When the shop does not prove sufficiently profitable (as under the above explained method sometimes happens to be the case) the comic man's wife seeks to add to the income by taking in lodgers. This is a bad move on her part, for it always ends in the lodgers taking her in. WHEN THE SHOP DOES PROVE SUFFICIENTLY PROFITABLE AS UNDER THE ABOVE EXPLAINED METHOD SOMETIMES HAPPENS TO BE A CASE THE COMIC MAN'S WIFE SEEKS TO ADD TO THE INCOME BY TAKING IN LODGERS THIS IS A BAD MOVE ON HER PART FOR IT ALWAYS ENDS IN THE LODGERS TAKING HER IN
e "down stage" "think they hear a noise." The comic man always rows with his wife if he is married or with his sweetheart if he is not married. They quarrel all day long. It must be a trying life, you would think, but they appear to like it. How the comic man lives and supports his wife (she looks as if it wanted something to support her, too) and family is always a mystery to us. As we have said, he is not a rich man and he never seems to earn any money. Sometimes he keeps a shop, and in the way he manages business it must be an expensive thing to keep, for he never charges anybody for anything, he is so generous. All his customers seem to be people more or less in trouble, and he can't find it in his heart to ask them to pay for their goods under such distressing circumstances. He stuffs their basket full with twice as much as they came to buy, pushes their money back into their hands, and wipes away a tear. Why doesn't a comic man come and set up a grocery store in our neighborhood? NITURE UPSET THEN THE PEOPLE DOWNSTAKE THINK THEY HEAR A NOISE THE COMIC MAN ALWAYS AROUSES WITH HIS WIFE IF HE IS MARRIED OR WITH HIS SWEETHEART IF HE IS NOT MARRIED THEY QUARREL ALL DAY LONG IT MUST BE A TRYING LIFE YOU WOULD THINK BUT THEY APPEAR TO LIKE IT HOW THE COMING MAN LIVES AND SUPPORTS HIS WIFE SHE LOOKS AS IF IT WANTED SOMETHING TO SUPPORT HER TOO AND FAMILY IS A MYSTERY TO US AS WE HAVE SAID HE IS NOT A RICH MAN AND HE NEVER SEEMS TO EARN ANY MONEY SOMETIMES HE KEEPS A SHOP AND IN THE WAY HE MANAGES BUSINESS IT MUST BE AN EXPENSIVE THING TO KEEP FOR HE NEVER CHARGES ANYBODY FOR ANYTHING HE IS SO GENEROUS ALL HIS CUSTOMERS SEEM TO BE PEOPLE MORE OR LESS IN TROUBLE AND HE CAN'T FIND IT IN HIS HEART TO ASK THEM TO PAY FOR THEIR GOODS UNDER SUCH DISTRESSING CIRCUMSTANCES HE STUFFS THEIR BASKETS FULL TWICE AS MUCH AS THEY CAME TO BUY PUSHES THEIR MONEY BACK INTO THEIR HANDS AND WIPES AWAY A TEAR WHY DOESN'T THE COMIC MAN COME OUT AND SET UP A GROCERY STORE IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD
