A mac was awakened in the night to find his wife weeping uncontrolably. "My darling," he exclaimed, "what is the matter." "A dream!" she, gasped. "I've had such a horrible dream!" Her husband begged her to tell it to him in order tiat he might comfort her. After long persuasion, she said: "I thought I was walking down ike sfcreet> and I came to a warehouse} where tkerfc was a large notice, 'Husbands for Sals.' You could get beautiful ones for fifteen hundred pounds. or even for twelve hundred, and very nice-looking ones for as low as a hundred." Ths husband asked innocently; "Did you see any that looked like me ?' } The sobs became strangling. "Dozens of them," gasped the wife: "done up in bunches like asparagus. and sold for ten shillings a bunch."
