Commenting upon how to win
a wife, Johnson, the bigamist,
says "Treat her little harsh and
be little distant and she will
come to you.". That's before
marriage. After marriage she
treats you harsh and distant and
you have to come to her.-Wil-
mington Dispatch.
From what we can gather Vir-
ginia never knew she had such
bad roads until the automobile
undertook to navigate them, when
the cat got out of the bag. What

The teacher whose sole motive
is to raise the level of character
has mighty little time to discuss

anonymous letters have been re-

gets hard up and gives a mort
gage on il and the mortgage i.
taxed. It's the same way al
round. If the Ohio courts opin

case some good will have beer
