Oakland woman stormed the office of

with the complaint that her better
half had transferred his affections to
another woman, who, it seems, has
charms far greater than her own. The
wife has asked the assistance of the
police in determining the nocturnal
habits Of her husband, and wants him
reprimanded both publically and pri-
vate for his so-called misdemeanors,
and has even asked that a special
police be obtained to trail him. She
voiced another woe in maintaining
that the husband had been having his
letters sent to Waterville, and she
asked the police to get the letters
from the postoffice for her. The Off
Ger in charge told the woman that
whereas municipal officers could not
perform the functions of the divorce
court, she would be obliged to ferret
the matter out without their assist
ance, and SO she went away, scheming
for a ways and means to scare hub
by into staying home nights.

And to whom did YOU swear undyins

THAT isn't FUNNY" his wife answered
coldly; that's old. And the idea that a
woman can't keep a secret is as ridtcu-
