|Woman's Devotion
To Men.

Take Wesley Evett. of Colorsdo,
for instance. Wesley is serving a
term in the penitentiary for EN-.
bezzlement. He was arrested in
Missouri, where he was having the
time of his life automobiling and
buying fine clothes for a woman
who stole him away from his legal
wife. he got six years in the pen
for taking the money he spent on
his psramour, who is probably fix.
ing to run off with some other
woman's fool husband. Now mark
this:
Mr.. Evetts wife is young, pref.
ty and sweet-tempered. This
heart broken fool of woman has
three children, yet she is spending
all her time now trying to get the
man who deserted her pardoned
out tho penitentiA,y SO that he will
escape the punishment he so rich-
ly deserves.
What is the poor woman think.
ing about? Does she think the
low.down tcoundrel. even if she
could get him out, would ever be
anything to her again, or would
fail to elope with the first design
ing woman who CROSSED his pathP
If she does che has sublime faith
in a very rotten kind of humanity.
There are other instances of the
kind, Oae of them was the wife
of q man who afterwards became
one of the greatest fnanciers in
America When he was young
and easily led, he fell under the
lure of woman and embezzled
money to buy her diamonds He
was sent to the penitentiary in
Pennsylvania, and the wife he had
neglected and tried his best to for
get, took her two boys and went to
Pennsylvania, too. She hired a
little house as CLOSE to the wall sot
the penilentiary as she could get,
and lived there. She spent every
hour of the visitors day with her
husband, and she devoted her
whole time and efforts to getting
him ont of prison. She finally
suoceeded in getting him pardon.
ed out, and the first thing he did
was to elope with the woman who
was the cause of him being put
there.
Another instance was that of al
newspaper woman, one of the
brightest aud most successful in
the profession. Her husband
forged some checks to pay for a
country home for woman he got
entsngled With. The wife knew
all about this other woman, yet
when her husband went to prison
she walked to the door of the peni.
tentisry with him, and every day
after that she wrote him letter.
And suoh lettersI 80 full of love
and courage and devotion that they
ought to melt heart of stone.
She spent her whole time going
from one man of influence to an
other, begging them to help get
her husband out of prison. Fin
nally, by dint of persuasion and
entreaty, she got him out. And the
third day he was released she found
him writing a letter to the other
woman, making an appointment to
take her to dinner to discuss trip
to Europe together

do it twice OF thrice if he gets q
chance. If it isn't for the same
woman it will be for another The
chance is what he is looking for.
There never was wife who took
her husband back after he had de
serted her for another woman, who
didn't have to take him back agair
and again sfter that. A wife de-
serter is like a wife beater. 1t il

woman gets rid of either the bet
