Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 January 1910 — Bread and Cheese. [ARTICLE]

Bread and Cheese.

A couple advanced in years got married lately. The husbdnd had a room in the house securely locked, the inside of which his wife had never seen, and, being curious of its contents, she begged again and again to see the room. At last he consented, and, lo and behold, the room was full of whole cheeses! He explained matters by telling her that for every sweetheart he had in his young days he bought a cheese. His wife began to cry. "Don’t cry, dear,” he said. “I’ve had no sweethearts since I met you.” “It’s not that,” she replied, still sobbing. “I only wish I had been as thoughtful as you and bought a loaf of bread for every man that kissed me. We could have had bread and cheese enough to last us all our days.” —London Tit-Bits.
