FAMILY.

Ulam and cAlee Pea.ssaly Disagree - .
Very Esseataal Point.
Mrs. Chloe Jason, . ''laundress and
chaflady," As the sign in front of hee
residence declares, reported few days
ago at police headquarters that her
husband Uam Jason, had suddenly dis
appeared.
''Dat ornery Nigger owes mem de
young uns livin' n he's jis' gottey
wuck fer It; dat is" she added, reflec-
lively, "ef dey hahn done kilt him, n
Ispec's dey is, ur he's jumpt inter de
lailk."
Acting upon advice Of the desk Ger
geant the ''char-lady" charged her
missing spouse with non-support and
desertion, and the officers were in.
structcd to find him. Before an hour
had passed q diminutive, wrinkled,
black and crook-legged darl<y ran into
the station with terror depicted upon
his countenance. Giving the name of
'Ulam Jason he begged that he be lock-
ed up at once.
When the case was called on the fol-
lowing morning Mrs. Jason, who is .
woman Of vast proportions, tall, broad,
round, fat, and a most decided bru.
nette even for an African, took the
stand and tearfully recited her criti-
cism upon the conduct of Ulam.
''Dat nigger, jedge," she said, as she
scowled upon the. prisoner, ''ain' no
manner count. Iwucks day m out,
erwashin' N er scrubbin' way inter de
night, N, he projics erroun', comm
home drunk ebery night"
Here tears overcame her and she
swayed her body back and forth, while
a female friend, who accompanied her,
applied soothing words to her spiritual
wounds.
"Jedge. dat CONAN mommucked me
jamby ter def" interjected Ulam.
This remark stirred up the prosecut-
ting witness, SO that she promptly re-
sumed:
"Yaas, jedge, I did lam him; haster
lam him, er dar'd be no livin' wiv him.
Lais' Chewsday night he cum home
frofin' drunk n kiss de bedpos' n call
hit Daisy. Den Aoored him wiv de

kill me shorely, Of she gifts anudder

The evidence, as 1t progressed, plain
ly showed that Ulam failed to make
necessary provision for his household,
but rs it also proved that all the
breaches Of the peace originated with
the prosecutor the justice lectured the
prisoner and dismissed him with in.
structions that he go directly home

The receiver says that he has fully In
vestigated the nature of the outstanding
accounts and the notes held by the Sc
attic National bank as collateral security
for the payment OF s., 80, and from the
investigation IL would appear that the
amount to be realized out OF these notes
will only about pay the bank the amount
for which they are held as collateral
The outstanding accounts due the COM
pany are mostly of long standing. and IL
will be difficult TO realize very much on
. them.
The receiver says he can operate the
mill the coming summer at small pronf
by making a contract with the timber
men, loegers and mechanics whereby
they will look exclusively 10 the product

10 hold the mill property together for
the present and until such time as the
market for such property shall have i'm
