Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 January 1914 — Terrible Dilemma. [ARTICLE]

Terrible Dilemma.

Oqr friend Tom married recently, says a contributor to the Boston Transcript. His bride, being from the Pacific coast, where thunderstorms are rare and moderate, became terrified when a genuine eastern “rip-roarei ’’ broke loose, and she sought safety in a closet. Presently came a scream from her place of refuge. “What’s the matter?” Inquired her husband. "O Tom," she answered, half-crying, half-laughing, “I’m afraid to come ont because of the lighting, and I’m afraid to stay in here because there’s a mouse.”
