Show PERIL IN PEANUT BUTTER. One Mouthful Sufficient to Cause Split In Family. The last case I will montlon at this tlmo wa8 on this wlso: She returned In tho ovenlng from n Rhopplng foray and casunlly mentioned that sho had somo peanut butter Sho set It down In tho kitchen. loiter In tho evening ho slipped out In tho kitchen In a sort of dosultory, quint, and unostentatious unosten-tatious way and cut n pleco of bread and set about spreading on somo of tho peanut butter. In tho dim light ho did woll nnd got plenty on, but unfortunately un-fortunately sho had not mentioned that sho had also bought somo cnam cllne for polishing tho stovepipe, When tho bread was spread ho took a mouthful of it, tho kind of mouthful mouth-ful n man Is apt to tnko when tho restraints re-straints and formalities of effeto society so-ciety are far from him. Then ho placed somo handsomo but unpremeditated unpremed-itated stucco work on tho nowly painted walls of tho kitchen, nnd from that dale things began to get twisted, nnd there was not that delightful de-lightful camaratlerlo that there had bocn. Sho got alimony two years later, nnd It was charged that ho had spells of temper, and on one occasion went Into tho kitchen Just after It had been newly painted and filled his mouth with somo blnck substance, and then, like a Chinaman wetting down an ironing, spurted it seventy-two ways from Sundny. That shows how unfair n woman Is when sho gets after n person sho no longer likes. Porkln Wnrbcck In Mngnzlno of Fun. |
