FOX DENIED DIVORCE.
Former Mexico Man and Local
Preacher Wife Wants
Maintenance.

The Fort Collins lColo.) COur-
Ter a few days ago said:
When the jury in the Fox di-
yorcc case left the court room last
Tuesday afternoon every one of
the six men had determined that
William II. Fox, mail carrier and
at one time a "local preacher, "
was not entitled to a verdict. The
men retired to the jury room and
relieved themselves OF their opin-
ions. Only one vote was needed
and in half an hour the verdict
had been returned to the court.
When Judge Gamble was told of
the result of the deliberations Fox
could scarcely restrain himself
AS he left the court room he as
Sumed a dramatic attitude and
waved his hat at the members of
his family who were seated in the
rear of the room. He strobe from
the court room and would have
slammed the door behind him but
the door refused to slam because
of the air cushion attachment.
Judge Gamble decided to hear
the cross petition of Mrs. Fox on
November 10. She asks for sep
arate maintenances but not for a
divorce, At that time the court
will probably fix the amount Fox
shall pay to his wife monthly and
the interest she shall have in the
property owned.

Jeremiah Is 4 =; $50 He Made 1t
Again. "
In every temptation our Lord
repealed the devil by saying, 1t
is written His appeal was to
the word of God. This is the
sword of the Spirit" and it is
as sharp and effective now as
when Jesus welded it in the long
ago.
If we would fill our minds and
hearts with the Word of God
and use it when temptation
comes, we could come off victorS
in every trial.
There is not sin the devil
tempts us to commit but what
there is an appropriate Scripture
to defend us. Are we tempted to
wear! 1t is written, Swear
not at all. " Are we tempted to
cheat and defraud? 1t is written,
"Provide things honest in the
sight OF all men" Are we tempt
ed to violate chastity? 1t is writ
ten, Keep thyself pure" Are
we tempted to use strong drink 4?
1t is written, Wine is "a mocker,
and strong drink is RAGING Are
we tempted to be stingy and
misery? 1t is written, "The Lord
loves cheerful giver." Are we
tempted to sell liquor or give it
to others! 1t is written, "Woe
unto him who putteth the bottle
TO his neighbours lips, and maketh
him drunken" Are we tempted
to sign whisky petitions or vote
for license for revenue? 1t is writ
ten, " Woe unto them who build
city with the price of blood. :"
Are We tempted in obscene lam
guage, or to repeat smutty
stories? 1t is written, Let the
words of my mouth and the
meditations of my heart be ac-
ceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my
Strength and my Redoemer. " Is
the preacher tempted to promote
land, lumber and oil speculatiOns,
or patent gates and gasoline
stoves 1t is written, Give thy
self wholly to the ministry and,
- He that warreth should not en-
tangle himself with the affairs of
this life. " If we are tempted to
neglect Bible study, it is written,

light is the law Of the Lord, and
