Ihree years ago Joe's sister. after
much persuasion, succeeded In getting
permission from Joe 20 live In the man

To the boathouse, and there thew re-
manned for some months without any
OF the members of Joe's family calling
on them. The little wife did not relish
this neglect very much and so finally
she suggested to Joe that he should get
possession OF his house and that they
should live there.
Good idea, said Joe, I'm 90 up and
tell my sister to get out" And he ac-
cordingly called on the sister. Mrs.
Lupton. and told her that he wanted
her 10 vacate. She protested and par
leyed. but Joe was insistent. Finally
she refused 20 go. Joe lost his temper,
and, as he was leaving the house, he
noticed a large stone lying In the street
There are "A great many plate glass win
dows in the house. Joe walked up to
the parlor window and sent the stone
crashing through. The tinkle OF the
glass and the surprise OF the persons
who had seen the act, a. well as the
CONSERVATION OF hrs sister and her in
dignant protests, pleased Joe, and he
hurled few more stones through the
windows.
The town watchmau came up finally
and pleaded with Joe TO stop, but did
not arrest him. for the reason that he
knew the house belonged TO him, and
sympathized with him, particularly
when Joe said: Get the - out OF
here. It's my house and ! can break

II you interfere with me I'll have you
fired" Joe is potent voice In politics,
and the threat. NJ not the justice OF his
position. prevented further interior
eEce. Finally he wearied OF the sport
and went back and reported TO his wife

him demolish glass. About six months
ago the downstairs windows were
boarded up. and since that he has had

To carry on his bombardment.
This week the case assumed n differ
ent phase. JOe's wife wearied OF the
failure OF the window-smashing scheme
and advised Joe to consult a lawyer.
This he did. and he was adviseu to
enter the house and remain there Until
the courts decide to give him posses
sion through ejectment proceeding.
On Monday he entered by the rear door,
and. to the disgust OF his sister and
members OF her family, stayed. His
wife. however, refused to be a party 10

last night she called for him and per-
