A WOMAN IN KENTUCKY.
She Now Has More Legal Rights Than
Her Husband.

FVGf ElhoBoilds
Through an opinion handed down In
a divorce suit by Judge Toney of
Louisville, Kentuckians, including the
legislators who adopted the measure,
realize the revolutionary force OF the
statute recently adopted. The COM
mon law Is abolished.
II is true that under the enactment
the man and wife are still one, but IT
is obvious that 1t is the wife who is
the ruling authority. AS the judge ex-
presses it "the gray mare Is the better
horse"
II she have an estate and ne none
he is a mere pensioner on her bounty
and may be kicked of the premises.
On the other hand, If he have property
1t is mainly hers.
The Judge mentions a wife Of wealth
who is sailing on the Mediterranean
in her yacht and whose Louisville
mansion is in the care OF servants,
while the husband is in the county
almshouse.
Although the wife in every case is
entirely independent Of the husband
in the control of her property, he. is
responsible not only for her debts,
but also for any fines which may be
imposed upon her and for damages
in any SANDER or other legal action
against her.
While the husband 'is not entitled
to her personal property, nor to her
rents. nor her earnings, nor anything
which Is hers, he is not even allowed
to give her a mild Blackstonian chas-
tisement to keep her in a good humor,"
iolefully declares the Judge, who is
obviously appalled, and mortified by
the situation.
For many years II has been only In
Kentucky and some other southern
states that the views Of the Old Tes-
lament partriarchs and OF the early
church have continued to be veneer
ated. With the sweeping away OF the
common law in that section the hus-
band ceases to be anything more than
a source Of revenue. in legal sense

Two hours before, note had

hours with him If only to send mes

would love to see her again!"
But two long hours had dragged
YEARLY away since ne had thrown him
self YEARLY into an easy chair In his
friends room to wait.
Four times the little clock On the
mantel had chimed the hour and the
half hour, but no welcome step sound
ed In the corridor without.
"Can ne he with herr" he thought.
"But no. She is Ill. 1t is impossible"
A quick football reused him from his
reverle. As the door was flung open,
he started TO his feet.
