Show How Hf. Weighed His Wife. Tho Lewiston (Mnine) Journal has discovered the method, and thus reveals re-veals it: "She is a woman weighing, it was supposed, about 230 pounds, but her husband could not persuade her to be weighed. So the other day ho was driving out with his wife and drove up to Mr. Dormau's store in Auburn. The wife did not notice that the team stood on Mr. Dorman's hay scales. While he waa talking with a gentleman at tho door, Ids whole team was being weighed. lie then drove over to Lisbon street and left his wife to do some shopping. Then he drove back to Mr. Dorman'a hay scales and the team was weighed minus the wife. It was but a simple sum in subtraction sub-traction to discover the weight of the womap. On getting home the joke leaked out, but his neighbors declare that Caleb will never see another day of judgment in which he will be more sorry for his sins than he did the hour when Ins wife learned that sho weighed two hundred and forty odd pounds." |
