Show Just Stood Pat. Talk about being between two fires, a Camden man was aroused by his-wife his-wife the other night, who said she thought a burglar was in the house and wanted papa to go downstairs and chase him. Papa promptly declined. "What's the matter?" scornfully asked wifey, "are you afraid?" "No," replied the old man, replacing his head upon the pillow, "But while I'm downstairs chasing the burglar you'll be going through my clothes, so it's about six in one and a half dozen in the other."
