he attended the grammar school at
Daventry. where he began to make a
close study Of the Bible When q pas

and. on the other hand, If a chapter

As II Turned Out, Suit Was Really

At Z o'clock Dawson yawned, turned
over then yawned again Stimulated
mentally by physical exertion, he be-
gan to think. Apparently his mind did
not dwell on pleasant themes, for he
groaned dismally.

The last thing before went to bed and
It wasn't there"
For proof that Dawson's recollection
in regard to his pockets was correct he
had only to look at his clothes, which
we're scattered about the floor The
pockets were still turned inside out
they hung limp and empty. Clearly
it was not there.
There's only one way out, Dawson
decided i've got to pawn something.
Dawson opened his closet door. On
the nearest hook hung a new suit that
had been brought home from the
tailor swo days before.
That's the thing he said.
Dawson folded his suit neatly into a
paper box, dressed as hurriedly as his
shaky condition would allow, and head

Dawson looked with diminished ad'
miration on the suit OF clothes which,
lncasing his own trim figure, he had
surveyed with such satisfaction in the
tailor's window three days before.
"Well" he said. make 1t five.

He continued to grow in wretchedness

WIFE DENIED A DIVORCE
Judge J. M. Quinn Hands a Decision in
Case at Fairmont; His
Memorandum.

Fairmont, February S.-Judge Quinn
has entered a decree denying Kath-
eryn Linn Price a divorce from Rich
ard Price of this city. The action
was heard at the November term of
the district court, the grounds upon
which the separation was asked be-
ing cruel and inhuman treatment.
In summing up the evidence intro
duced the court uses the following
language:
while it is contended by counsel
for the defendant chat whatever diff
Guilty arose between the parties came
largely from the failure on the part
OF the plaintiff to agree with the de-
PENDANT upon religious topics, espec-
tally his favoritc topic concerning the
making OF wine at Cana of Galilee
by Him of Nazareth"
"A careful consideration of all of
the testimony had upon the trial
bearing upon the allegations of
cruel and inhuman treatment of
the plaintiff by the defendant leads
me to the conclusion that the allega.
lions of the complaint are not sus-
tanned by the evidence, and that the
plaintiff is not entitled to the relief
asked for.
"As a conclusion of law it is found
that the plaintiff is not entitled to a
decree as asked for in the complaint
on account of want of testimony
to support the allegations of the
complaint"
