refused to live with her or to support her; that
defendant has abandoned the plaintiff, and
that said abandonment has continued unin-
terruptedly for at least three years, and is
deliberate and final; and that the separation
is beyond any reasonable expectation of
reconciliation, and that said defendant is not

A schoolmaster, after giving one of his
scholars sound drubbing for speaking
bad grammar, sent him to the other end
of the room to inform another boy that he
wished to speak to him, and at the same
time promised to repeat the dose if he spoke
to him ungrammatically. The youngster,
quite satisfied with what he had got, de-
termined to be exact, and thus addressed
his pupil: "There is common substan-
tive, of the masculine gender, singular num-
Der, nominative case, and in an angry mood,
that sits perched upon an eminence at the
other side of the room, wishes to articulate
a few sentences to you in the present tense"
