Uncle mi's
MARRYING A FAMILY
"1
M GLAD Jim Slather and Sophie .
Gherkin are married," said the I
druggist. "They are well suited to !
each other, and should live happily
ever after. Sophie Is a fine young i
woman.
Of course, she has a good j
inanv nunk rela-
tives, but Jim !
didn't marry the
family,"
'Tin afraid he
did," remarked the
village patriarch.
"A man can't mar
ry a girl like
Sophie without
having the family
thrown In. Khe
may he deter
mined to keep her
sisters and cous
ins and aunts at n
r ' J. . . A it
distance, but such
people won't take a hint. In order to
keep them off the premises, Sophie
will have to stand at the front gate
with a double-barreled shotgun, and
that would interfere with her house
work. "If n man marries a woman who
has a string of undesirable relative,
he should al once take his bride away
from them. Let him board a fust train
nnd travel us- far as the rails pi, and
then mosey into the brush, and per
haps he'll escape the wrath to come.
If he camps down in the old home
town, where those relatives are hang
ing out, he is sure to have trouble.
"My third wife was gifted with many
uncles nnd cousins and brothers and
sisters of the bargain counter kind.
Any six of them would have been dear
nt 5(1 cents. Before we were married,
I explained to Maria that I wouldn't
stand for those relatives, and she snjd
she wouldn't expect me to. She gave
me her word of honor that she wouldn't
have anything to do with them, or let
them have anything to do with her,
find she meant every word she said.
"In those days I was poor, and 1
realized that it would keep me hustling
to keep the wolf away from the door,
without having to provide for uny
cousins or aunts. About a month
after we were married, I went home
unexiiectcdly in the middle of the af
ternoon one day, and fcund my wife
filling a basket with pieces of fried
chicken, and jars of jam. and oranges,
and various expeusive things adapted
to the idle rich.
"I asked her what she was going tn
do, and she colored up and stammered
around, and finally explained that her
Aunt Hachel was dangerously sick and
she thought it would be a real kind
ness to take her a few delicacies. 'Of
course.' Maria said. 'I haven't forgotten
my promise, and I don't intend to have
anything more to do with my folks
than 1 can help, but In a case of sick- ;
ness the rules should be suspended.'
"'I nm willing to suspend them to
the extent of a slice of buttered toast
and a hard-boiled egg,' I said, 'but you
have four dollars' worth of victuals in
that basket, and that's rubbing It in
your Aunt Itaehel a little too strong.'
"So she unloaded most of the things
she had put in the basket and said I
had no heart, and went away weeping.
VV t0 tmjt moment our married life
naa l n "Ke u un"y '"""ling nm
this experience made It cloudy, and our ,
house never was the same afterwards.
I had lost confidence in my wife, and
she bad sized me up as n tyrant.
"That Aunt Hachel experience was
merely the beginning. A week or two
later I went home famishing, expecting
to see an uplifting and ennobling sup- ,
per all ready on the table, but there
was nobody at home. The lire was
out, and there was nothing to eat in t
sight. I dug up a can of salmon and ;
some crackers and had a heartbreaking 1
meal.
"About nine o'clock in the evening
my wife came home, and when I asked
her where she had been, she answered
defiantly that her Uncle Ebenezer had
i,,,,.., ..-iiuv in iii red while .homiing
down a tree, and she considered it her
duty to take care of him. I would have I
to get along the best way I could for
a day or two, she said, for she was !
going to nurse Uncle Kbenezer. Her
relatives s'oon found thnt they could '
have anything they wnuted from my !
lurder by being invalids, so they took
turns falling sick, and my wife resolved
herself into an ambulance corps. That
son or thing couldn t last long, my
friends, and it didn't."
Sure Enough.
