How He Knew Her.

“Did you ever see my wife?” asked Flattery of Green. “No, can’t say that I did; but I know just how she looks, and can tell you all about her.” “You can?” “Yes. She’s got coal-black hair, snapping black eyes, and a mighty big, hard hand.” “By George! you’ve hit it. How did you guess so accurately ?” “Well, I saw you coming down town the other morning wijth one black eye, and looking as if you had made the acquaintance of a broom-handle, six rolling-pins, and a hard fist.” —Boston Sunday Times.
