do to make
yon
place ?” she aBked. “Is there no way

Andrew Hogan unexpectedly dis-
JT «red that there would be no occasion
Jt him to move, and in less than a month
imug'uter was married to William Pen-
r - and they were all snugly living under
6 saiue r °of. It seemed, however, as if
^fortune had marked the Hogans for
‘dims. During the first year of her
^ rr iage, Ann’s father met with a painful
^ Cl dent while plowing. It was conBid*
triUmg enough at first, but bad
i^ptoins began to manifest themselves
a few weeks, and before thirty days
Andrew Hogan was dead.

rise to the suspicion that he was murder
ed. Before six months was gone Ann
Pender was deranged. She used to spend
her days in searching the neighborhood
for her husband, her mind being impress
ed with the idea that Willie was lost.
She wonld go from neighbor to neighbor
soliciting money, that she might employ
men to search for him. Thus years
passed away, and Ann Pender’s mind
never recovered its wanted strength. Her
husband had left enough money to sup
port her comfortably, and the authorities
placed her in charge of a family who
kindly attended to her wants.
About a mile from Ann’s old home
lived Franklin Morton, a man who was
very wealthy aDd who lived in excellent
style. In early days he had married the
daughter of a farmer, who bore one child
named Margaret. When Margaret was
seven years old her mother died, and
when she entered her twentieth year her
grandfather died also and bequeathed to
her his entire estate, which was very
large. The fact was, Margaret’s wealth
exceeded that of her parents, and of
course she had an abnndance of Bnitors,
and among them one Walter Clark. Who
and what he was, does; not signify. He
was in love with Maggie Morton, and she
reciprocated his feelings. Her father,
who had high notions of bis daughter’s
marrying, commanded her to have noth
ing to do with Clark, and never to dare
think of marrying him. But women are
obstinate in cases like these, and not
withstanding the threats of her father
Maggie Morton refused to discard her
lover. This agt of disobedience roused
all the latent ire in her father’s heart.
“Would you marry one,” he sneered,
“without a dollar in his pocket, and nev
er likely to have one, as he has no busi
ness?”
“Yes,” replied Maggie with spirit; “if
he were a beggar I would wed him, for I
love him. When I become of age I shall
have more than enough for both of us,
and as that period is not very remote, I
imagine we will be able to await it with
patience.”
To say that Mr. Morton watched his
daughter with lynx-eyed vigilance would
but faintly express the exceeding care he
took to keep Maggie and her lover from
meeting each other. Bnt of course they
did meet, and no amonnt of carefnl
watching could prevent it. Some little
distance from Air. Morton’s house there
was a grove, and just beyond this rose
a mound or hill which commanded a good
view for the distance of a mile. It was
in this grove that the lovers used to hold
their clandestine interviews. But the oc
casions whjen Maggie could meet her lov-
were so uncertain, that he would
sometimes seek the rendezvous for days
at a time before he met her. One morn
ing he was seated in the grove awaiting
her when he saw a female form on the
mound. In an instant he was hastening
to the spot under the supposition that it
was Maggie, but when he arrived there
was no one to be seen. Disappointed and
heart-sick he turned away. For several
mornings the same thing occurred, aud
Clark began to be perplexed and very
nervous. At length, however, Maggie
was able to meet him, and he forthwith
related to her what he had witnessed. She
was as much confounded as himself, but
they soon forgot the subject in talking
over their own affairs.
Not long afterwards poor Ann Pender
went to Mr. Morton's house, and request
ed him to give her some money, that she
might employ men to search for her miss
ing husband. At first Mr. Morton spoke
kindly to the poor creature, though he
refused her request; but when she be
came clamorous in her demand, he treat
ed her rudely and ordered his servants to
see her off the place.
‘And you refuse the supplication of
the widow?” she screamed. “Yon do,
bey? Well, I curse you, and the time
shall come when you will lose your
daughter, and yon shall seek her and not
find her.”
These were the parting words of Ann
Pender.
Some little time after this when Clark
and Maggie Morton were bolding one of
their stolen interviews in the grove, Ann
Pender was lurking near at hand. Mag
gie was telliDg her lover that she could
only spend a few moments in his society
on account of the scrutiny that was exer
cised over her movements.
“And is this to last forever?” asked
Clark in a mournful tone. “Are we to
meet and scarcely say two words of wel
come before we ssy good-by, to meet
again we know not when?”
“Be patient, Willie,” answered Marga
ret, “when I have a right to my fortune,
if my father is still opposed to our union
I will mairy you without any longer de
lay.”
“Yes,” replied Clark, “and the world
will call me a fortune hunter.”
“What will that signify?” said Marga
ret. “I know you are not; and that is
enough for me.”
“Curses on yon both,” shouted a voice
from the bushes, and a stout woman in a
tattered and faded dress stood before
them. “I have discovered you, have I?
I’ll away and give the information, and
perhaps he’ll give me the money,” and in
an instant the woman had darted off.
“'Tis crazy Ann,” Maggie called to
Clark who was pursuing the creatnre.
“Bhe is harmless.”
“But she will go and inform your lath
er,” said Clark.
“Never fear,” replied Maggie, “she
will do nothing of the kind.” But Maggie
Morton was mistaken. Ann Pender has
tened to her father and related the con
versation she had overheard in the grove,
but Mr. Morton, failing to give her
money, the woman railed against him as
she had previously done and was again
turned off the grounds.
For long days Clark waited in vain for
Maggie to appear; he was not aware of
the terrible scene that had occurred be
tween the father and daughter, when
Maggie openly admitted that she had
bee© meeting her lover.
Some time after when Clark was wait-
ing in the grove in the hope of meeting
Maggie, poor Ann Pender appearedjbe-
fore him.
“I have done a thing,” she aaid,
“whioh makes me sleepless. I gave the
wound, I will heal the wound. I did the
mischief, and I will repair it. I know
your trouble. Write a note and Ann
Pender will deliver it, safely and quickly
too.”
Clark was deceived as many are deceiv
ed by a mad person’s temporary return
to reason, and agreed to meet her in an
hour with a letter for Maggie. But he
more than half repented having done so,
when at the sight of the letter Ann Pen
der’s wildness returned. It was too late,
however, for she was gone in a moment,
clutching the note tightly in her hand.
“I was a fool to trust her,” murmured
Clark. “She will give the letter to Mr
Morton.”
He was mistaken, however. The next
day the poor creatnre met him with a re'
ply from Margaret. She had managed
to crawl under Miss Morton’s window un
observed, and delivered Clark’s note and
received a reply.
The letter of Maggie gave him some
thing to ponder on. She directed him to
keep himself concealed, and see that a
report was circulated that he had left the
country. That at nights he could repair
to a certain hollow tree iu the grove and
search for letters, and when it was neces
sary to communicate with him she would
send him some important instructions.
For two months William Clark kept him
self concealed, and only ventured out
at night to seek the grove in hopes of re
ceiving a letter. At length he was re
warded. A harried note told him that
her father was satisfied that he had left
the country, and she was not so closely
guarded as before. She, moreover, told
him to watch for her on the third morning
after he saw a small fire kindled on the
mound. The reader may judge how anx
iously Clark watched that hill until he
saw one day the thin blue smoke curling
upward from its summit. The third
morning afterward, he was at his post,
and Maggie appeared on horseback.
“To -day I am twenty-one,” she ex
claimed, and she threw herself into her
lover’s arms.
“Will you fly with me?” asked Clark.
“There is no occasion to flee,” replied
Miss Morton, “but I will marry you. Get
a horse and we will ride to town.”
William Clark required no second bid
ding; he was soon on his way to a neigh
boring town where he made Margaret
Morton his wife.
In the mean time a large company of
friends had assembled at Mr. Morton’s
house in honor of Maggie coming into
her fortune. As scon as her absence was
discovered Mr. Morton was fairly frantic
and with the guests began to search the
country for the absent one.
“Ha! ha! ha!” cried the voice of Ann
Pender, “did I not tell you that you
would lose your daughter, and not find
her? And now again I curse you, nor
will I aid you to seek her.”
The consternation of Mr. Morton and
his friends was indescribable when night
came and Margaret came not with it.
The following day a letter from his
daughter solved the mystery. She was
married to William Clark, whom he sup
posed to be thousands of miles away.
It was sometime before the baffled pa
rent could forgive his daughter. At last,
however, discovering that, resistance was
not only useless, but ridiculous, he con
sented to receive the delinquents.
Grateful for the service that Ann Pen
der had done them, Mr. aud Mrs, Clark
had the poor creature placed under the
best medical men, and were rewarded by
seeing her completely recover her reason.
ONE RIGHT OF A WIFE.
[From tho Woman’s Journal.]
A Clergyman’s Joke.—A clergyman, a
widower, residing in one of our Vermont
rural towns, recently created a first-class
sensation in his household, which consist
ed of several grown up daughters. The
reverend gentleman was absent from
home for a number of days, visiting in
an adjoining town. The daughters re
ceived a letter from their father which
stated he had “married a lady with six
sprightly children,” and that he might be
expected home at a certain time. The
effect of that news was a great shook to
the happy family. The girls, noted for
their meekness and amiable tempera-
ments, seemed another Bet of beings:
there was weeping and wailing and tear
ing of hair, and all manner of nanghty
things said. The tidy home was neglect*
ed, and when the day of arrival came the
house was anything but inviting. At last
the Rev. Mr. came, but he was
alone. He greeted his daughters aB usu
al, aud as he viewed the neglected par
lors, there was a merry twinkle in his
eye. The daughters were nervous and
evidently anxious. At last the eldest
mustered courage aud asked:
“Where is mother?”
“In heaven,” said the good man.
“But where is the widow with six chil
dren whom yon wrote you had married?"
“Why, I married her to another man,
my dears!”
It is said to have been amusing to see
those seven girls set things to rights.
“John,” said I one night to my hug’
band, as I put my basket of sewing away
preparatory to retiring, “John as you go
down to-morrow morning, I wish you
would stop at Mrs. West’s door and leave
her $5 for me.”
“Five dollars ! ” and my lord looked
up quite astonished. “For what?”
“Why, she is collecting money to aid
that society she is secretary of, and as I
-always felt interested in it, I told her
would give her $5. ”
I said this with quite a show of assu
rance, though I really felt quite uneasy as
to the reception of my request,for John is
rather notional in some of his ways; how
ever, I had been cogitating some matters
lately in my own mind, and determined
to make a bold stand.
“Well, Sarah,” at length came the res
ply, “you need not count on my doing
any such thing. I don’t approve of that
society at all, and not one cent of my
money shall go to help it.”
“I give it out of my money,” said I,
growing bolder; “I only asked you to
leave it at her door for mo.”
“Your money! What do you mean?”
“I mean what I say—my money.
Have I no right to spend money as
well as you. I don’t approve of the Ma
sons, but. that does not hinder you from
spending money and time for them as
mnch as yon have a mind.”
John looked at me quite amazed at my
sudden outbreak. You see, 1 had .always
been the most amiable of wives. Then
he broke out quite triumphantly. “Come
now, who earns the money that maintains
this^family?”
“You and I together,” said I.
“Together! Well, I should like to see
the first cent you have earned in the
seven years we have been married. To
gether! Well, I call that pretty rich. ”j
My spirits were visibly declining under
his ridicule, but I kept on as boldly as I
could.
“When we were married you thought
or pretended to think, yourself very hap
py in assuming the care of board and
wardrobe. I didn’t ask it of you. You
asked me to be your wife, knowing well
all that meant. ”
As nearly as I remember,” interrupt
ed John, you were mighty ready to accept
me.”
Granted, to save argument,” said I,
coloring.
Well, we stood up in church together
and you promised to love, cherish, etc.,
and so did I.”
“And obey, too,” said I; “but you, in
return, endowed me with all your wordly
goods, aud the minister pronounced us
man and wife, and so we have lived.”
“Yes,” said John, complacently; “and
as I look back over the time, I think I
have done what I agreed and made a
pretty good husband. I really think you
ought to be thankful when you see how
some wiveB live.”
I “Well, that is curious complaining;
what would you have me do?”
“You might have got a servant,instead
of letting all the housework fall on me;
or you might have kept a horse, so that I
could ride out and enjoy the fine weather,-
but that is all past now.”
“I should say that it cost me enough
for the doctor, nurse, etc., without talk
ing about keeping a horse.”
“True, it cost enough; but I am talk
ing abut the division of the burden. Was
the part you bore iu the payment of those
bills equal to my part in the matter?
Would you have taken my place for that
money if it were to have been paid you
instead of those who cared for you? I
think not. ”
“Didn’t I have all his clothes to buy?”
“No, sir. I went without new clothes
of any sort for a season, and the money
saved from my wardrobe supplied all that
was needed, and I might add that all his
other clothes have been got in the same
way.”
“Well, really, I had no idea how much
of a martyr you were. Next you will be
clothing me in the same way. How thank
ful I ought to be for so calculating a
wife!”
“Now, in these two yearB,” said I con
tinuing in the face of his sneer, “all of
the care and confinement consequent on
attending the child have fallen on me. I
have managed some way to accomplish
my housework and sewing as I used. I
can hardly think how it has been done.
Did it ever occur to you to think how
many times I have been to church since
he was born?”
“You wouldn’t expect a man to take
care of a baby, would you? That isn’t
man’s work.”
'‘Isn’t it?” said I bitterly; “then
wouldn’t have a baby. I have been to
church just four times, and then some
visitor had staid with Johnny. How
many times did you ever get up in the
night to sooth him when he has been sick
and fretful?”
“How do you suppose,” said he,

Tomato Soup.—Boil two and one-half
pounds of lamb in four quarts of water;
boil the lamb to shreds aud the water
down to two quarts; strain it. Peel and
cut up fine two quarts of fresh tomatoes,
mix them with the liquor; stir them very
hard, aud boil them half an hour; season
with parseley, pepper, and salt; strain
them again; stir in one tablespoonful of
butter before pouring into the tureen.
The broth in which chickens were boiled
is often preferred to the lamb.
Among the good acts which Suetonius
mentions as signalizing the commence
ment of the reign of Tiberins was the
prohibition by an edict of the oustom of
daily kissing.
“Well,” said I, “I think I have been a
domestic, prudent wife, and I don’t feel
one atom more of gratitude to you for
being a decent husband than you ought to
feel to me for being a decent wife. Is it
any more merit that you keep your mar
riage promises thau that I keep mine?”
“Sarah, you are positively very acrimo
nious to-night. Don’t you think we had
better go to bed?”
“No, sir. Well, meantime we have
laid by money to buy this house and still
have some in the bank. ”
“Thanks to my hard work!” chimed in
JohD.
“More thanks,” said I, “to the perfect
good health we have always had. We
made all these promises for better or
for worse. Now it has been better for us
all the time. Had you been sick or hon
est misfortune befallen you, I should have
managed some way to reduce our expenses
bo that yon might feel the burden as lit
tle as might be. Had I been sick, more
care wouldj have fallen on yon. But we
helped each other save, and now I claim
an equal right with you in spending
money. ”
“Whew! Why, that is treason. But go
on.”
“If we occupied the respective posi
tions of superior and subordinate,! should
do what I do for you for a fixed stipend,
and no questions should be asked as to
the use made of it. Being equals, I will
not ask compensation as a servant; but
because the contract we have made is
lifelong and not easily broken, I do not
therefore call it very magnanimous iu a
prosperous man to accept these services
and render in return only my board and
the least amount that will creditably
clothe me.”
You see I was growing irate. John’s
temper, too, was evidently on the rise.
“What do you mean by services?Hou8e-
work? I am sure a home is as much for
your satisfaction as for mine; and I am
sure the tailor does>ot leave much of my
sewing for you to do.”
“I don’t complain of housework nor of
doing your sewing; but I do think the
burden of little Johnny has fallen on me.”
“It strikes me,” said he, with a provo
king complacency of tone, “lhat if you
earned his living[yon would have less to
Fay about the burden falling on you.”
“John,” said I, “answer me honestly.
Do you work any harder or any longer
now than you did before he was bom?”
“I don’t know as I do,” said he; “I al
ways worked hard enough.”
“Well, and so do I. But how as to
Johnny. I presume you will allow your
self half owner of him, as the law allows
you entire control over him. How much
do you do for him?”
“I maintain him. I do my part.”
“No, John, you are wrong; you don’t
do your part. From the first you never
have. Did not weary months go by in
whioh you bore no part whatever of the
harden?”
could work by day if I didn’t get my
night’s sleep?”
Just the same way that I do when
mine is broken, exactly.”
Well, Sarah, what is the drift of all
this talk, any way? for I don’t see any
use in prolonging it.”
“Well, then it is my original statement
—that as I did my part of the family la
bor and took all the care of Juhnny, and
you are a man in prosperous circumstan
ces, I am eutitled to as mnch money for
that as if I were employed and paid by
the month for the same work, and I have
right to spend money for things that
don’t suit you, if I please to do so, aud I
may add,” said I, with a sudden vehe
mence, “that it is mean and contempti
ble in you to try to oppose or forbid my
doing so. ”
John said no more. I saw by the look
in his eyes that he was quite angry; and
so was I. That was the first time in oar
married life that we failed to kiss each
other good night. Indeed, I felt guilty,
though I hardly knew why, but it was
late before I fell asleep.
The next morning all was serene. No
trace remained of the evening’s storm,
but nothing more was said about the ob
noxious subscriptions. Next day I met
Mrs. West, and she thanked me very
much for doubling my money.
Dear John! He didnt’ mean to be un-
kind, bat he had never stopped to think
about such things. When his next settle
ment came, and he slipped a $20 bill in
to my hand and said, “That is for your
private purse,” I really thought he was
the best husband in the world.
A Fortiori.—The following story came
from Spain:
A Spanish sentinel one dark night was
posted at the entrance of a fort outside
of Malaga. About midnight he heard
some one approaching, and gave the usu
al challenge, equivalent to oar “Who
comes there?” To his amazement the
answer was, “Jesus of Nazareth!” He
at once called the sergeant of the guard
and reported the facts to him. The ser
geant went forward, challenged the in
truder iu his turn, and received the same
answer. Infuriated at what be consid
ered was an attempt to trifle with bim, he
knocked the man down with his musket,
and beat him severely. He then sent for
a lantern to ascertain who it was. When
the light came, he saw that it was a gen
tleman of high standing who lived in the
neighborhood, but who was out of his
mind. The sergeant, deeply regretting
his hasty action, said to the man, “I am
very sorry I hurt you; but hereafter when
I challenge you, remember to give your
own name.”
The poor victim replied, “I am not
such a fool as to do that. If this is the
kind of reception you give Jesus of Naz
areth, you would have killed me outright
if I had given my own name.”

Lord have mercy on us miserable sing
ers.”
—A young mau sent sixty cents to a
firm in Michigan who advertised a recipe
to prevent bad dreams. He received a
slip of paper on which was written:
“Don’t go to sleep.”
—The idea of teaching every r girl to
thump a piano and every boy to be a book
keeper, will make potatoes four dollars
per bushel in twenty years.
—At the picture gallery: Lady (with
catalogue)—“No. 53, ‘Eve tempted.’”
Gentleman (desirous to know the pain
ter’s name): “Who by?” Lady (shock
ed at his ignorance): “Why—by the
devil, of course.”
—A young mother, explaining christen
ing to her five-year-old boy, told him
that when he was christened he “wonld
be one of God’s little lambs.” “And
will I have hind legs and go baa!” eager
ly asked the boy.
—He was keeling at her feet and say
ing: “My preoions sweet, lingers to me
as a petunia streaked with the glorious
golden fretting of a soul which knoweth
no love so—” “O, Henry!” said she,
“that’s the cheese.”
—An Onondaga county man has had
his teeth pulled to help him to stop chew
ing tobacco. This is on the principle in
vogue among the Chinese, where they
cut off a boy’s head to cure him of
swearing.
—“Father,” said a boy who got kicked
in the face by a mule that he was annoy
ing. “Will I ever be as good-looking as
I was?” “No, my son,” answered the
parent, “I don’t think you’ll be as hand
some as yon were, but you’ll know a great
deal more. ”
—An Irishman, fresh from the old
country, saw a turtle for the first time,
and at once made up his mind to capture
it. The turtle caught him by the finger,
and he, holding it out at arm’s length,
said: “Faith, and ye had better let loose
the howlt ye have, or I’ll kick ye out of
the very box ye sit in, be j abbers. ”
—When Mrs. Van Cott comes singing
dow the ailse and fixes her reviving eyes
upon a man, and he tarns pale and trem
bles, she thinks his soul is awakened. Yet
we have seen the very same look in a
man’s face when he turned around, after
kissing the servant girl, and suddenly
encountered his wife's mother.
—A doctor asked a bachelor dry goods
clerk if his health continued good daring
the heated term, and the clerk replied:
Scalp of Mohammed! you don’t expect
a fellow to get up any gilt-edged cholera
or anything on boarding-house toast or
fried liver, do you?” The benevolent
doctor sent the destitute clerk a peck of
cucumbers.

—Let a young gentleman and a young
lady try the following scientific experi
ment: A galvanic battery is set in mo
tion, and while be takes one handle in
one of his hands she takes the other in
one of hers. Then let them softly kiss
each other. This brings out all the fire
works there are in two moving souls.
—A contemporary tells young ladies
how to arrange their hair in a fashiona
ble style: “Let it all down,” it says,
and comb it out with a cross-cut saw.
Then go up on the roof of the house,aud
stand still while the wind plays (whatever
is appropriate) with it. Then catch up
the back with a bow of ribbon, and al
low the front to stay as it is. ”
—The old man who always responds at
the wrong time was on hand at the Ocean
Grove camp ground this year as usual.
Thursday evening a clergyman, referring
to sinners in his prayer, used this expres
sion: “We see them suspended over
hell.” “Glory to God!” rang out the re
sponse with all the enthusiasm of an old
time Methodist.
—A lady at a summer resort, whose
unruly children annoy everybody in the
hotel, the other day said to a noted teach,
er, sitting near her at table. “Professor,
do you believe in the nse of the rod, in
the management of children?” The pro
fessor glared at the annoying children,
and grimly replied: “Sometimes, mad
am; bat there are cases where I should
prefer the revolver! ”
—“After all, you were only a circus ar
tist,” said a prosperous equestrian’s
daughter to a well-known aud clever ac
tress, now retired from the boards, on
meeting her behind the scenes-the other
day; “you were a member of my father’s
circus company.” “Yes,” replied the el
derly lady, with dignity; but there are
grades 6ven in a circus; your father used
to chalk my shoos. ”
—An exchange thinks that the most
important improvement now needed is a
kind of green corn with a handle grow
ing cut of each end of the cob. This, of
course, would be an advantage; but
what a large percentage of our American
citizens are most praying for a kind of
green corn that will timidly and submis
sively release its hold upon the cob before
the awful presence of a doable set of
false teeth.
—A certain registrar in an English
town is unfortunately very deaf. One
day a woman went to register the birth of
her child, and had to answer the usual
questions. To the one, “Were you pres
ent at the birth?” the astonished woman
answered: “I’m the mother of the child.”
“Bnt that is not an answer to my ques
tion,” replied the registrar. “Were you
present at the birth?” “Yes, of course,”
she said, “I was there,’’
