The Singing Wife

My wife is singing as she
works OF orange bloom and low
ers' knots, while cleaning knives
and forks and dirks and securing
sundry pans and pots. The wives
of rich men journey by, she sees
them from the kitchen stoop !;
their gorgeous raiment stuns the
eye, but Sarah doesn't care a
whoop. l cannot load her down
with furs, l cannot buy the
precious stones, no shining linn
CUISINE is her's-we have to save
the hard-earned bones. And in
her no suspicion turks that I'm
a frost, a false alarm; my wife is
singing as she works; she would

cut a swath that's wide, | am not
built to cut much ice: each day
some comfort is denied, because
I haven't got the price. You
doubtless think it sorely irks the

Is singing as she works-could
there be goodlier reply? Though
many times my boat has sailed,
TO bring no more than ballast
back, l cannot think that I have
failed while she is singing in the

my wife that I'm q tcn-cent
ne'er-do-well; she sings, and
singing cheers my life; YOU really
ought to hear her yell.

Brief to u. S. Supreme Court.

DEGREES of the Supreme Court Of

West Virginia is sustained that the
court has no authority to compel West
Virginia to pay the s13,oo0.oo0 juds-
ment rendered in favor Of Virginia,
according to the contention of Attorney
General Pollard of Virginia in a brief

Mr. Pollard's brief was in defense
OF the constitutional powers of the
Supreme Court to compel one state to

REPRESENTATIVE FLOOD
SUED BY MRS. BAILEY
Asks for Accounting From Sale Of
Virginia Farm-Statement
by Congressman.

| Suit for 81 accounting has been fied
! tn the District Supreme Court against
! Representative Hal D. Flood of Fir-
| RiniH in connection with the sale of s.Il
| old Virginia homestead, with man
sion house end tenant quarters" by
| Mrs. Blanche Z. Bailey. through At
| torneys Charles J. Williamson oe wash
ington and Turner K. Hickman Of
Staunton. The plaintiff asserts that
While acting as her counsel Mr.. Flood
allowed the property 10 be sold TO sat
isfy certain liens which might have
been satisfied by a sale of only q por-
| ton of the property and the mansion
! house retained for her as 4 home.
Mrs. Bailey declares she has made
frequent demands upon the defendant,
but ''he turns 4 deaf ear. 4 stony heart
and q constituencies attitude to her,
she asserts. She tells the court that
her mother-in-law, Mrs. Virginia A.
Bailey, owned q farm of $50 acres in
Buckingham county. and its title was
complicated. The services OF MIR. Flood,
then q practicing attorney, We're re-
tanned, she alleges, and an agreement
reached that he and another person
should take title to the property as
trustees. There was a hitch in this
arrangement, 1t is stated, and Mr.. Flood
became the sole purchaser in October,
1904. The land is worth $500, She
states, and if properly handled could
have paid all the debts and left her q.
she is now in straitened circumstances
with her two girls, compelled to oc-
cupy q dilapidated tenant house. and is
without the necessaries of life. Mrs.
Bailey declares she has attempted to
secure lawyers to take her case, but
the influence of Mr.. Flood as member
OF Congress deferred them from aiding
her.
Denied by Mr.. Flood.
Representative Flood today denied
that he had ever been retained by Mrs
Bailey as counsel and added that long
after he had purchased the land he
received a letter from Mrs. Bailey,
whom. he says, is the wife Of r. E.
Bailey, by whom he was employed as
counsel in one angle Of the case re-
ferred to in the bill asking him to give
her q portion OF the land to erect q
home upon.
The land" he added, sis in Bucking-
ham county. Virginia. 1 bought it at
public auction and received a deed for
it. Subsequently I agreed to sell it
to Richard Z. Bailey for what | had
paid for it, plus the interest. 1 gave
him time to pay for it and extended the
use Twice he never pa1G me Il cent.
Then / refused to further extend the
time and sold ii at q profit long after
l had agreed to sell it to Bailey. He
claimed he was entitled to this profit.
1 knew he was not and refused 10
give it to him.
THE statement that I ever held the
property as a trustee is without
foundation. The statement that counsel
could not be engaged to sue me is
absurd. for If there were anything in
law. equity or justice to base a. suit
upon. 1t would be easy enough to secure
counsel to bring the suit"
