THE JblMI f OUVS WIFE,
BY EUOKNE FIELD.
Read at the Annual Btnquet of the
Chicago Press CluU-J
No eloquent tbouiiht and no
word,
flowery
I hat the most of you, listening
tur-d, liave heard
Could allure me Irom viands so tempt
ingly spread
That I've mused the extempore speeches
you'v reaa.
btiEiipers of
my fork,
To spe-ik to tho toast of "The Editor's
Wue."
And of course you'll agree since our
wives are all here
To brighten tLe bcene and partake of our
cin er-
1 hat i ho be.it of all angels kind heaven
hits sent
To bring a man sympathy, peace, and
content.
To add to his j"ys and tolesseu his woes,
To sew on his buttons and to patch up
his hose.
And to smoothe out tho kinks aid the
wrinkles of life
Is the idol wes worship; the editor's wile
When the editor comes from his offica
at night
At a very laie hour, in a dubious plight,
Thy impression pievaiis and the stmy
is told
That an editor's wife can be always ca
joled With a ho .about "bridges" and 'broken-
down press;"
But we who have been there are free to
con less
That mi hen husbands are late and sus
picious are rile
It is btjst to owu up to the editor's wife.
