He Was Conquered.

! Yesterday some people coming in on one of the ferries saw a large family towed along by a dapper, pink-faced little man. The family consisted of one Wery largo wife, two very neat nurses, five babies, assorted sizes, and seventeen bags and bundles. The little man led the way out of the ferry house, called a, carriage, and packed everything, even to the last bag, neatly in. Then he said to the driver: “To the Windsor.” And then, with hand on the door, he said affably to his wife: “Now, my dear, you’re ail comfortable, and I’ll go uptown on the elevated and meet you at the Windsor, ” and gave the carriage door a bang as he backed off. But the large wife was more than a match for him. She' palled the window down like a flash and called out to the driver, “Don't youl move!” and then to her recreant spouse, who was sheering off with smiles, she thus addressed herself: “Here, sir, you don’t do that! This circus belongs to you, and you travel with It. You come back in this carriage!” And he suddehly grew grave and meek, and crawled Into a small corner of the carriage, looking not half so happy as a man should who owned such a circus and had the privilege of traveling with it.— New York Evening Sun.
