Judge Spiegel OF Cincinnati, de-
serves a testimonial from the women
of the country. He granted a woman
a divorce the other day because her
husband was in the habit of lea wing
her by herself at night while he invest
ed his funds in jackpots. The judge
remarked in granting the decree:
Nothing will excuse a man gambling
when he knows his wife and children
need the money he has at stake. 1t is
not enough for a man to give his wife
food. There are other things beside.
A person feeds his dog. Nine-tenths
of the men who come into a divorce
court make the mistake Of imagining
that they have IA sufficient excuse if
they show they have been willing to
pay for their wives food. Neither
may a man say he has a right to
amuse himself in his own way while he
has sem his wife on a vacation" The
court found in this case that tbe wife
had been a model woman and bad
been patient until her troubles were
no longer bearable.
