Then He Wilted.

There is a distinct frigidity to the atmosphere imthe home of Isaac Wilt, retired farmer, in Valparaiso, whenever the subject of groceries and delivery boys is mentioned in the hearing of the ma si er of the household. There’s a reason: Mrs. Wilt 'telephoned a C. O. D. order. There was the customary delay In delivery and Mrs. Wilt stepped across the street to a neighbor’s, leaving Mr. Wilt to receive and pay for the groceries. The boy with an armful arrived and laid his load on the taWe. Mr. Wilt scanned the bill and paid it from a pocketbook in which reposed five, S2O bills. He laid the purse on the table and proceeded to confirm the bill by an inspection of the goods, depositing the wrappings on that part of the table where the pocketbook lay. Everything being found satisfactory, he swept the wrappings and purse into a bundle and threw it into the stove. Indianapolis News.
