WIFE KISSED THE CAT;
TOO MUCH FOR HUBBY
His Chewing Of Tobacco More Than
She Could Stand, and So
They Parted

Justice of the Peace William B. Williams of
Mcntclair N. j.. says he was called on by a
man and his wife whose names he refused to
give, who asked him to draw up separation
papers. The justice made effort to patch
up their differences, but a shake Of the head
flom each the only result OF his good ad-
vice. Turning to the woman the justice said:
Doesn't your husband give you his wages?'
She answered in the affirmative. and vOlun-
teered the information that he did not drink
to excess; that he stayed at home nights
carried up the coal. and in fact, was a
rIodeI husband. He had, however, habit
that she would not put up with any longer
What have you got to say" the justice
asked of the husband
We'll, he answered, my wife is model
woman. She is a good housekeeper, she doesn't
squander my wages, she has no eXtravagant
ways, but she has one habit that 1 cannot,
will not put up with any longer"
Then the puzzled justice addressed both.
Make a cOnfidant of me- he said "and per-
haps 1 can suggest a better remedy than sepa-
ration.
The man and wife looked at each other
sheepishly, and the said:
''You may tell, if you wish to-"
''Well, judge said the husband, ''I chew
tobacco and my wife objects to it. She kisses
the cat every night before going to bed and
object to that We talked the matter over
New Years day and determined to
stick to habits have decided to sep
arate."
No suggestion that the kind hearted justice
made was acceptable to the couple, and the
papers were drawn and executed, the husband
giving bond to pay his wife s. week for
her support.-New York World.

TAFT SAILS FOR ISTHMUS
Leaves Charleston on Cruiser North
Carolina.

Charleston, S. c., Jan. 25.-Amid
the booming of guns fired to mark the
passing down the harbor of the
cruiser North Carolina and her con-
voy, the Montana, President-Elect Taft
started this morning. on his visit to
the Panama canal zone, announced
more than month ago.
Mr.. Taft and the party of engineers
who will inspect the work being done
on the canal are on the North Caro-
lima. The Montana is going along to
watch over the safety of the vessel
carrying the president elect. AS Mr..
Taft said jocularly a few days ago
two armored cruisers are required to
carry man of his bulk on trip of
such Importance. Seriously speaking,
however, the decision to have two
cruisers to convey the president-elect
is a precaution suggested by certain
senators on the ground that there is
no legal provision for successor to
the presidency in the event of ia
tality overtaking president-elect
prior to his inauguration.

Statement Issued by GonpeIs,

WILL NOT ASK cLEMENcY
Protest Against Sentences I'm
posed by Judge Wright.

Washington, Jan. 22-"We have
not asked and will not ask for elem
ency and we hope our friends will not
urge us to pursue such a course. Low
ing liberty as free men do-as we do
lit cannot be difficult to appreciate
what incarceration in a prison would
mean to us. To ask pardon would
render useless all the trial and sacri-
lice which our men of labor and our
friends in all walks of life have en-
dured, that the rights and liberties of
our people might be restored. s.
Such pardon would only leave the
whole case in confusion and it would
have to be fought over again from the
beginning"
This is some of the language used
in remarkable statement signed by

Federationist in formal protest against
the action of Justice Wright in SEN
fencing them to Imprisonment for

clares I'VE will not bate a single
word nor take letter back Mr.
Gompers refers to the "intemperate
and vindictive spirit displayed by the
Justice and to this TRADE of Judi

that they should protest against the

That the trio of labor leaders fully
understood the responsibility they as
sumo in making their statements is
shown by their declaration that even
though they may be held in additional
contempt, I'VE are willing to accept
the consequences. It may be neces-
sary to the preservation of the liber-
