Too Much For Him.
A young man in a straw hat was wheeling a baby-carriage backwards and forwards along the pavement in front of a certain flat. The hot afternoon sun poured- pitilessly down upon him, and he was as angry as any man in the city. ''My dear !'' came a voice from the upper window of the house. "Y r ou go to thunder !" he shrieked back. "Let me alone, can't you ?" and he went on wheeling and mopping his face. An hour later the same voice came from the same window, in earnest, pleading tones : "George, dear !" "Well, what do you want ?" he shouted, "Have the water-pipes burst ?" "No, George, dear !" wailed the voice. "The water-pipes are all right ; but you've been wheeling Lottie's doll all the afternoon. Hadn't you better let baby have a turn qow ?" This was last week, but George is still in the hospital pending an examination as to hie sanity.
