What's all the row about?" the hungry man queried as the manager of the city restaurant was seen to rush excitedly to the cashiers desk and detain departing individual. The waiter explained. For a month past some of the numbered checks had been missing. and 1t had been dis covered that certain patrons were economizing at the expense of the management. A man would order 15 cents worth and receive a check for the amount. Then he would secrete the check when the waiter wasn't looking and order quarters worth more of eatables. The waiter would then give check for 40 cents. but when 1t came time to pay the GUS. toner would use the l5-cent ticket to get by the door. "H'm." muttered the hungry man: fine scheme" and in the excitement he passed a Canadian dime on the cashier.

The door swung back, and there stood old Roebuck himself, napkin in hand. his shriveling old face showing that his dollar sense was taking up the strength which his other senses were losing. He was saying cordially: "Ah, Croffut. you are late"
 Then his dim eyes saw me; he pulled himself up like a train when the air brakes are clapped on.
 "They told me at the office that you were at dinner" said I. in the tone of one who has unintentionally blundered. As I was looking for dinner. I rather hoped you'd ask me to join you. But see that"

Was the citron tree the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden? Some persons think 1t was. In any event. 1t appears that "citron" would often be the right rendering in passages where the au- thorized version of the Bible gives apple" For instance. in the Prov erbs. "A word fitly spoken is like ap- ples of gold in pictures of silver" And in the Song of Solomon. As the apple tree among the trees of the wood. so Is my beloved among the sons" And again.

The South.

WOLF SUMMIT. Nov. william
R. Kohler Is now receiving the earn
rest congratulations Of his friends on
the successful termination of his suit
for divorce. His plea for absolute
separation from Mrs. Kohler was
granted before the adjournment Of
circuit court at clarksburg last
week.
X Mr.. Kohler is one OF the most
popular and highly respected mem
bers Of the Wolf Summit colony Of
oil workers. and his friends are
glad at what appears to be the most
happy solution possible Of his do
nestle affairs, brought about by the
disgraceful conduct of his wife.
Il VIII be remembered that while
the family was residing in Ciarksburg
the woman brought upon herself the
severest censure Of the nelghbors by
her manner of living during the alb
sence Of her husband who was then
as now a valuable and trusted en-
pioyes Of the South Penn Oil Com
pany. The elimination OF her faith
lessness occurred when she deserted
her husband and went to Tennessee.
where the injured husband followed
to secure the release of his inter-
esting little children from her iu-
fuence.
The bright little girls are now In
the possession of the father and they
are. living happily here. where all
wish for them a most successful and
happy residence after the unfortu-
nate shadows have passed from their
lives that have resulted from the
unnatural conduct of the wife and
mother.
