a divorce she did not know it, but had
heard that somebody had received

was over year old, he slapped her be-
cause she dld not succeed in giving the

MRS. IIOOVER'S STORY.
Mrs Hoover said: I'VE lived in Don
aldsOn five years. When Mr.. Hoover
moved his store to Plymouth he left
us there SO as to still hold his office as
trustee of West township. After
short time in Plymouth he moved his
goods to Argos and took us there to
live. There his business went to wreck
and was sliced and closed up by legal
processes. From Argos we moved to
South Bend where we stayed nearly
three years. From there we moved
back to my fathers david Wllburn's)
house where we stayed two months
From there we moved TO neighbOring
house where we lived from October
1893, to June, 1891. From there we
moved to his mothers house. Deem
Der 18th last, Hoover moved us to this
place. | supposed he was coming also,
but he remained with his mother. The
houses are little more than a gu lrter
mile apart. He came III during the
evening of the day We moved. He SAID
he had had supper and did not re-
move his overcoat. After a little while
he started to go. One of the children
SAID: Aren't yea going to stay,
papa to which he replied: NO, |
, have not been invited He never ate
meal in this house and never visited
us but four or five times. lie came
once to split wood. When three OF the

notified but did not come to see them
