Just Like a Man.

A man suffered from inflammatory rheumatism, and his wife nursed him patiently. He had a vary fault-finding disposition, but she was very patient and also very fond of him. After an especially severe attack, a friend called to inquire after him. The patient wore a mournful expression. ‘'Well,” said the friend, cheerfully, ‘‘how are you today?" “Very badly,” replied the rheumatic sufferer, “and it’s all my wife’s fault.” “Why,” cried the friend in astonishment. “Is it possible?” “Yes,” moaned the invalid, “you know, the doctor told me always to avoid damp places; and there my wife sits and cries just to make the air moist around me.”
