HE MEANT TO \VORRY HIS \VIFE, BUT HE DIDN'T. “ I don’t think I’ll try any more prac- tical jokes on my wife. They don’t pan out well.” “ Elucidate.” ' “ You see, she has a habit of hoisting * the window in our room every night. As I usually go to bed last, she depends on me to hoist it. Sometimes W I forget it, and then there’s a Wild 0 squabble. Frequently she wakes me up in the night and asks me to see if it is streets. ' open If I don't, she nags at me until morning. “A night or two ago I resolved to give her a hard scare. I rolled up a lot of old newspapers into a lone: bundle and laid the package down by the win- dow. Of course she was asleep and didn't hear me. Then I opened the window a little way and crept into bed. Some time after midnight she nudged me and said : “ ‘Jim, I’m sure you didn’t open that window. It‘s like a bake oven in the room. Get up and see.’ “ So I got up. wont to the window and threw the sash as high as it would go. As I did so I gave a little shriek add then flung my bundle down to the walk below. It struck with a dull thud, and I dodged behind the curtain to await developments. The room was very dark, and I couldn’t see my wife, but I heard her raise herself to a sit- . ting posture. Then she Spoke. “ ‘ Poor old Jim! ‘ she quietly said. ‘ He’s tumbled out of the window in his raggedest nightshirt. What a spec- tacle he’ll be when they find him in the morning! ’ Then she lay down again and went to sleep.” “ What- did you do ? " “Stood there shivering: for a minute or two and then sneaked into bed.”â€" CcheZamZ Plain Dealer. â€"._ u w. v- o â€"â€"-A ~â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"- v Little Willie’s Sang Froid.
