His Lot An Easy One

A butler who had been 25 years in the same family went one to his master and said that he wanted to leave, says the Weekly Telegram. The master, much astonished, asked what his reason was. "Do you want your wages raised, John?" "No, sir." "Is it the food that you're eomplainl-ng of?" "Xo, sir." "Well, what is it, theni" "I'd rather not say, sir." "Now, John," said his master, loslnjf his patience, "you've been a long1 time in my employ, and I insist upon your me." "Well, sir," said Wie butler, finally, "if you must know, it's all along1 of the missus. It's nag-, na.g, from moming' to nig"ht, and I can't stand it any long'er.'' His master sig'hed and then said, solemnly: "John, go upstairs toyour bedroom, lock the door and then g'o down upon your bended knees and thank Heaven that you're not married to her!"
