SEEKS TRENCHES FROM WIFE.

San Francisco, May 26.-Haying de-
cided that he prefers facing German
bullets to married life, John Kawaiki
was given a chance to carry out MS
ideas by Superior Judge Graham. IA
walki announced he would sell his
business and go to Russia to enlist. :
He told Judge Graham that his dis:
taste for marital harness developed
when his wife eloped six times with
A. Schmidt, whom she described as q
beautiful dancer" She repented nVe
times and was forgiven. kawaiki
says the sixth time she went to VIC
toria with Schmidt, where she is now.
and he wants to get out of the country
before she can ask forgiveness again.
He was granted an interlocutory de-
cree of divorce.

Does II really do to take q wifes
opinion about her husband?" was q
question recently asked, yet without
awakening many conclusive or definite
replies. Contributions on the subject
were decidedly diverse, the majority
holding that the wife was really the
most reliable person in whom to trust
for delineation of husbandly charac-
teristics, and, of course, husbandly
failings.
One somewhat cynical writer, how.
ever, took the opposite point Of view.
"A wife's opinion" she declares,
must necessarily be prejudiced. No
woman can ever live with man for
any length of time and yet continue to
hold good opinion of him. Just as
no man is hero to his valet, so no
husband is glorified being to his
wife. Matrimony kills the germ of
amiability in q man and acts as a per.
feet kind OF incubation against every
form Of caress. ANY husband, how.
ever bad match he may be, can be
guaranteed to fare up at the slightest
opportunity. There isn't hero, dead
or alive, who ever felt 1t incumbent
upon him to be civil to his wife!

wife. mind you-he probably is deadly
