ed Mrs. Harry A.. Malcher, Of
Chicago, to her "worse half" who
was lying abed late in the morn
ing. "No, I won't get up and l
won't go to work as long as moth

wer that floated down the stair
way to the wife's ears, and Harry
turned over to enjoy another
snooze. Then his spouse felt a
flood of righteous anger over
spread her face, and with flashing
eyes and q determined step, she
marched straight to Judge Ruth
and told him all about it. The
result was that she was granted a
decree of divorce from her sleepy
husband on the grounds of cruel
ty. The mother-ln-law said that
she didn't mind that Malcher
wouldn't work and that she had
to support both husband and wife
but he began abusing her daugh-
ter she drew the line.

Wonderful Hands in Poker Game

Eastern papers haYe been making
a speciality of oraok poker stories,
tales in which the elements Of
ohanoe have oonspired to produce
glittering paradoxes in the run Of
the cards says the Wheeling Tele.
graph. The other night party
of Wheeling men playing out the
pike had a run that was the most
surprising thing on record, and
beat all the Eastern yarns to q
FRAGILE.
It happened, and is as true as
gospel, that on dealing of hand,
a certain number of players re-
maiued and after due seasoning of
the pot and drawing of oards it
was found that those still in the
game had this most surprising
combination:
High mau held ten full on sixes;
next highest, nine full on fiyes;
next. eight full on fours and the
lowest, seven full on threes
The players were thunderstruok
ut would take a million years
to figure out the probability, or
chances of that happening again"
remarked one.
"Poker has been in vogue for
many years, and I'm sorry it was
ever invented, but to tell the truth,
[ don't believe suoh combination
was ever run out of one deok be.

The exceedingly mild weather
of the past month or 80 brings
out the recollections of old men
that January, 1856, was almost
an exact parallel of the present
month. Hugo Heydenreich, a
we'll known contractor and one
of the oldest and best known citi-
zens in Parkersburg, told State
Journal reporter of the remarka-
BILE parallel of the weather at this
time and the conditions just so
years ago or in the year 1856.
During January of that year he
said that the conditions were al
most identical with those at the
present time. There was exceed
ingly warm weather and later
cold spells which would loave as
quickly as they came and there
would be more warm weather.
According to his statment there
were about twelve hundred peo-
pie in Parkersburg at that time
and there was more sickness dur
ing that winter than there had
ever been before.
