He Got a Telegram lie had not
been marred very lonsr'and was get
ting nlong happily, wheiuthe pleasant
tenor of his life was warped by the
receipt of a telegram from his war
like mother-in-law, announcing her
arrival on a cortain train. He met her
dutifully; and carried her load of bun
dlos up homo, smiling, but vengeful,
and she no sooner got there than she
assumed entire command of the estab
lishment, Including himself. He bent
every faculty to devising waya and
moans of ousting her and at last skil
fully paints himself to a life-like Im
age of a small-pox patient; goes to bed
and the scheme works like a charm.
