Poetic Juetice.
A couple In a certain village, each
the parent of six children, had meted
out to them a kind of poetic Justice
In which they failed to see the poetry.
The woman, a widow, pleading that
she had no home and was therefore
unable to care for her children, induc
ed the local authorities to admit them
to an orphan asylum. The man, a
widower, pleading he had no house
keeper and therefore no one to care
for his children, induced the authori
ties to admit his six also. Thereupon,
being freed from all incumbrances,
these two married.
All went well for a few months,
when the authorities, learning of the
situation, promptly dispatched the
twelve children back to tbelr parents,
and. the woman no longer able to rep
resent herself as homeless or the man
as without a housekeeper, they were
forced to receive them.
