WAKING HIM UP
A young married lady.one morning gave her husband a. sealed letter, which he was to read when he got to his office. He did so, and the letter ran as follows: ' I am obliged to tell you something that may give you pain, but there is no help for it. You shall know everything, whatever be the consequences. For the last week I have felt that iff must come to this, but I have waited until the last extremity, and can remain silent no longer. , Do not overwhelm me with bitter reproach, for you will have to put up with your share of the trouble as well as myself.' Cold perspiration thick drops on the brow of the . husband, who was prepared for the worst. Tremblingly he read on: Our coal is all gone. Please order a ton to be sent this afternoon, i thought you might forget it for the tenth time, and therefore wrote vou this letter.' But he didn't forget it that time!
