A HUSBAND’S PRACTICAL JOKE.
Mr- Mason Writes a 8tem-wrndine Love
Letter which gets Him into Trouble.
There is a young married man in thia
city to'whom the Christina* holiday, have
been anything but a wawn ot rejoicing.
In the midst ot general hilarity and mer-
riment he goes about wearing upon hi.
countenance a down-trodden and hope-
less look, and when he sees a blonde-
headau woman coming down his side ot
the street he passes over quickly to the
other side. So cursed with melancholy
and an unnatural hatred of all cheerful
society does he seem that his condition
has alarmed his friends, but all efforts to
cheer him up or to ascertain the cause
ot his despondency have proven fruitless.
The Gazetteer however, with its usual
penchant for solving the mysterious has
placed itself in possession of the follow-
ing tacts, which it gives to its readers sub-
stantially without coloring:
Mr. Mason-—we call the young man
Mason to avoid any unpleasant develop-
ments that might result from the publica-
tion ot his real name, which is brnith—
Mr. Mason is the husband ot a wife sev-
eral years his junior, who, (despite the
fact that Mr. M. is, and always has been,
the most coy and timid of men, and a
known coward among women,) persists
in thinking him a gay Lothario, whose
wiles as a heart-breaker are simply irre-
sistible. flow she came to acquite this
estimate of her husband’s attributes,
perhaps she can explain—we can not.
The fact however, remains that this has
been her delusion, and the result has
been ot late many jealous anxieties tor
the young wite and petty annoyance, in
corresponding measure, tor the oveer-
estimaied husband. Mrs. Mason has in-
sisted for months upon having a full
explanation ot her husband’s doings while
out of her sight, upon reading his letters
and upon his rendering a strict account
ot his goings in and comings out, both
among men and women. A lingering
suspicion that he might be supporting
another woman somewhere in the city
seems to have possessed the ladv, and
when Mr. M. has intimated that he would
like to go up town in the evening she has
invariably insisted upon going along with
him. Sundav her peevish demand to
read a fetter he was writing to a gentle-
man friend brought about a quaricl, and
after a reconciliation, which was brought
about as usual by Mr. Mason surrender-
ing all the rights he had claimed in the
premises, each formed a resolution, the
practical carrying out ot which const!
tutes the excuse tor this narrative.
Monday morning Mr. Mason went to
his office and taking a letter pad out ot
his desk wrote
up here and kill you”—hysterically—'kill '
you stone dead.*’
Mr. Mason saw hi* wife snatch the
fatal letter from the hand of hi* blonde-
headed heroine, and without stopping to
see or hear more, he seized hi* hat and
rushed wildly from the house. He sought
solace tor the balance ot the night in the
wire cvp, and having forgotten his !
grief—pkewise his own name—he was
taken home in a delivery wagon and put j
to bed in the spare room, in the back ot j
the house. What little sleeping he does !
is still done in this room, as the atm os- |
phere of his wite's presence continue to
be several degrres below the freezing ;
point. He is watching with fear and ap-
prehension for the coming of that brother !
from Louisiana, and meantime he ha*
resolved that it he should live to be as old
as Methuselah he will never attempt to
play another practical joke on his wife.

A Woman Two Hundred Years Old’
A case is On record of a woman who
lived to this advanced age, but it is scarce-
ly necessary to state that it was in “t|ie
olden time.’! Now-a-davs too many
women do niot live halt their allotted
years. The mortality due to functional
derangements in the weaker sex is simply
frightful, to say nothing ot the indescrib-
able suffering which makes lite scarcely
worth the living to so many women. But
for^these sufferers there is a certain relief.

Denison, Texas, Dec. 23, ’89.
My Peerless Darling Mattie:
I write because I don’t wish to betray
our love by too many calls at the store.
I have a scheme for spending Christmas
night, and I know it will meet with my
love’s approval. I know ot a place in
Sherman where we can go and be alone
together as long as we wish, and no one
will be the wiser. I will plead business
as an excuse for going over in the after-
noon, and you can come over at 6 p. m
and join me. We will re’urn at ti p. m.
and as we may take different coaches and
you can go from the Denison depot home
in a carriage by yourself, there cannot
possibly be any suspicion Oh, how my
heart burns with impatience for your
reply, and how I long to hold you in my
arms as I did Saturday night in Fort
Worth. Oh, the cc&tacy of that night
The cozy little room on the second floor
the incandescent lights, the wine and the
big plush chair with my matchless dar-
ling reclining in it—the picture intox-
icates me even now. How I long for
Wednesday night to cotne, tor 1 know
that my priceless, loving, delicious, dar
ling will not disappoint me. Waiting
with feverish impatience for a reply, yet
knowing that in the sweetness of her
angelic nature my darling will not have
the heart to say no.
1 remain with thousands ot kisses, vour
passionate, idolizing, wildly, madly, lov
ing lover. ’ Henry
This letter Mr. Mason folded up with
many an inward chuckle, and, putting
it in an envelope, sealed it. Then stick-
ing on a two-cent stamp to make it look
regular, he wrote the superscription
‘ Miss Mattie Blanchard, City,’' and put
it in his overcoat pocket | In order to
make the above oeifectly clear it should
be explained'that “Miss Ma'ttie Blanch-
ard” is a blonde-headed lady clerk in one
of our popular mercantile establishments,
ot whose charms Mrs Mason had on
several occasions accused her husband
ot being enamored, but with whom he
really has but a slight acquaintance.]
That day after dinner Mr. Mason took
out his tropical letter and fixing it in the
folds of a newspaper to make it look as
though it had accidentally stuck there, he
placed it upon the dresser, and came off
up town. He spent the afternoon in con
gratulating himself upon being the slyest
dog that lived, and in picturing to himself
the wild-eved fury ot his wife when she
should read that letter, and how disgusted
she would be when she found that it
was a sell.
“She will make such a fool ot herself
over this that I will have the laugh on her
tor five years,” he said to himself, as he
started for home, and he took a good
long laugh then and there in anticipation
of the tun that was coming. When he
opened his front door he expected to
meet thunder clouds, but instead received
a radiant welcome. “She hasn’t found
the letter” he thought, and uttered an
inward imprecation upon the luck. Then
he looked furtively about upon the dress-
er, but the letter was not there—“She
has got it,” he mentally resolved, “and
is disguising her feeling] so as to lift me
clear out ot water when she does open
up.” He ate his supper wondering at his
wife’s pleasant conversation, and as he
sat down to read the evening paper it be-
gan to dawn upon him that something
had gone wrong. Then Mrs. Mason ap-
proached him, and leaning over his
chair said :
ou leit a letter on the dresser at
noon Henry.”
It was corning he thought, with an in-
ward chuckle.
“A letter?” vaguely, as if trving to re-
collect something. “What kind ot a
letter?”
,‘A letter addressed to Mi
Blanchard.”
He gave a great start, meant
the idea ot terror and surpr ise.
“To Miss Blanchard,” he cried. “Where
is it? What did you do with it? Give it
to me.”
“I haven’t got it,” replied his wife,
sweetly. “1 resolved Sunday night that I
never would be suspicious ot vou again,
and when 1 found your letter l knew it
was only about some business matter, so
I sent it right down by Mary to the
post office.”
Mi. Mason tell back in his chair with a
groan. “For heaven’s sake don’t tell me
that you posted that letter,” he gasped.
“Certainly, dear llenrv. It was all
stamped and addressed, and what
could vou want done with it but have it
posted?”
Mr. Mason sprang to his feet and made
a rush tor his hat, but betore he could
break from Ins wite’s restraining arms
there came a rap at the door, and a lady
entered. One look at the blonde head
was enough for Mr. Mason, and he sank
helplessly into a chair.
‘•I have come, Mr. Mason,” said the
lady, with suppressed fury in her voice,
“to ask it you wrote this letter,” hold-
ing the damning document up before his
dilating eyes, and flashing upon him a
look that was withering.
“Yes, he certainly did,” interposed his
wite. “I posted it tor him this after-
noon.”
“And vou did this, knowing what it
contained ?”
Proudlv and hautilv "my husband
does nothing in which I do not corcur
full v.”
“Then I blush for your womanhood. I
came here expecting to meet only a
masculine coward and brute, who finds
I his pastime in insulting detenseless
j women, but I find not only this, but what
is worse, a wretched ternale creature, to
low to be called by the name of woman,
aiding and abetting him in his nefarious
designs.”
“Oh, Henry, do vou hear what she is
saving? Are you go ng to sit there and
hear yourself and me abused?”
“Yes. No, my dear—the tact is. Miss
Blanchard, there has been a mistake_”
“ There has been no mistake,” burst-
j ing into tears. “The letter was written
I by you and addressed to me. You
j thought I was poor and without friends,
j and you could insult me with impunitv,
j but f will show you—I have a brother in
j Louisiana. You have a scheme tor

J and you know I will not refuse you?
j There is a place in Sherman where we

ipated right merrily. The pleasures of

A. H. Coffin and family spent last
Thursday at Preston Bend, the guests of
Mrs. Judge Porter, whose model planta-
tion home and warm-hearted Southern
hospitality are so widely celebrated in
this region. The weather was charming,
the roads in their best condition and
the fitteen-mlle drive proved but a proper
appetizer tor one of those sumptuous
dinners for which Aunt Sophie is noted,
and whose equals bevond the confines ot
the Porter homestead are unknown. To
sav that the dav was passed most enjov-
ablv would be superfluous, considering
where it was spent, and who was the en-
tertainer, nor is it necessary to say that in
leaving the guests received a pressing
invitation to come again. The drive
home in the early moonlight was by no
means the least enjoyable feature of the
trip, the anomolv ot a May-tide atmos-
phere and a December sky investing the
experience with a strange and novel de-
iight. think of driving fifteen mile
through the country on a December
night (the last week in December at that)
without overcoat, gloves or wrap, the
grass growing green in the field* all
around you, ard the air as balmy as a
night in June. Think of the song-birds
and the sighing zephyrs, and the big
round moon smiling down through mildly
tempered space from the cloudless vault
of a Southern sky. Then think of the
Ncy them hlizzard, the leaden heaiens
and the howling blast that makes arctic
over-shoes tee! like paper sandals, and
buffalo coats like linen dusters. Think
of this a little w hile and try to grasp the
full significance ot the double picture,
and you will be very apt to conclude that
the resident ot Denison has iris lines cast
in rather pleasant places.

HETTIE BERNARD CHASE.
in our advertising space this week will
be found the announcement ot the ap-
pearance of one ot America’* popular
soubrette favorites Hettie Bernard Cha*e,
at the McDougall opera house on next
Wednesday night, January t*t. Thi*
popular comedienne comes with the most
flattering enconiums ot the pre*s both
upon her piece, her company and her
acting. The following verdict of the St.
Augustine (Fla.) Chronicle is the opinion
generally voiced by the press: “Charm-
ing, lovable and magnetic Hettie Ber-
nard Chase appeared at the Genovar
opera house this evening to standing
room only. She gave the best perform-
ance ot the season. She is one ot the
brightest and most natural soubrette
actresses the St. Augustinians have ever
seen, and she completely captured her
audience with her dclighttul ‘Chic’
and merry rippling laugh. She sings,
dances and plays the banjo in a most
wonderful manner. Her supporting com-
pany is all that can be desired,and her plav,
“The Little Coquette,” is a long to be
remembered character creation contain-
ing a story that appeals straight to every
honest heart, lt is the story of the love
of a Federal for a fallen Confederate sol-
dier's child. It was a great performance
from first to last.
