All A Mistake.

A Michigan man locked his wife out several nights ago, and kept her out all night. Next day she sued for divorce, announcing at the same time that she had inherited $400.000 Christmas and had not told her husband. The husband tainted on receipt of the news. It is believed, however. that he will contest the divorce suit with a cross bill something like this: Defend ant replies to plaintiffs petition with general denial of all the charges therein put forth: that at no time since their marriage has he regarded his spouse with other than the deepest affection. that in locking her out of the house, he was the victim of an unfortunate mistake; that he intended to lock out the family cat, but unknown to him, his spouse was on the outside, and the fact not brought to his at tention until the next morning; that on discovery of the unfortu- nate mistake, his grief and humilia- tion were indescribale; that he still maintains the love and affection in cident to their married life, and prays the court not to dissolve so felicitious union, joined together by God, and such other relief as the court deems fair and equitable in the premisse "- Exchange.

NEGROES OF SOUTH
 FALL ILL IN NORTH

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 19.-Unable to stand the hardships of a cold and unfamiliar climate, hundreds of ne
 groes from Georgia, Florida, Ala bama and other southern states are filling the hospitals of northern cit ies, victims of pneumonia, and many
 are dying, according to information received here.
 This news follows on the heels of
 reports that southern negroes who are financially able are Hooking back to the homes they left last summer to go north in response to the demand for labor.
 So great has become the. burden of care in the north, it is said now, that in many cities special commit tees, working in cooperation with the associated charities, are giving over their entire time in order to alleviate the pitiable conditions of the black people of the south. In one hospital alone, that of Newark, N. J., more than seventy |southern darl1ies lie at the point of death following the ravages of pneumonia.
 secretary of the charities at New lark. who formerly was connected with the charities at Savannah, Ga.,
 was received letter directed to Jo- 'seph Logan, secretary of the chari
 ties at Atlanta, appealing to him
 for information which will enable
 the Newark branch to ascertain the former homes and employments |of these negroes. which possibly
 might result in their former em- ployers' sending north for the fam lilies.
 Special quarters have been as- signed the negroes at Newark. They have been housed in the Children's Aid building in that city until such
 time as relief in the way of trans
 portation back to the fields of the |southland can be procured.
 Assisting the work of the chari- Ities and the special committees are from several churches and civic organizations. According to Miss Pendleton's let ter more negroes came to Newark than to other cities of that section. This. she says, is due to the work of Ia white man employed by a fertil iZer company. offering unheard-of
 amounts as wages, who secured the south, especially Georgia, in his work. Miss Pendleton bases her statement on the stories told her by the families which apply to her Organization for help.
