DIVORCE LAWS.

ROMAN law allowed divorce for three
causes: the Scriptural reason, designs
on husbands life and the possession
of false keys.
A DECREE was granted In Massachu-
setts because "the defendant keeps
this plaintiff awake most of the night
quarreling."
ONE Greek state had law that if n
man divorced his wife, he could not
marry a woman younger than the dis
carded partner.
A New JERSEY wife got divorce be-
cause "the defendant, the husband,
sleeps with a razor under his pillow to
frighten this plaintiff.
VIRGINIA wife was set free because
"the defendant does not come home
until ten p. m, and then keeps this
plaintiff awake talking"
a TENNESSEE court liberated a wife
because "the defendant does not wash
himself, thereby causing the plaintiff
great mental anguish"

The decisive vote in favor of
the special tax levy for light
on Tuesday should be sufficient
to induce the council to start
out promptly in the matter and
make whatever arrangements
that are necessary to secure
electric light. The financial
part of the question will, of
course, require some study on
the part of the councilmen, but
no time should be lost in pre-
pairing to carry out the will of
the taxpayers. The gentlemen
composing the Freeland Elec-
trio Light Company have made
a fair offer to the people, and
the price is as low as light is
furnished for elsewhere. In
fact, the average rate per lamp
throughout the eastern part of
the state is much higher than
is asked here, and since the
sentiment of the town is almost
unanimous for the light no
unnecessary delays should be
tolerated. The company, it
seems, is anxious to commence
work upon the plant, and in a
tour through town last week
Messrs. Sweeney and Beckley,
members of the company, were
assured of support by nearly
all the business men and resi-
dents. SAUNTERER.

The call for help sent out by
a coal company near town to
the Freeland fire department
last week caused some COM
ment among those who were
conversant with the facts of
something which occurred a
few years ago. This coal COM
pany usually pays it's employees
on Saturdays, and as the fire
company had Glen Onoko en-
gagged in 1892 for the day on
which the company was to pay
a committee from the firemen
requested the operators to pay
a day sooner that month, there
by giving a number of the peo-
pie working there a chance to
attend the excursion. The re-
quest, it is said, was politely
refused, although the other
companies of the vicinity
cheerfully granted the favor
This refusal has never been
forgotten by some of the fire
men, but when the call came
for their services they grace
fully overlooked it and res
ponded promptly. Although
their aid was not required, i
, shows that Freeland's firemel
are above indulging in petit,
, spite and are willing, whel
danger threatens property, t,
help even those who have re
fused to help them.

Freeland's voters turned out
on Tuesday and registered one
of the largest votes yet polled
in the borough. The total
number who voted was 3S1,
which is a good showing, con
sidering the small area con-
tanned within the borough
limits. If the annexation of
the Points and Birvanton is
accomplished the number of
voters in the borough will be
almost doubled. At the two
Woodside polls there were cast
about 310 votes, but all of these
voters will not come into the
borough. The residents of the
Coke addition and the old
Woodside houses on Fern
street will remain in the town
ship, still the vote of the town
after annexation will not be
anything less than 700. With
the town then divided into
four or five wards Freeland
borough will play a larger part
in the county and district con-
ventions, as it will have more
representatives in these gather
ings.

with any one who talked with him.
Sandys father had bought a large
tract of land in New Hampshire, and
had led a little band of settlers to To-
cate upon it with himself. He was u
rich man for his place, bring ng with
him good supply of farm tools and
household wares, horses. cattle, sheep
and hogs.
The last were an iilse cure posses
sion, for the woods were full of bears,
and every little while pig was miss

The bear question was one on which
Sandy had strc ny OF in ons. Il know, "
said he to Peter Small, My father is
called wise headed man, but it
seems to me like mons,rous foolish

father talks about is of getting new

them Indian fashion" into trap.

What delight it would be to find

But about midnight there was such
a sound of terrific squealing that

They found some fallen poles, a rock
that had slipped and the little black

Some Farmers Hiring Hands for So Many
Pounds of Cotton.
Captain VIM. Kaigler, who was at
home during the holidays, says the farm
ers up the country are hiring hands for
another year for 100 pounds of lint cot
ton for each months service in lieu of
standing wages.
The plan has been adopted with sue
cess in a number of counties, and it
seems an equitable and fair way to both
the farmer and his hands. If cotton is
10 cents the hand gets $40 month, but
if it is 7 cents the hand gets 81 month,
and so on. No farmer knows what GOT
ton will bring year after he hires his
hands,
