\ PatkeiIc Incident

 Periodically for three or four years lady, poorly dressed, call ed upon us to file a divorce suit for her, because her husband spent all his earnings for drink. Each time it was the same story. Her husband earned S6. a day, and yet his wife had to earn the living for the family. We kept putting her off. During the last six months 1 had not heard from her. On Christmas day, her hus- band called at my office and said his wife wanted to see me. Sup posing 1t was the same old story, 1 pleaded business, but he re fused to take no" for an answer. l stepped into the buggy he had waiting and we were soon at neat cottage. When the door opened 1 beheld room neatly furnished. with new furniture, and there stood the wife neatly dressed. The children were clothed like the children of a well to-do citizen. In the center of the room stood ChrlStmas-tree gHttering with it's decorations. Noticing that l was puzzled the wife remarked 1 just wanted you to see, Mir. Trickett. what the closing of the joints has done for our home. Then the husband explained by saying, Yes: this is what it has done. At first | was bitter because 1 was deprived of the right to go in and drink what l pleased, and for awhile I went across the state line; but 1 did have enough American manhood and pride left that when | could not walk in at the front door I would not sneak into back alleys or into dark ways, or into room with bolted doors and drawn curtains, where each one looked like thief watching and expect ing officers. We have purchased this little home on payments. have furnished it, and are happy and contented

By recent reports from the northern part of the state, where Attorney General Kirby and Robert w. McFarlane, candidates for Governor, are in joint debate, indicate that the fight is beginning to warm up. The candidates are beginning to discuss the fitness of each other for the high posi- tion of Governor of Arkansas, and even those who are not there are coming in for share. The reports say that MT. McFarlane has already paid his re- spects to Mir. Donaghey, of Conway, who he declares has been invited to join the debate and canvass and will not show up. MT. Kirby is also reported as casting some reflection upon the veraci- ty of MT. McFarlane.
