HOW He WOULD GET EVEN
Dire Revenge Planned by Editor
Who Realized That He Had
Been Snubbed.

"A magazine editor, having been cut
on the Atlantic City beach by a plain
little man with enormously padded
shoulders, said to his wife in explana-
ton:
Well, why shouldn't he cut me?
He has produced a best seller, and all
great men are vain. Look at Gibbon.
"Gibbon, you know, wrote in his
diary. I am the greatest historian
that ever lived. No one can equal me
In this direction
Victor Hugo wrote to Bismarck:
The giant greets the giant; the foe
the foe; the friend the friend. | hate
thee iuriously because thou hast hum
bled France. | love thee because
am greater than thou art
And Wordsworth said of the Swan
of Avon: There is an immensely OF
trick in all he wrote. If had a mind,
] could write exactly like Shake
.speare.'
No wonder then, the weedy lit
tie chap cut me-" the editor concIud-
ed. But III get even with him. I'll
snapshot him in his bathing suit and
send the picture to the Ladies Illus
trated. This will cause his sales to
fall off at least so per cent"

Conner Davies was riding on the

very loquacious individual sat down
beside him and began bOmbarding him
with questions. Conner got very
tired of his talkative friend, but did
not complain. Finally the fellow look

a wooden leg
How did you lose you leg?" he
asked
Il will tell you upon one condition."
said Conner.
What is it?"
THAT you will not ask me another

This aroused the curiosity Of the

LAYS DOWN WEDLOCk RULES.
Springfield (Mass.) Judge Declares the
Husband Is Boss

SprinfgeId, Mass.-These precepts
for the guidance of wives and hus
bands in cases of difference over
household economics were laid
down by Judge Charles L. Long in
the separation case brought by Mrs
Edith Marsh against Henry D. Marsh
assistant treasurer of the Five-Cent
Savings bank:
The husband is absolute lord and
master Of the exchequer.
He is entitled to his meals at any
hour he wants them.
He may select such food as he
chooses. If he wants one food and
his wife another the husbands de
cision goes.
A servant girl to whom the husband
objects must be discharged.
Finally, man, who pays the bills,
and not woman, is boss.
Judge Long advised the Marshes to
patch up their differences. Mr.. Marsh
left the courtroom wreathed in smiles
Mrs. Marsh did not indorse the courts
opinions, and said SO.

Was This Punishment

A correspondent Of the British Med

curious symptoms he experienced
after drinking tea He writes:
Whenever | take tea l go through a

distressing and stultifying Shortly,
these are as follows: Within fifteen
minutes of walking movement seems

INCOME TAX BILL is PASSED
ance of the Assembly Substitute
Without Referendum Clause.

Madison.-TO the surprise of the
many who have followed the meas
ure, the senate concurred in the as
sembly substitute to the income tax
measure, which passed the upper
house recently by the close vote of
1 to IA. This action was taken af-
ter a half dozen amendments, all
more or less calculated to make the
measure obnoxious to many who
otherwise would support it, had been
rejected, one by one.
AS amended by the assembly, the
bill provides exemptions of $500 for
single persons, and $1,000 for mar
ried, exempts moneys and credits
and otherwise is practically the same
as the former bill passed by the SEN
ate, with the referendum clause left

HERMlTS DEATH A MYSTERY
John l.. Sexton Found Murdered in
His Rude Cabin Near EIkhart
Lake, SheboYgan County.

Sheboygan. = Mystery surrounds
the death of John l.. Sexton, 1.-THE
hermit of Elkhart Lake, who was
found murdered in his log cabin
three miles from this city.
Robbery did not prompt the deed
for scattered about the table were
many gold coins, probably part of the
hermit's hidden hoard, for he was
reputed to be wealthy. Only an old
fashioned silver watch was missing.
This may serve to bring the murderer
to justice.
Although he was known to every
resident in Sheboygan county and to
hundreds who visited the summer re-
sorts at Elknart lake every summer,
little was known about the hermit S
life.
He was over 81 years old, and for
nearly forty years he lived in his
rude log cabin. His venerable ap-
pearance and eccentricities brought
hundreds of visitors to his door, with
whom he would talk on all varieties
Of subjects except the reason for his
retirement from the world.
His cabin was scantily furnished,
but piled tier upon tier were thou
sands of newspapers which he had
collected for years. Some issues
bore dates Of fifty years ago.
Old residents remember that be-
fore his sudden desire to shun hui
man companionship he had a promis-
ing future. He was the first school
teacher in Sheboygan county, and
also served as justice of the peace
and postmaster.
Sections body was discovered by
John Flach, a neighbor. The old
