An Odd Reason For Divorce

II was n Kansas City man. a vet
eran OF the civil war. who applied
to the courts for a separation from
his helpmate and her numerous
collection of cats and dogs. Not
that he had any prejudice against
pets" as he informed the judge. but
that they were eating him out OF
house and home, and even crowded
him out of bed at night.
Fifteen Angora cats, kept In the
kitchen Of his home. were just az
teen too many for another plaintin
suing for a divorce.
An East st. Louis Jury, after de
liberating twenty-four hours, de
cided a woman could not obtain a
divorce because her husband had
given her a good spanking There
was no argument as to the sound
ness of the spanking. though it had
been admitted that the spanking
was a sound one.

Poetry


When crows croak in the leaden sky
Ger prone gray field and spectral
wood.
And all that greets thine ear and eye
Sends eerie echoes through thy
blood,
Oh, close the door and come within
Where never winters chill may win;
For here. my dear.
Proportioned 10 thy need Of me
The measure OF my love shall be.
When boding night winds snarl and
moan
Round gabled roof and frosted
pane.
'Tis not our common hearth alone
That makes the winds forebodings
vain.
But those twin sparks OF fire divine
II feeds from in thy heart and mine:
For here, my dear,
Thy need of me, my need Of thee.
The measure Of our love must be.
From "Carmina."
