majority of the ladies. There are but
few residences or homes occupied.
They are chiefly boarding houses now.
This is the direct result of the busy
month when the divorce courts turned
out an average daily grist of 213 de-
crees, total aggregation of 6,391, for
the month Of November, 1913. On the
osher hand, many are reunited who
had been eStranged before.
Several prominent and highly esteem
ed citizens are residing for the present
in the city Jail, while as many prison
ers are released, their innocence having
been proved beyond a doubt since the
advent of the Martian
Everybody has read the famous
Truth Issue of the Anaconda Copper
Sheet. 1t has been translated into
fourteen languages. AS is well known,
it was caused by an unexpected visit
of the Martian to the editorial rooms
just as the printers devils began their
nightly rush for copy.
We need not describe that memora-
bic sheet, pocket edition, size by 8
inches, its advertising columns of bar
gains reduced to facts and four sticks
of nonpareil, its society news shorn of
all glory or glowing adjectives, the mi
croscopic corner occupied by police
items divcsted of their padding, re-
minding one of row of brownie skele-
tons; the page devoted to paying gold
mines and rich strikes in the Klondike
shrunk by the hydraulic pressure Of
that Marian eye to five lines, the I'M
complimentary nature of the remarks
about the "greenroom" and the re-
suits thereof-all this is we'll known
to our readers. This was the last edi-
ton destined to be issued from the
Copper Sheet fonts. That paper is now
no more. The building was burned to
the ground that night. The editor was
forced to fly for his life, but he after
ward made great fortune by printing
souvenir editions of the Truth Issue,
which have been sold in all parts of
the world. The editor has since retired
to private life.

WANTED TO EVEN UP.
He Was Tired of Having the Sting
of His Wife's Tongue
Continually.

He had come in from the rural dis
tricts by way of the Mt. Clemens elec-
trio line, and as he neared the city he
hitched around uneasily and finally
asked of a citizen who had got on a
few minutes before, relates the De-
troit Free Press:
"Say, can you tell me where can get
something made in the city?"
"That's according to what it is" was
the reply.
"It's sort of bell"
"Doorbell or cowbell?"
Neither one A feller was tellin'
me that he used to have bell pinned
on his vest, and he used to ring it
every time anybody said anything
smart"
"oh, you mean the old chestnut
bell?"
81 don't know about the chestnuts,
but it was a bell that would go 'dingn
when you pressed somethin'. I want
to get one made"
"Going to resurrect the old idea, are
you?" queried the citizen with smile.
81 want to use it agin my wife, you
know. She's got tongue on her like
whiplash. She calls me names about
40 times day, and while I pretend not
to notice they hurt me like blazes. 1t
don't do no good to talk back, as she
is five times smarter'n am and can
talk ten times as fast. I've got to get
one of them bells and sit there and
make it go ding every time she calls
me fool or liar, and in less'n week
she'll either shut up or be after a
divorce. Can you understand the sit
uation?"
The other understood, and told him
where he could probably get bell
made, and long ere this has sounded
it's "ding" has been thoroughly tested
in the divided household up the shore.

NARROWING HORROR!
The Martian Murderer! Done to Death!
Pulled From the Pulpit!

The Rev. DR.. Blank, pastor of the
Peoples church, lies in a critical con-
dition at the City hospital, the victim
of violence at the hands of his own
parishioners.
The Sabbath quiet Of that church
was rudely broken by a scene of riot
and bloodshed. No clear account can
be obtained, though we append exclu-
sive interviews with prominent men,
bers who We're present.
But it seems that regular service was
in progress when the magnetic presence
of the Martian was felt by all, and it is
presumed that his evil spell was over
the minister, the eloquent Rev. Blank,
and caused those astounding utter
ances which enraged his usually de-
cOrous congregation into insurrectiop
against him.
They rose as one man and literally
tore him from the pulpit. He escaped,
though seriously injured, through a
side door and was taken to the hospi-
tai. Fears for his safety even in case
of recovery are entertained, so great is
the 1eellnS against MN.
The crowd was dispersed by officers
of the law amid much excitement. The
Martian must go!
From the New York Earth, Jan. 1,
1919:
THE SCOURGE REMOVED.
This is the day of special thanksgiv-
ing appointed by the president to show
our gratitude that national scourge
has been mercifully lifted from our
land. We may once more walk freely
forth into the light of day without fear
of the immense shadowy form and
piercing eye of the Martian who has
caused reign of terror in the United
States for the last three months. Some
little resume of his career may not be
nmiss here.
In the town where he first appeared,
Butte, Mont, there are yet traces Of
his ravages. He put an entire stop to
the system of social calls among the la
dies. Instead of joyful greetings the
caller met with such remarks from her
hostess as "Old trump" Hateful
thingw and "What did you come here
for?"
To which the visitor responded, to
her own horror as we'll as that of her
dear friend, 'Just to see if you had
bought any new furniture to replace
that shabby stuff in your parlor."
1t grew too dangerous. After the first
week of hair pullings all calling ceased.
No woman could call her tongue her
own with the baleful Martian influence
upon her. For the same reason there
have been no dances at the clubs this
entire season, and the churches and
schools are yet in chaotic condition.
The town itself is now divided in
half, East Butte being the abode of the
larger part of the grown male popula-
ton and West Butte occupied by the
