Moved to Avoid Rent.

CHORTLY after James e. Jarrett of
- Fort Wayne married Jennie New
man he told her one evening after din
ner that he had solved the whole ques-
ton of the advanced price of living,
and when she leaned breathlessly for
ward he impaired the somewhat worn
aphorism that it is cheaper to move
than to pay rent.
Mrs. Jarrett laughed and took it as
q joke. because the next day was the
one fixed for the visit of the landlord.
However, she found that Mr.. Jarrett
was in earnest, because within the
next week or so she had her first ex-
perience with an angry rent gatherer,
papers of eviction and visit from
the sheriff. ~
After that Mr.: Jarrett put his theory
into continuous practice, and in the
next seven years the Jarretts Grated
their household goods no less than 80
times; 16 moves being only two
jumps ahead of the officers of the
law. Finally Mrs. Jarrett found that
her love had been broken all to
pieces with SO much moving, as she
had not always had time to crate it
properly. When she sued for d.
yorce she declared that her husband
had failed to provide home for her,
and Mr.. Jarrett answered that he had,
but the Judge sided with the plaintiff.

right to his wife that he had to his
mother, to suffer correction in such
humiliating way. Minnie admitted
his allegations, but declared that Zol.

the falsity of this statement she felt
that he had entrapped her into mar
riage SO that he might have some one
