Judge Imposes Novel Sentence
on Husband.
When He Has Money He
Drinks and QuarrelS.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Judge Newcomer
in the municipal court yesterday i'm
posed the sentence of indeterminate
idleness on Joseph Girsch, who was ar
rested on complaint of his wife.
Joseph has a good job; is able bod
led and perfectly willing to work but
all of this disturbs the otherwise happy
household and he must quit. The
court entered the strange decree after
hearing the story of Mrs. Girsch.
Il can't stand Joe's conduct any
longer. Mrs. Girsch testified. You'll
just have to put him under bonds to
refrain from working
DO You mean he is overworking
himself" queried the judge.
NO, l mean work doesn't agree
With him. the woman continued.
He's got to be made to stop II if
there is to be any peace in our house.
Joe's a molder. He's just crazy about
molding but when he's paid off, he
buys liquor and then comes home and
beats me. I've got plenty of money
and can support both him and myself,
but 1 can't stand it when he works.
Just sent him home and keep us out
of the divorce courts
"All right said the Judge. Its a
little unusual, but let the order be is

The Spinning Wheel

Month after month passed away. and
in autumn the ships OF the
merchants
Came with kindred and friends. with
cattle and corn for the Pilgrims.
All In the village was peace; the men
were intent on their labors,
Busy with hewing and building. with
garden-plot and with merestead.
Busy with breaking the glebe. and
moving the grass in the meadows.
Searching the sea for its fish. and
hunting the deer In the forest
All In the village was peace; but at
times the rumor of warfare
Filled the air with alarm, and the ap-
prehension of danger.
Bravely the stalwart Miles Standish
was securing the land with his
forces,
Waxing valiant in fight and defeating
the alien armies,
TIL his name had become a sound OF
fear to the nations.
Anger was still in his heart. but at
times the remorse and contrition
Which In all noble natures succeed
the passionate outbreak.
Came like rising tide, that encount-
ers the rush of river,
Staying its current while. but max
ing 1t bitter and brackish.
Meanwhile Alden at home had built
him a new habitation,
Solid. substantial. of timber rough
hewn from the frs of the forest.
Wooden-barred was the door. and the
roof was covered with rushes;
iLatticed the windows were. and the
window-panes were of paper,
Oiled to admit the light, while wind
and rain were excluded.
There, too. he dug well, and around
1t planted an orchard
Still may be seen to this day some
trace of the we'll and the orchard.
Close to the house was the stall,
where, safe and secure from an
noyance.
Raghorn. the snow-white steer. that
had fallen to Alden's allotment
In the division of cattle, might rumin-
ate in the nighttime
over the pastures he cropped, made
fragrant by sweet pennyroyal
Oft when his labor was finished,
with eager feet would the dreamer
Follow the pathway that ran through
the woods to the house Of Pris-
ella,
Led by illusions romantic and subtitle
receptions Of fancy,
Pleasure disguised as duty, and love
in the semblance of friendship.
Ever of her he thought, when he fash
Toned the walls of his dwelling;
Ever Of her he thought, when he
delved In the soil of his garden;
Ever Of her he thought. when he read
