fusing to pay the alimony which he was
ordered to pay during the pendency ol
bis divorce suit.
He appeared before the bar OF justice
with his affidavit drawn-t to- fit-any-
emergency machine in fine working
order. He alleged that bis wife had an
income of $50 per month, but this was
controverted, and be was given two days
- pay up, as by his persistent plead
ing he convinced the court he
did have the princely cum OF $50. Mrs.
Storke was on the verge OF starvation, so
Judge Cape gracefully rendered her So.
A LIVELY SCRAP.
