WHO WAS THE GUILTY MAN.

A Wellington woman has a husband who has done such a thing as to forget to do what his wife had req nested. The other evening about 5 o’clock he came home and she was at him.

‘ John,’ she said, ‘ did you tell that expressman to come here this afternoon ?’ ‘Yes. Mary,’he answered meekly. ‘Well, he hasn’t come.’ ‘ Is that so ?’ ‘ Yes, it is. Now, how do you account for it ?’ John gave the matter a few moments’ consideration. ‘ Well, my dear,’ he said finally, ‘ either he’s lyino or I am, and to relieve us both from your suspicions I’ll just step down to his place and see what’s the matter,’ and the charitable John went to see the expressman.
