ton and NJ. II. Couch for the defendant.

Angry words followed, when he finally seized
her and tried to eject her from the room. In
doing so he choked her, bruising her mock and
arm.
Nora Knifen. a servant, confirmed Mrs. How.
ellis story Of tho quarrel and testified to having
seen bruises on her neck and arms. Mrs. Robert
Bradley and Miss Hattie Geraghty, neishbors,
TO whom Mrs. Howell went after escaping from
the %rectory, confirmed the servants statement.
Mr.. Howell took the stand in his own behalf.
He swore that he and his wife had lived unhap-
PLY for some time. She was jealous and sullen.
They had occupied separate apartments
ana eaten at separate tables for two
years. He gave his version of tho
quarrel about tho cat, and denied the

King, Queen and Jack

Was in drawing the limo

I"ixt the Ten aud the Deuce aud the Tray.
The Spades and the Clubs
We're given to snubs,
And the Diamonds were richer than mud.
While the Hearts lon the side
spoke with swcllings of pride
OF their ancient and honorable blood.
Yet all were agreed
That the one crying need
Was to meet in good form and propriety;
For what was the use
Just to Danish the Deuce
And lose the high game OF society.
So the goggle.eycd Kings
Inc thUHlpE pti innings
Escorted their queens to the function.
While the bachelor kuavcs
with their ten-spotted slaves
Sat around in extreme silent JUNCTION.
II there WAS to be fun
1t had not yet begun
And the stlluess became quite oppressive,
For to think Of ones self
Is tn mold on the shelf
To have thought of your NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Then the King and the niuo
Took their places in line
And the Queen in her pink ami white ruGle
Came In through the door
With a ciub-footed four
And il all came out right in the shuttle

painting the town landscape. The
