on can be set by the husband unknown
to the former, and II springs her out of
bed and stands her up on the door at
any hour for which 1t Is set. 1t then
remains turned up on one edge, so she
can't get back again, at least on her
side of the bed, and she won't come
back on his side. for she's too ALFRED
mad TO come near him. So the result
Is that she is compelled TO dress and go

these goods and such other articles as they wanted

cash and running no risk, can sell goods cheaper
than one who buys on time and sells on long tine,I
