Misapprehensive Bravery.

A stout, able-bodied lady was aroused the other night by a noise in the hallway, and on going down stairs she discovered a man fumbling around in the dark. The lady immediately assailed him with the ferocity of a tigress, and ejected him from the house in quite a number of seconds less than no time at all, and slammed the door after him. As the man tumbled down the steps on to the sidewalk, he was gobbled by a policeman, and promptly marched off to the cooler. The next morning several of hey friends called and congratulated her upon the heroism displayed in throwing a full-grown burglar out of the house. “Gracious!” exclaimed the lady, growing pale and agitated, “was that a burglar?” “Why, certainly, didn’t you know it?” “Know it! Heavens.no! I thought it was only my husband home again late from the lodge, or I wouldn’t have done what I did for flie world.”— Texas Siftings. Florida is a good place for camphor trees.
