W|SHER Of
W|SHvALE

Gustoff Keitzman of Hammond Is
about the most violent wisher that has
ever wished wish if the facts are as
reported in complaint for divorce
which was filed in the Lake superior
court this afternoon. Some of the dag
ger pointed wishes that Keitzman is al
legged to have wished are as follows:
l. Wished that his wife was dead.
2. Wished that she was 100 miles
away in a bush where he could whip
her or kill her.
8. Wished she was twenty feet un-
der the gro>nd.
4Wished she would get out of the
house.
5. Wished that she could learn to
provide for the family with s5 a week.
The complaint was filed by Attorneys
Mcmahon & Conroy, who state that the
couple were married in November.
1897. and were separated in October.
1910.
Fight Family Budget.
Then all of the violent wishes which
Keitzman is alleged to have wished
were recorded in the complaint. The
plaintiff declares that her husband in
formed her that no one in the family
wanted her.
One of the features of the case is
that the high cost of living is given
as a cause of the domestic difficulties
of the family. Mrs. Keitzman declares
that her husband would allow her only

Thompson's Family.

The financial responsibilities of large
family are sometimes embarrassing 10
the head of the house, but that there may
be other embarrassing phases besides
the financial side is suggested by a story
in the Cosmopolitan OF Mr.. Thompson
who had fourteen children.
He agreed one spring holiday to take
the children to the seashore for the week
end. They set off, reached the station,
got their tickets, and were about to board
the train when Thompson was touched
on the shoulder by policeman.
"Wot ave you been doing?" the po-
liceman growled, fiercely.
"Me? Why? Nothing" stammered the
surprised Thompson.
The policeman waved his stick toward
the Thompson family. "Then why, "
he asked, "is this ere crowd a-follering
of you?"

Who Got the Baby2

Once upon time a crocodile stole a
baby and was about to make dinner OF
it. The frantic mother begged so pite-
ously for the child that the crocodile said:
"TeH me one truth and you shall have
your baby again."
The mother replied. "You will not
give him back to me. "
"Then," said the crocodile, "by our
agreement | shall keep him, for if you
have told the truth am not going to give
him back, andifitis allie have also won"
But the mother said, "If | told you the
truth you are bound by your promise,
and if if is not the truth it will not be a
lie until you have given me my child"
Who got the baby?

.This win Hold Them for a whiIe.

Not long ago one of the magazines
printed an article in which argument was
made in favor Of alcohol as a beverage.
In this article appeared the following
paragraph:
Now, as ever, it is the drinking people
that lead TO the progress Of humanity.
The Jews drank ard gave us monotheism.
The Greeks drank and gave US art and
literature. The Romans drank and gave
us law. The TeutonS drank and gave us
liberty. Britain has drunk, not always,
and established commerce. What have
the teetotal races done for the betterment
of the world =?
The above paragraph has been analyz-
ed in the following emphatic manner:
The Jews drank, of course, but where
are the Jews now? They are scattered
over the earth without any national home.
Total abstainers are now taking up sub
scriptions everywhere to provide place
for the Jew where he won't be killed
The Greeks drank, of course, but where
are the Greeks now? The Greek civili-
cation is matter of history, and their
descendants are now peddling peanuts TO
abstainerS on the street corners OF Amer
ican cities.
The Romans drank, of course, but where
is the Roman Empire today? It's mat
ter Of ancient history, and the descendants
Of these drinking Romans are now brawl-
ing around American cities with monkeys
and hand organs, living off the pennies
tossed to them by abstaining Americans.
The Teutons drank, OF course, but
what 'liberty" do we get from the Teu-
tons? The Teutons for years have been
running away from the tyranny and op-
preston of the Teutonic government to
find liberty under the prohibition laws OF
America.
The Britons drank, OF course, but it
required 100000 of these drinking British
troops to subdue 25, ,OO0abStaining farmers.
Greece and Rome both died drunk.
Russia has the delirrum tremens, and
will soon die or reform. Japan, another
temperance nation, chased vodka-Soaked
Russians all over eastern Asia.

The Negro ParsOn And The Ram Lamb.

The Negro Parson And The Ram Lamb.
About the funniest story | ever heard
was told on negro preacher by the name
OF Johnson. Parson Johnson had been
caught-red handed-hugging one OF the
finest "ewe" lambs OF the flock, and as
this lamb was quite popular young lady
it created a great stir among the good Sis
terS of the church-for it was quite a
scandal in Zion. SO "Brudder Johnson"
was brought before the church for trial.
AS the trial progressed and the deacons
and good sisters were making it rather
warm for "Budder Johnson" that Rev.
gentleman arose TO defend himsef. Turn
ing to one of the decons.
"Budder deacon, did you ebber see
any ecclesiastical works OBJ an?"
''Yes sir" said brudder deacon.
WELL" continued Brudder Johnson,
"if you hab seen dem great pictures you
knows dat de great Shepherd of de Sheep
am always pictured wild one ob de lambs
OBJ de flock in His arms !"
This was too much for Mr. Deacon
he could not answer it-bu he saw some
thing had to be done, so he proposed
that they have a call meeting in the after
noon in order to more fully discuss the
matter and reach a conclusion, if possible.
SO the meeting was called-and after
discussing the matter from every point OF
view, the church drew up the following
resolution:
Resolved, dat for de future peace OBJ
dis here church, dat de next time Brud-
der Johnson takes lamb oh de flock in
his arms dat he take a RAM lamb.

I'm thankful for sun and for showers;
The Lord makes the winter and May,
And He'd hide all the graves with His flowers

Still thankful for sunlight and song;
know when it's snowin'
Gods roses are growin
So Just keep alvin along.

"There he lies, " said Mr.. Pettiman, in
dicating a new-made grave on the west
bank of Wobrook cemetery; lone of the
great men of our village, and worthy to
rank with Squire Pease and Elder Rams
dell. Not that he had their learning. Alb
ner Grove never had any education to
speak of, but in what you might call in
tellect, cool, calm, and always ready TO
turn full on the matter in discussion, he
never had his beatin SomerSworth coun-
ty.
"Take the case OF the Pease girls ba-
bieS," continued MIR. Pettiman, warming
to his subject. "They lived in the same
house, and they had babies OF the same
age who resembled each other so close
that even their mothers could nottell which
was which when they were together.
Well, one day it happened somehow,
through the careleSSneSS OF the young
ones that looked after them, that the ba-
bies were mixed. There was terrible
time trying ito sort 'em right, and both
women were nearly crazy. They rushed
over to Squire PeaSe, he was their uncle
by marriage, and with the help OF the
whole neighborhood told him what had
happened.
"The Squire hemmed and hawed, and
cited cases OF mixed identity, and then
wentin the house TO consult some authoH-
ty or other. While he was gone Abner
come along, and fhey told him aboutit.
"'We don't know, says Sadie, whim-
perrin like a lonesome dog, whether
we've got our own children back or not.
"'Sure they were changed?' asked
Abner. Perhaps they weren't changed
at all.
"'Oh, yes, they werer said Sadie and
Mary both together.
"'You sure?' Abner persisted.
''Perfectly sure, said they.
"WelI, said Abner, 'ifthat'S the case,
it's easy enough; you just change 'em
back again
"That," concluded Mr. Pettiman, "is

and his listener nodded has acquiescence.

about our American fondneSs for titles.
''You all know OF the colonel, he said,

BIacknail. But

The parsimony of the old New Eng
lander of the type now almost vanished
was nobly exemplified in Mr.. Benny
Huntington, who lived with his maiden
sister in 4 little town in western Mas
Sachusetts. Neither had ever spent a
penny unnecessarily, and when, in his
old age, Mr.. Benny became crippled with
"the rheumatic, and had, as well, strange
fIuiterings of the heart, which were un-
relieved BY the best-recommended "yaro
teas" they were greatly shocked at the
suggestions and warnings OF their friends
and neighborS that they ought to send
for a doctor. Mr.. Benny refused, de-
clared his Scorn OF the entire medical
profession, and continued to save his
pennies.
But the pain grew worse. Mr.. Benny
was confined to his bed. in great agony,
and overheard some oftne neighbors tell
ing his sister thathe was goingto die. Then
he sent for an old schoolmate, man as
careful as himself.
"IoSiah." he asked, in a low, CONT
dental tone, "have you ever had a doc
tor?''
Josiah shook his head. Dunno as
have" he answered.
Mr.. Benny reached out aud laid atfem-
bling hand upon his old friends arm.
"Iosiah." he asked again, "did you ever

as much as two dollars visitl'
