her saying;
We'll, your husband is pretty
well initiated, that's a fact; but
the court will hardly call that
cause enough for a divorce. The
most of the societies you mention

Many of them, though called
lodges, are relief associations

which would not see you or him

"See me suffer when I'm sick
Take care of me when he's dead
Well, [ guess not; l can take care
of myself when he's dead; and if
l can't, [ can get another. And
they needn't bother themselves
when I'm sick, nuther; if I want
to be sick and suffer, it's none of
their business; especially after
all the su1ferin' I've had when
wasn't sick, because of their car

OleO Law Faulty.

SEATTLE, Wash. Jan. 13.- United
States District Judge Hanford, decid-
ing a demurrer to an indictment for
violating the regulations of the treas
ury department in regard to the label
ing of packages of oleomargarine. held
Yesterday that congress could not dele
gate its legislative powers or prescribe
punishment for violation of regulations
to be afterwards prescribed by some one
else. AS the oleomargarine law did
not prescribe any regulations, but left
the making of them to the treasury de-
partment, no one could thus be pun
ished for violating them, and the law
thus becomes practically imperative.
