A RECOLLECTION.

A good many years ago there was a-mellow-faced and soft-musclcd species of humanity employed on a Rensselaer newspaper. His shape indicated that he fed on red clover and green oats, but his breath gave evidence that his diet was composed of buzzards and other carion. His wife worked occasionally as an “extra” typesetter in the office. One day she occupied a stool at a case alongside another, where a youth of the town was setting type. The lady’s husband was busy getting the old Prouty press ready for the day’s run. Suddenly thevforeman” jumped up and charged toward the youth and accused him of having kissed the foreman’s 'wife. The good woman was frightfully mortified, the youth and another employe in the office were greatly amused. The accused young man informed the irate husband that he would not kiss his wife over the telephone. The foreman feigned sickness, took his wifey and went home. Since then the flat-footed and shuffling husband has drifted from place to -place, attracting about as much attention wherever he happened to spend a season as the coming .and going of a grade mare. The woman, strange to believe, has continued at his side, but whether or not the stigma he cast upon her by the charge so foolishly made almost a quarter of a century ago has been effaced from her memory, will probably never be known. >
