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 Hinging. First I tried a plaintive litlla | by w iiich I meant to be tender and 77 .. ,. B , t , ip} , f ,, ( i 0V e-tail e<1 ,nto Coma /ehee tv.irhoop. Hut . I might as well have serenaded a Jffo. 12. 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. of * u earthquake in the vicinity, and 3 ,. ” e • . P**usa in Lor . mail . career for a m;nute.

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.
