What's the Use of Telling a Man About

Holcomb's Experience.

fortune, but will attain to an eminence
in history not second to the greatest
warriors. luere is nothing, perhaps
(aiways excepting a stovepipe), that will
so exasperate a man as a bureau drawer
which will not shut. It is a deceptive
article, it will start off all right; then
it pauses at one end while the other
swings in as far as it can. ft is the
torn to throw the whole weight of the
person against the end which sticks. If
any one has succeeded in cA

ravor by sending his address rn this
ottice. We have seen men do this rpv

side of the room and jump with both

Then he pulled the drawer all the way
out, adjusted it nronerlv and srnrterl if
carefully back. It moved as if it was
on oiled wheels. Mr. Holcomb smiled.
Then it stopped. Mr. Holcomb looked
solemn.
"Perhaps you ain't got the ends ad

Holcomb.
Mr. Holcomb made no reply. Were it
not for an increased flush in bis face, it

Then she smiled a very wicked smile.
He grew redder in the face, and set
his teeth firmly together, and put all his
strength to the obdurate drawer, while
a hard look gleamed in his eve.
But it did not move. He pushed harder.
"Uoh, oohd" he groaned.
Im afraid you haven't got the ends
adjusted," she maliciously suggested.
A scowl settled on his face, while ht
strained every muscle in the pressure.
"What dumb fool put this drawer to

out. bhe made no replv, but she felt
that she had not known such harminess
since the day she stood before the altar
with him, and orange blossoms in her
hair.

Holcombr he jerked out.
"1 ain't done anything to it," she re
plied. "1 know better,' he asserted.
"Well, know what you please, for all
I care," she sympathizingly retorted.
The cords swelled up on his neck and
the corners of his mouth grew white.
"I'll shut that drawer or I'll know the
reason of itl" he shouted; and he jumped
up and gave it a passionate kick.
"Oh, my I" she exclaimed.
He dropped on his knees again and
grabbed hold of the knobs and swayed
and pushed at them with all his might.
But it didn't move.
"Why in Heaven's . name don't you
open the window? Do you want to
smother me?" he passionately cried.
