Life is but chance and to enjoy it
is not the privilege Of all. But TO

to million or two. How fortunate.

Frank Gaylord, of Caldwell, has
filed suit for divorce from his wife
Lucy, He alleges extreme cruelty"
and gross neglect of duty in that
Lucy made him think that marriage
was a failure and life a burden, by
fretting at him because she had to
live in Kansas, and threatening to
leave him if he did not move back
east. A woman who refuses to abide
in Kansas. in sunny, breezy, blessed
Kansas. is obviously incompetent TO
assume the cares Of household or to
raise family, and Frank will surely
get his decree, or the court which
refuses to grant it on such grounds
will be liable to impeachment for dis
loyalty to the state. Not live in Kan

outward, Kansas would have lots Of
immigrants from the starry realms
abOve.-SOuth Haven New Era.

zine, the South Haven New Era says:
"a history Of the doings of this
gang for the past six months would
read like the story of the forty
thieves, or the history of hypnotic
influences, and with the addition of a
bucket Of blood and a beautiful
woman would make a good yellow
backed novel, They stole anything
and everything that was loose at both
ends, were captured, escaped, ran of;
were followed, brought back, broke
Jail, returned, plead guilty and re-
ceived jail sentences, and since that
have been employed in boring bolts
out of the steel cage and playing
peek-a-bOO with the sheriff. Out OF
the gang Of four, three have escaped
from Jail, three ran away while under
arrest, one has escaped from jail
twice, all were implicated in an
attempt to saw the Jail up and sell it
for old iron, and two are now at large
looking for more plows, harrows, hal
ness, horses, wheat-anything that
can be moved. They don't really
seem to want to get away, but are just
restless, banker for newspaper notol-
iety and like to have fun with the
officers
A mule is stupid, but he makes
some hard hits.
If some men would give up more
and lay up less, how soon they would
be rich.
