What is most needed to make farm

emigration from the country to the
cities is larger opportunities for social
intercourse. At present there il

to mingle at all. They are compelled BY
force of circumstances TO remain u

NOVEL LEGAL QUESTION.
II y Wife Utters slander, Must Husband
Pay the Daniages7


KANSAS CITY, NO., March 23.-The
question as to whether or not hus-
band is liable for ISLANDERS uttered by
his wife without his knowledge or con-
sent was appealed to the Kansas City
court of appeals for settlement, but
that tribunal could not agree in the
matter and referred it to the supreme
court of the state. The question
arose in the suit of Amanda c. Tavlor
against Gilbert Pullen and his wife.
Rebecca. Pullen is farmer in Holt
county and Amanda Taylor was Il
domestic in his home. Mrs. Pullen, it
is claimed, talked scandalously about
Miss Taylor, and she sued Mr.. Pullen
for damages. The trial caused quite a
sensation in Holt county. The court
Of that county held that although Mr..
Pullen did not know of his wife's al
legged slanderous utterances, he was
liable for them, because she was his
wife, and Judgment was rendered
against him. He appealed to the Kan.
sas City court of appeals, with the re.
suit above noted.
