Fond of “ Loo.”—A fond and affectionate wife in Lancaster overheard an acquaintance remark that her husband was too fond of 100. She waited up for him that night, and when he came home demanded to know if he had been spending bis time with “Loo.” The unsuspecting husband admitted that he had, when, without giving him time to explain, she went at him with a fire shovel. The husband does not exactly remember how the interview ended, but he never could convince his wife that “ 100 ” was a game at cards, and always plays whist now, and gets home before 10 o'clock.
