nothing either to defend or to maintain
herself; all of which is bad enough when
the marriage is "a failure, and the home

SHARP PRACTICE.-DeputyW Wilhelm
has a way of his own to collect doubtful
fines for the county. Instead of eXecu-
ting the mitimus ut once, and commit
ting to Jail in default of payment, he
just lets the convict go on II promise,
watches him until he settles down for
harvest work, and then steps in with
the Jail gaping behind him. OF course,
the employer pays the fine rather than
lose the hand, and, Presto! the thing is
done.
