LIVES IN A HENHOUSE.
Husband Quits His Home Because
He Was Angered by sight of
Whisky Flask.

A correspondent Of the Chicago In
ter Ocean writes that William H.
Pugsley, a contractor of Mount Yer
non, n. Y, had his sister-in-law, Mrs.
Allie Brown, in the police court the
other morning on the charges of dis
orderly conduct and trespassing.
The trouble began Thanksgiving
day, when Mrs. Brown, who is Mrs.
Pugsley's younger sister, came to live
with the Pugsley's. A few days later
Pugsley, who is a prohibitionist, de-
clares that he came home and found a
half empty whisky flask on the table.
That night Pugsley went to sleep in
the chicken-cOop and has since made it
his home, leaving his house to his wife
and sister. He cooked his meals, made
his bed, and lived like a hermit in the
coop. Then the contractor hired boy
to do the cooking.
Monday Mrs. Brown went to the
chicken-cOOp and began to order the
boy about. Pugsley ordered her off
the premises. When she refused to go
he FASTENED TO the police court and OBJ
tanned summons for her appearance.
Pugsley interrupted the proceedings
in court by jumping to his feet and
pulling a ten-fOot rope from his
pocket.
"Say, judge" he said, please hang
me. l would rather die now than to
think of Intoxicating liquors being in
my house"
Judge Bennet suspended sentence on
Mrs. Brown, after warning her to keep
away from Pugsley's home

Or. J. E. Sheppard of North Caro-

he has exercised great judgement and
ability. He is a reader OF men and

getting along nicely with the people.
DR.. Sheppard is young man of ablll-
ty and has the respect and confidence
of a large constituency, which Will
