liens are giving very literally to the new en-
terprse, and there seems to be no reason to
doubt but that it will be carried through. If
the plan falls through it will be long time
before another such chance will present
itself, even if it ever does.
An angry husband created quite breeze
in Main street boarding house Sunday
night on finding his faithless spouse in a
room with another man. The language of
the excited Benedict indicated bloodshed for
while, but he finally concluded to seperate
from his derelect better half and so end the
trouble. A flood of tears, followed by q
thousand promises of better conduct in the
future, and "never will do so again, dear, if
you will just take me back this time" patched
up the rupture, and it was all over. The
'other fellow" was well satisfied to escape
so easily, and 'made sneak'' down an
alley at the first opportunity.

means an asylum Those in attendance are
not patients or Inmates" but are pupils

hearing, their nerves are naturally set
tinglng by beng thus thOughtlessly spoken

Btitution, or have friends or relatives being
educated there, TO fully understand the
grating upon the feelings which is caused by
such a careless choice of words.
