RIGHT TO HIGH TEMPER.
Missouri Judge So Holds in Denying
Divorce Application.

Macon, MQ.-"A woman has a right
to be high tempered, and her husband
ought to be man enough to yield her
that privilege" remarked Judge Shell
ton, of the Circuit Court, to a young
man who had filed a plea for divorce
against hts wife on the ground that
she was of an irascible disposition.
The wife did all the work of the house
and cared for their four small chill
dren.
Judge Shelton continued: Most
good women have some spirit, and
they can't help showing it once in a
while. A wife has just as much right
to possess a temper as her husband
has, and the husbands duty is to
indulge her when she wants to ex-
press herself. Now l am act going
to entertain for a moment The idea of
divorce between you. You must 60
