snony for herself end ftutle baby.
TIDe petitiou states that the couple

that upon May Q. 1902. Mr. Conrad no.
tihLed her that he no longer desired her
5companlnnsfap and t1sat she was thus

Some of the men who have grew

Other grievances are still more em-

They were at the mercy of the goods,

THE amount of remonstmnct. against
the happenings at the leap year party
is much larger than WIS expected. The
goods expected that that feeling over
the matter would soon pass a-eay in

many goods preach the doctrine that it
