Ladies living away from Chicago
should think twice before allowing
their husbands to take them there
to live. In Chicago, husbands like
riches, frequently take wings and fly
away--or they get away somehow.
I met q number Of women who had
been deserted by their husbands in
a very short time after they had
reached that city. Wife desertion in
Chicago surpasses that in any other
city. OF course when these run away
husbands are caught they are tmpris-
oned, and are paroled only on promise
that they will support their families.
Often the courts collect the money
from the employer Of paroled hus-
band and pay 1t over to the deserted
families Last year the courts there
collected and paid out $4,000. But
by reason of lack Of prominence the
colored brother, bent on DESERVING his
family, finds 1t easy to make his get
away. And he is rarely ever found,
and never returns, although he may
be having a, high old time just around
the corner In another block. And
then the whites have an effective
method of discovering the. wanderer
(if white) and of persuading him to re-
turn home. They advertise for him
In the daily papers, especially In the
Sunday editions. His children write
touching letters begging him, If alive,
to return. These letters, often &C.
companied by the children's pictures.
are printed in the papers. In many
instances the man finds that there is
only one of two things to do, either
return home or get off the earth.
Concealment in the white light of such
publicity is out of the question. But
such a weapon as this would prove
non-effective in the case Of nine-tenths
of the absconding colored brothers.
Hence their families spend the weary
wears In silent suffering looking as do
shipwrecked sailors for sail which
they know will never return.
One woman ran a little lunch coun-
ter near the place where the League
met. She was trying to make money
enough to get back home down IN
Dixie. She said that when they NOV
ed there from the far south, the hus-
band soon became fast, the town was
fast and the two had left her strand
ed and far away from home. The
husband had never been seen since he
left. pretending to be going to his
lob. Hundreds of them never come
back" Another woman was running

polished my shoes she told me her
1liad Of woes-husband had been gone

years had also disappeared. There
fore. gentle reader, before you move
to Chicago, with your husband, see to
it that you have his adoption tried
and that you have his heart attached
to you with hooks of steel. For IN
this naughty city old-fashioned love
is regarded as a species of criminal
madness.-"Oid Hickory"
