Friend Wife Laughed.

I was motoring along one of our country roads in my trusty little bus with friend wife, who was carrying a most unwelcome bit of grouch, when I pulled alongside of p large, lazy sedarywith a man trying to fix it “Trouble?” I asked. “Some,” was the laconic answer. “What power car is it?” “Forty-horse,” came the answer. “What seems to be the matter with it?” . “Well, from the way she acts, I should say that thirty-nine of tbe horses were dead.” This must have been the funniest of experiences, for my wife actually laughed—right out loud. —Exchange.
