But he Came Back.

A Kansas City woman gave her hus band S125 to go away and stay Four days later the money was all gone and, naturally, the husband came back. If she had taken the wiser plan and had arranged with trustee to pay it to him in installments of $1 a day the wife wouldn't have been bothered for 125 days.
