At last the unfortunate boy managed

Is the plaintiff. and his allegation,
stripped OF all verbiage, is that his
wife, to whom he was married in Den
yer in 1887, refused to talk, despite the
comic paper idea of the fair sex to the
contrary. Her silence, which Mr.. Holm
berg alleges had been almost without
interruption since a few months after
the marriage. has had the effect of un-
dermining his health. The plaintiff
particularizes as to his illness. Be-
cause his wife would not talk he BE-
came AFFLICTED with insomnia. Many
complaints have come to the local
courts that wives insisted on talking
when their husbands wanted to sleep,
and thus robbed them of sleep, but 1t
