Her Husband’s Letter.

A middle-aged woman had a letter handed her at the general delivery in the Postofflce yesterday and she sat down on a window-sill and read it. Her interest was intense from the start, and she spoke up and said: “ He calls me his little darling. That’s good!” After reading a few lines more she said: “And he misses my society so much!” Half way down the page she spoke again: “And he calls me his sunbeam—his guardian angel.” She climbed up on the sill a little further, turned the letter over and mused: | “ And he’s lost three pounds of flesh worrying oyer my health. He’s just a dear, loving old darling, that’s what he is!” She reached the top of the fourth page and exclaimed: “What! going to Flint, eh?” Furl her down she growled: “ And he met that red-headed Widow Kernshaw on the cars, eh? I’ll see about that. He probably didn’t tell her he was married!” She got down to the “P. 8.,” glanced over a couple of lines, and then yelled right out: “Not coming home until next week! Trains snowed in! Great press of business! I’ll see whether he isn’t coming! Bub, where’s the telegraph office?” And she ran across the street and sent him a dispatch which made’the operator’s hair stand up as he received and read it.— Detroit Free Press.
