Another husband and wife have sepa-
rated another sad ending Of married life
has taken place another woman has left
her husband and gone back to her old
home, her heart burdened and embittered,
the love she once protested to bear toward
the man she took as her protector, lover
and supporter, turned TO hate and bitter
ness.
1t is not pleasant to hear of these wrecks !;
it 10 no feast for reporters to write the sad
story, as many people think, for they
reveal dark and forbid
ding side of human life,
which is never pleasant to look upon or to
chronicle. But, sometimes they are for ed
upon the newspaper man and, for fear the
other fellow will give them publicity, and
thereby RUG in a scoop, the wide-awake
reporter never fails to "ca;ch on when he
can, and thus tell of woes, marital ship
wrecks, and desolate homes where there is
zone vacant chair" even though his sensi.
tive and tender nature shudders At the
task.
