Woman Had Business Foresight.

When a woman gets married there are many things to be taken into consideration; but not all brides evince such business foresight as the heroine of the following story, told by the Rev. W. F. Sheridan to a writer for the Chicago Tribune. The bride was large and heavy, and the groom small and meek looking. Everything was regular. After the ceremony the bride explained her position^ “You see,” she said, “farm hands are mighty hard to get in this part of the country, and harder to keep. You get a good hired man and get him well broke in and the first thing you knqw he quits and goes off to town or somewhere else. Last spring I had a first class hand, about as good as I ever expect to get, and Just when the season got right busy he up and quit me. “I just made up my mind that I wasn’t going to be left in the same fix this summer, so here we are.” The bridegroom had nothing to say at all. He Just stood and smiled meekly.
