CHICAGO, lee. q. Samuel F. Birdsall, a
clerk in thu Chicago and Northwestern
railway ofIic, residing At $50 I.ASalle ave
nue.. yesterd " brought suit against Joel
H. Norton. the LaSalle street banker
and real estate man, for $4,000
damages Tor alternating the affec-
lions Of his wife. Bridal also brings

the story OF Birdsall's married life. They
were weddel Jan. last. and lived in

discovered hat his wife had made ar
rangement to meet Norton and spend

ington street. In his bill Birdsall makes

Lit lie to Lively for Wife.
Pauline H sstings was such lively little
Grand Rap Dis (Mich.) girl that she was
placed in q convent several years ago. She
was under its peculiar influence until she
became Mrs Birdsall. But the schoolgirl
could imprt IS but little of the leaven of
meekness in 20 the disposition of the DASH
ing, merry Pauline. Brimful of overflow
ing spirits tie girl lost none Of them when
she married Home-lire was prosaic She
loved candy and flowers, suppers, parties,
rides, and tn . theatre. She had them, too,
and she wnt with most all of her &C
quaintance except her husband. @Why,
Sam couldn't be two weeks away from
me-" she m errily exclaimed to . reporter
yesterday. Then she hesitated @And
neither cou Id / from him" But she was
convinced IL at Sam" had sued for divorce
and then she telegraphed to her mother
that she was in trouble.
She Led Him q Dance.
This is the way Mrs Birdsall explained
the trouble: Sam and just had little
quarrel. | wanted him to change the
matinee ticl cts for evening tickets and he
wouldn't dc it. I said to myself: old
boy, I'll fix your and went down to the
theatre. Ju st as was crossing the bridge
looked around and there was Sam fol-
lowing me- That amused me and just
thought II he wanted to follow me he
could and I'd lead him q merry dance
just for fun. I went down to Mr. Nor
toms Office IN La Sale street, and went
go. @ o1 ~ .ne asninseon
