Kansas City has a judge who was
born in the South who understands
and interprets the unwritten law and
the ancient rights" He has been
married for fifty years and knows the
relative duties of husband and wife. a
few days ago man made application
i'm his court for divorce, and among
many grave reasons why he should be
given the release, he said: AT night
she almost invariably went through
nv pockets and cleaned them out,
evidently thinking that such indignity
would be strong argument for the di-
vorce. Judge Slower granted the de-
cree, saying specifically:
Far be it from me to condemn the
ancient right of wives to go through
their husbands pockets. A wife has
the right to do that. This divorce IS
granted, but for other reasons.
This is published in these columns,
not for the purpose of encouraging
wives to "go through their husbands
pockets, but to put husbands on their
guard SO they will keep their money at
their places of business.
