before the magistrate Giving not hundred
miles from hcre) by whom they had been
united ''in sweet content Tho woman
demanded to know whether man "could
put his wife away, in four months, without
giving her anything" ale is so
mean and stingy.' continued the injur
ed dlsfranchised, ''tha: lie don't give mt
enough to eat" Upon being assured by
the magistrate that one-half of the joint es-
tate was hers, she turned triumphan.ly upon

exclaimed, didn't l tell you so? DiIn''
1? Didn't ," Thereupon the Bpnedic,
related how the partner Of his joys and
sorrows had most prodigious appetite
how she devoured more than he by the
sweat Of his brow and unremitting toll
could earn IN short, that she was eating
him out Of house and home. He said he
