HUSBANDS FOR SALE CHEAP Woman in Her Dream Saw Men Done Up in Bunches Like Asparagus and Bold for Ten Cents. Some time ago a man was awakened in the night to find his wife weeping uncontrollably. “My darling!” he exclaimed, “what is the matter?” “A dream!” she gasped. “I have had such a horrible dream.” , Her husband begged her to tell it to him in order that he might comfort her. After long persuasion she was induced to say this r* “I thought I was walking down the street, and I came to a warehouse where there was a large placard, ‘Husbands for sale.’ You could get beautiful ones for $1,500 or even for $1,200, and very nice looking ones for as low as a hundred.” > The husband asked innocently: “Did you jee any that looked like me 7” The sobs became strangling. “Dozens of them,” gasped the wife, “done up in bunches like asparagus and sold for ten cents a bunch.”
