Had He That?

On one occasion in an English court a
prisoner was brought in for sentence
who had been convicted, of being com
mon gambler. He appeared in a loud
checked yellow and black suit, with red
necktie and large paste diamond horse
shoe pin. The judge from under his
beetling brows looked fercely down upon
him from the bench and remarked with
intense scorn: Il sentence you to pay Il
fine of 500
That's all right judge" interrupted
the gambler nonchalantly thrusting his
hands into his trousers; got it in my
pants pocket"
and to three years and six months
in state prison." continued his honor
with a slight twinkle in his eye; have

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE DIVORCE EVIL

am opposed to divorce. Extreme cruelty is
ABOUT the only reasonable plea, in my mind, for
putting asunder couple whom God has Joined
together 1 know there are plenty of naonJe
who will claim that God has little enough +o do
with much of our marrying these days. but,
though there is great deal of lightmintedness
among our young people on the subject of mar
rlage 1 still think that the union Of any couple
IN marriage, particularly If there is a child or
Children has much of God in it, and If the par
ties concerned do not know It, so much the
worse for them, for they will suffer accordingly
Ignorance is our worst enemy, and it is ig-
norance that prompts people to regard divorce
lightly and marriage as a thing easily set aside.
L wish the Divorce could realize that instead
OF being honorable in the sight Of the world by
her legal" separation from the man she has
married and easily tired of, she is a creature

l hereby announce myself as a can

percent instead of i've, and will return
the difference, two percent, or about
