"Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. The inmour of Mrs. Wiggs is Lγ- " Matrimony," says she *5 like everything get out of J Jt about as much as you put in it." j 53iis wasn't true in her own case, but . she thought it was, and did what she J «M 3to make it true. "It doesn't matEJ? what part of the earth you live en, if you have the right person to live *ith," she says again, and she also re"It ain't no use putting up your nmhreßa. till it begins to rain."
