ROBBING POCKET OF HUSBAND IS
 JUDGES DECREE

! NEW YORK. - Probably the most important thing that has happened in the cour: of domestic relations recent Iy was the decision of Magistrate Cornell in the case of Mrs. Dora Kell against her lawful husband, Samuel Kell of AT West Thirty-ffth street, that a wife whose husband holds out on her on pay day has perfect right to get up in the middle of the night and go through the pocektS ot his pantS-not trousers, because Samuel was asked which they were and he said they were pants, and, what's more, so long as he made $15 week driving a furniture van he guessed he'd keep on calling them pants. Furthermore, asserted Samuel, they were his own pants and private prop erty, and he wanted everybody but himself to keep away from them.
 That's why he was in court - be- cause he tried to discourage trespass- ing in the pockets of his pants. Mrs. Kell told Magistrate Cornell that Samuel actually objected to her pleas ant custom of rising about a. m. and exploring his pockets, and she stated positively that she wouldn't i've any longer with a man who got ncCvcd about a little thing like that
 For nine years they had been mar ried, she and Samuel, and in all that time, she said, he has gwen her bat $4 or $5 week to run the hogSc and care for their two children, whiie he always had plenty of money to spend with the boys down dt the corner So she began picking his pockets while he slept, and last Friday night she made rich haul, getting SIT which she didn't know Samuel had and which Samuel didn't intend she should know anything about
 The next morning, she said Sarnr' made loud and indignant protest, and that night came the last straw. Sam uel not only sewed up his pockets but he kept his pants on and took them to bed with him. So she had him summoned to court.
 And that isn't all either, judge" said Mrs. Kell. "He never takes me anywhere or gives me anything"
 "I do too," cried Samuel. q took her to the movies twice last year."
 You'll have to do better than that" said Magistrate Cornell of a wife can't get the money she needs any other way she has a right to pick her husbands pockets. Now you pay her $7,5O a week, and I'll adjourn the case for month. Meanwhile you buy her some candy once in a while and take her to a show"
 "I'll go back if she'll quit picking my pockets" said Samuel. q don't want to have to keep my pants on for whole month"
 Mrs. Kell promised to keep away from SamuePs pockets so long as he kept up his payments.
