   Went to expo last week, and printed this article before turning the paper over to his wife. "The News is out ahead of time this week and not worth a cuss when you get it, all because the writer is attending teh peace jubilee and hobnobbing with President McKinley and the other big guns who are in Omaha this week. We have several free tickets to the shows down there and in order to save them we are actually going to blow in about $4.10. In other words, we are going to take a day off, buy 5 cents worth of peanuts and have a darn good time. During our absence we trust the neighbors will look after our widow and orpha. If you owe the office anything pay it to our little cross-eyed frou, whom you will find in charge of the shop--God knows she needs it, for she hasn't had a new hat since, in a moment of mental aberration, she said she would take the writer for better or worse, and has found out that it was a blamed sight worse than her friends told her it would be. So by all means, come in and pay up, for you are sure to pay the better half of the firm, besides observing our excellent taste in selecting a wife who is competent and willing to attend to business while we bum. We confess that she, being Irish, red-headed and with several grown freckles upon her face, does not improve her temper or personal beauty any, but she is a mighty smart old girl all the same and supports me and the seven or eight little Shaks in pretty good shape. God bless her, we wish we had a dozen wives like her. It is hardly necessary for us to explain that we are running the papers off in the middle of the night while she is snoring away like a house afire in the next room and we leave at 4 a.m., so by the time she sees this piece we'll be far away, but there will be a hot time in the old town when we get back."
