was if any li ving female
wife exists at the present tims with
a more attenuatnd stock on hand, I just
want nno good, square look ut her, and
then I’d be willing to biro an able-bod
ied man to kick me for two days on a
stretch.
There may b* a good deal of ms of
no earthly good; but, thank lisaven,
there ain’t much fooljshness about me.
I believe in wives staying at home and
attending to tlieir own affairs. This
way of gallivanting around among
neighbors to swap scandal and show
off seems a m-glity foolish thing to me,
and I have so told Mrs. Arter time and
again. Hut what’s tho uso talking to a
woman who has no reason in her I
Now, the other night some of our
smart-aleck neighbors got up one of those
high-handed frauds they call aa old
time gathering. My wife doesn't claim
to lie old folk*, but she saw there was
a chance to show off her new bombazine
polonaise and hear all the fresh scandul,
so she ups and begs me with that coax¬
ing whine some women never forget,
to lake care of the baby for her, swear¬
ing by the eternal that she would only
stay a short time and be back by nine,
o’clock, certain. Well, I thought, the
baby kept her pretty close at home,
and'as she didn’t gel much chance to
go out, I promisod to take care of
tb» angel. Hut let it bo recorded in
letters of living fire that I’ll never
make such promise again asj long as I
live. I don’t know what I’ll do when
I’m dead, but while I’m in the flesh
my resolution is as strong as steel, and
don’t you allow the information to
forsake your memory.
Mrs. Al ter dressed up and primped
up, and sprinkled flour on her face and
otherwise ,, disguised . . ltersclf .. until , she ,
really looked like the Mrs. Arter of
twenty years ago. I felt a sort of hus
bandly pride as she flounced out of the
room as giddy as a gaudy butterfly, and
actually thought she looked quite
starchy. She left full instructions as
to the management of the angel who
was then snoozing away in the cradle.
The drug store waa s«t out on the mau
tie—soothing syrup, paregoric, hive sy
vup, catnip tea, etc., and I felt equal to
any emergency.
In ten minutes after Mrs. Arter left
the house the angel woke up. She had
evidently been the victim of a horrible
nightmare, foi she woke up kicking and
snorting. I instantly marshalled all my
pacifying forces and commenced opera
tions to suppress the rcWlion .'..its in
fancy. The horror of the nightmare
hung onjiike wax to the four-raontiis-oid,
‘for she refused my pacifying measures
with the roost vehement ardor. I tried

store Indian. Tba four-raonth-old aim- j
ply reared back on its haunches and
beat me lu the vocal line. She gave me
two in tha deal, and a full hand, and yet
1 had to beg. She opened her mouth so j
wide that I oould see her little liyer-pad
flopping up and down like a dry rag in a j
March wind. She failed to appreciate
my vocal talents, so I swayed her iu my j
arms as a ship rocks in n storm. The i
storm was a success, but the ship didn’t ■
calm worth a cent. I looked for a pin j
but that the might have drifted the wrong way, j
pins were all right. The storm j !
continued to increase and rage with
unabated fury. For one solid half hoar
I played that ship business, during
which I sung all the tunes I ever .hoard
or oer expect to hear. I would have
swayed her longer, but my arms gave !
W;ty. They felt as if they had boo a set
down on l>y a tired locomotive, and I
gave up the sad sea waves business with
disgust. Finally I thought of the sooth- j I
ing syrup, and while her mouth Wat
spread ■
open big enough for a wet dog to j
bare crawled in it, I pouted half the j
bottle down her and ast wished her
lioalthly lungs with a hath. After that ,
C yanked off the quart bottle of paregur- j
ic so as to ba ready to swamp her in it if
the exigencies of tho occasion deman
ded.
Yet she continued to howl, I laid
her down in the cradle, thinking to re¬
cuperate my patience, which was com¬
pletely and emphatically exhausted.
The cradle had no pacifying charms. I
know site was the smartest little thing
that ever breathed, but doggone it, sho
was too fretful without sufficient cause.
I rocked her and l rocked her. When
she gave an uararthly yell, I’d give
an unearthly rock, but I felt like I’d Iwen
stealing sheep every time I done it. And
thus we got along. She’d howl and I’d
rock. Sometimes I’d rock hard enough
to make her think there ware symptoms.

'** red-hot howls all the same,
It was now half past ten o’clock, JJrs.
After being an hour and a half overdue,
and just ns I was deliberating whether
to throw the angel in the tiro, or to
leave it to squall out its life in the cra
die while I went down town to drown
my sorrows, tho gay and festive Mrs,
Al ter cams tripping in Uk# a school
girl,
I said nothing harsh, nor did I speak
of ! he agony that hud crushed my very
soui for the past fow hours, but I placed
the angel in her arms and eat down to
wilt and rest. Mrs. Arter simply gave
* flirt to her collar, opened the restau¬
rant, and iu two minutes the angel had
a seraphic emtio on her face and was
crowing with joy, just as if tho world
hadn’t been turned upside down and
lynch law in four feet of her a few min¬
utes ago.
I have decided that as a one-horse
printer 1 might make my grub, but as
a nurse I’m the supremeat failure in
