Show Her Solicitude. The insurance business is gradually growing better and agents who have scarcely been making their salt are much elated. A canvasser had a hard job landing a friend, but he finally got him for $10,000 by appealing through his wife. This agent called at the home last night and found the husband and wife there. When the servant announced an-nounced that a gentleman had called to see the master of the household the lady threw aside her half-finished sock and flung her arms about the neck of her spouse. "Dear," she said, "I hope you won't be angry with me, but that cough of yours you've had it all winter win-ter and it doesn't get better. What would I do if I were to lose you ?" And she started to sob. "Tut, tut," said her husband. "You musn't give away. I'm all right, and I appreciate the kind thought that has prompted you to call in a doctor. I'll see him now." "It's not a. doctor," she replied. "It's the life insurance agent." |
