Simply because he can haul two bales

IMmu,........_ _
One night at the supper table my
wife asked if it were true that I had
been telling people that I took cold
hatha every morning both summer and
winter. I tried to change the subject
but she wouldn't let me and proceeded
to relate a conversation she had had
with a neighbor lady that afternoon.
This lady wanted to know just how I
took those baths, how long I stayed in
the water, what kind of towels I used
and also if she thought it would be
good for her husband’s rheumatism.
Before I could frame up a reply she
proceeded to bless me out for lying to
the neighbors and if I thought she was
going to corroborate these stories I
was badly mistaken, and while it was
decidedly humiliating for her to pub-
licly confess that I lied, she felt it her
duty to tell the lady if I had ever
taken a cold bath it must have been
before our marriage. "The very idea,”
said she “of telling your friends that
you plunge into a tub of cold water the
first thing of a morning after getting
out of bed, when I have hard enough
time of even making you wash your
fqce before coming to the breakfast
table. If I were you I would go to my
friends and acknowledge to them that
I had lied and ask their forgiveness.”
“Madam,” I began severely, “You
have done me a great injustice in the
eyes of our neighbors, and if you have
the respect for me that a wife should
have for a truthful, law-abiding hus-
band, you should lose no time in going
to this lady and explaining to her that
you were mistaken, that I had been
taking these baths regularly, unbe-
k no wing to you, as I was afraid you
would object on the ground that it
would be dangerous to my health.
Madam, you didn’t know that I had
been quietly slipping out of bed every
morning summer and winter while you
slept and taking these cold water
baths, but now that you have found
out my secret, from this time on, I
shall go forth boldly on arising each
morning and splash and flounder in
my tub in the most boisterious man-
ner.” “Very well,” she said, “be sure
and let me know in the morning when
you go to take your bath.
The weather was freezing cold, but
I made up my mind to take that bath
even if it left me a frozen corpse. I
dreamed that night of skating on ice,
clad only in a summer undershirt and
was chased by a polar bear. So fitful
had been my sleep by these rigid
dreams, that I finally decided to have
the matter over with and got up about
an hour before day and staggered intq
the bath room turning chairs over as I
went, so my wife would be sure and
hear and turned the water on in the
tub and proceeded to divest myself of
my night apparel then with a shudder
that convulsed my Grecian frame from
center to circumference stood like an-
other September morn and gazed at
the fast filling tub of liquid ice and,
cursed myself for being a liar. It was
another ease where the spirit was will-
ing but the flesh weak. I stuck one of
my big toes in the water but withdrew
it with great haste. But something
had to be done, for I knew the wife of
my bosom was wide awake and await-
ing results. Then a happy thought
came to me when my eyes fell upon a
broom—I would take it and make a
noise like a fellow bathing. Thank
goodness it worked all right and after
souzing it up and down in fhe water
for about two minutes, I turned with
a glad heart and started to put on my
gown and then something happened
that wrecked my system — my wife
threw a bucket of ice cold water down
my back.
Gentle readers how high have you
ever known a fellow to jump? I claim
to hold the record for the highest sin-
gle jump ever made by mortal man
when that ice water struck my spine.
No telling how high I would have gone
had it not been for that twelve-foot
ceiling that interfered with my head.
Also how loud did you ever hear a
poor fellow yell? Another thing I did
after making that awful jump, never
before successfully accomplished by a
human being and that was to climb a
perpendicular wall like a house cat.
I shall not barrow up the feelings of
the reader by dwelling upon this pain-
ful accident, for the rest of the deal is
crimination and recrimination between
husband and wife and think it best
that the public be kept out of it.
“For many years afterwards, in re-
fering to things that happened would
say: “That was the winter that my
husband took that cold-water bath.’’
No, I’m not taking any more cold
water baths, and pven if I did I would
keep it to myself, as I wouldn’t want
the public to know that I was a dum
fool.
J. M. Allen, who has been living in
and around Stephenville the past
twenty-five years, left Tuesday for
Flomont, Texas, where he will enter
the hotel business. These good peo-
ple will carry with them the best of
good wishes from their many friends
in Stephenville and Erath connty.
Have You Appendicitis
And Don’t Know It?
Much so-called stomach trouble is
really chronic appendicitis. This can
often be relieved by simple glycerine,
buckthorn bark, etc., as mixed ir Ad-
lerika. Most medicines act only on
lower bowel but Adlerika acts on
BOTH upper and lower bowel, and re-
moves all gasses and poisons. Brings
out matter you never thought was in
your system. Excellent for obstinate
constipation.—The Cross Drug Store.
