Show Terrible Dilemma. Our. friend Tom married recently, Bays a contributor to the Boston Transcript. Tran-script. His bride, being from the Pacific Pa-cific coast, where thunderstorms are rare and moderate, became terrified when a genuine eastern "rip-roarer" broke loose, and she sought safety in a closet. Presently came a scream from her place of refuge. "What's the matter?" inquired her husband. "O Tom," she answered, half crying, cry-ing, half laughing, "I'm afraid to come out because of the lightning, and I'm afraid to stay in here because there's a mouse." |
