WHEN WIFE
WASAWAY
An Albany Man had a Live Time
CctAirig.
The following written by an Albanv
man to his wife, while away, beats the
runny papers.
Dear Wife: Things are not roino-
well here.
I got tired at mush and bread and
thought I'd have some cakes. I nut
some batter in a jar. put in salt, two
eggs, a spoonful of baking powdtr, one
small package of yeast cakes, and set
it behind the stove before going to bed,
and covered it with a plate. Ihe next
morning the Dr.VIL was to pay. The
plate was up side-down on the carpet,
the dough had run to the foot of th
lounge. I gathered up a r'ishpan of
dough, and the jar was running over.
What I couldn't got I dried up with
ashes and put a rug over. I put on the
griddle, couldn't find any lard, so I took
some beeswack to grease the griddle.
The cakes stuck, and I couldn't turn
them with a knife; had to use a chisel
and hammer, I wanted to use up as
much dough as I could, so I baked a
good lot of them, they had a sickening
smell and I couldn't eat a mouthful.
Jack and the cat hadn't had anything
for three days so 1 set out a panful to
them. Jack smelt them, looked up at
me, turned around, stuck his tail bo-

to the chickens. The Black Rooster
picked up one, dropped it, and went off
talking to the hens. In about five min
utes they were ail huddled up in the
corner of the fence like they do when
they see hawks, After the cat died I
gathered up the cakes, put them in the
dough jar, dug a deep hole and buried
them with the mouth down for fer
they would crawl out. FRANK.
