OBLIGING HIS WIFE.
‘‘John.” exclaimed the nervous wo
man. ‘‘there’s a burglar in the house.
I am sure of it.”
John rubbed his eyes, and protested
mildly that it was imagination.
•‘No, it isn’t. I heard a man down
stairs.”
So John took a box of matches and
went down. To his surprise, his wife's
suspicions were correct. Seeing that
he was unarmed, the burglar covered
him with a revolver and became quite
sociable.
‘Isn't it rather late to be out of bed?”
he remarked.
• A—er—little bit." replied John.
‘‘You're too late, anyhow, because I've
dropped everything out of the window,
and my pals have carried them off."
••Oh. that's all right. I'd like to ask
one favor of you. though.”
“What is it?”
“Stay until my wife can come down
and see you. She has been looking for
you every night for the last twelve
years, and I don't want her to be dis
appointed any longer."—Tid-Bits.

OUR COUNTRY COUSIN.
This is how it all happened:—My two
sisters, the fashiouable Misses Sey
mour, toward the end of a certain sum
mer, having been the round of all tho
summer resorts and tiring of the last
one, suddenly remembered that some
where in the rural districts in the inte
rior of the State they possessed some
cousins of more or less nearness or dis
tance.
As a last resort, in order to overcome
the ennui that was gradually taking
possession of them, they decided to set
tle down upon those cousins for the re
maining of the late summer and tho
heated period of the autumn.
With them to decide was to act, so
with almost unfashionablo alacrity—
and my sisters wero sticklers for fash
ion, too—letters were despatched to tho
suddenly remembered cousins and the
answer to them awaited with breath
less impatience.
They came at lost, bearing the most
cordial invitation for my sisters to fol
low their inclinations ami come up into
tho country at their earliest conveni
ence.
To say that my sisters jumped at the
chance would bo wholly misleading: my
sisters never jumped at anything; they
were entirely too elegant for that.
Rut with surprising haste they an
swered, informing their hostesses when
they would arrive, and then on tho
heels of the letters swept up Into tho
country, bag, bandbox and baggage.
Letters told us how they found tho
cousins, a charming widow and her
daughter, with a fino old place, and,
what blessed it, real country hospitali
ty. The widow was set down as a per
son wholiad seen something of life and
tho daughter was voted nioc, though a
trifle, old-fashioned.
As father anil I were very busy In j
town that summer we did not join tho
ladies in the country, lmt merely took
a week’s fishing at one of our favorite
haunts and went right back to work
again, so it was not until early October
when tho girls camo back to town,
brown as berries and full of tho pleas
ures of their trip, that I received a reg
ular "detailed description of my cousin
Harriet and her daughter Alice.
And from the description I gathered
that tho young lady was a person who
would do well—for the country.
Indeed, niy sisters gave me very
plainly to understand that our cousin,
Alice Seymour, would not shine under
the city’s lamps.
in a few days after their return there
was nothing new to tell either of their
trip or of their entertainers, and I
heard no more of my country cousins
until one day inearly winter, when the
female portion of the household was
thrown into sudden consternation by
the arrival of a letter from Mrs. Har
riet Seymour, in which she informed
my sisters nnd their maternal parent
that she would like to have her daugh
ter spend a month in town with them.
There were sundry other remarks of
a pleasant and personal nature in the
letter, but they were! hardly noticed in
the all obscuring importance of the de
sire expressed.
Sister Florence came to me with in
dignation written in every feature.
“To think," she exclaimed, “Cousin
Alice wants to come here."
“Well, why shouldn't she?" I asked.
“Why shouldn’t she?" echoed Flor
ence “Why. it simplay efin’t be done.”
“Why not?’’
My s.ster did not deign to answer me,
but swept away in great indignation.
It was Caroline next who expressed ta
me how awful the idea was. I expressed
my entire Inability to see its awfulness,
and was told by my sister that men
didn’t understand these things at all.
“I understand. ’ I think," said I .“that
you accept the hospitality of people
kvhose kindness you are unwilling to re
turn," and Caroline left me in disgust.
Then mother whispered to me confi
dentially that she couldn’t see how she
was going to avoid having that girl,
come, and was entirely amazed when I
a-ked why she she should wish to avoid
“Why, it would never do in the world,
Hubert,” said mother. "I love the girl
as well as any one can. but you know
that the country and city are so differ
ent.”
“Is my cousin a lady?” I asked.
“To be sure,” said my mother, “but”
“Is she an idot?”
“Why, certainly not, but”
“Can she tell a train of cars from a
hansom?”
“Hubert!”
“Well, then, I can't see why it's going
to be such a terrible tiling to bring her
to the city.
My mother left me with the parting
assurance that men never could appre
ciate such difficulties.
Iiut, after studying it, they could find
no way but to allow the girl to come, and
come she did.
The girls wanted to send a servant to
meet her, but I Insisted on going my
self, so Florence went with mo.
I could hardly believe that the dainty
little lady in the gray traveling suit,
who answered my sister’s greeting with
a quiet smile, was the objectionable
country cousin. She was a lady all over
i from her charming hat to her pretty lit
tle walking boots.
She was so pretty »hat as I looked at
