A Sharp Husband.

“Blifkins went and married a widow twenty years older than himself, didn’t he?” remarked Sam Sample to a fellow traveler. “Yes; very extraordinary attachment. ” “I’m sorry for Blifkins. Such marriages never turn out happily. I’ll bet she keeps him in hot water most of the time. ” “No; on the contrary, she attends his slightest wish. She was boss for awhile, but he found a wav to change all that.” - .“How did he do it?” “Why, you see, whenever she showed an inclination to keep things warm, Blifkins would threaten to call her ‘ma’ in company. He never had to put his threat in execution. ” Mr. Buchter, a well-known citizen of Lancaster, Pa., has used St. Jacobs Oil, and considers it an excellent remedy in cases of swellings, bruises and burns.
