Two or three days ago an individual
, with a voice like the grating of file,
and gift Of CAB which took the cake,
halted policeman, says the Free Press,
| on Michigan avenue and wanted help TO
| find his wife, who had run away from
him in Ohio, taking the three children,
and was supposed to be in Detroit. As
luck would have it, the woman walked
along on the opposite side of the street
as the men stood talking, and the hus-
band no sooner caught sight of her than
he dashed through the slush and halted
her with the EXPLANATIONS:
"Traitoress, have found you at last!
Give me one sassy word, and III send
you to State Prison for life!"
She didn't seem greatly paralyzed by
the meeting. On the contrary, she
waited until the officer came UP, and
then coolly asked:
"Were you looking for me?n
"Well, your husband says you ran
away from home"
Taking all my money and my dear
children!" added the husband,
"See here, Smiley Johnson" said the
woman as she leaned up against bill
board, "who paid for our marriage Ii
cense?"
"Well, I-you-you happened to pay
for it"
"Who bought your wedding clothesP"
"You did, but | was to pay you
back"
Have you earned dollar since we
were marriedP' she continued.
Haven't been working on a patent
right every blessed day." he asked in
reply,
"And those dear children you refer to
