BlbEicaI Thrift.

VIE Scriptures give us many lessons
In thrift. Ezekiel warned the children
of Israel thai during the siege Of Jeru-
salem they would have to be thrifty.
He said: Stake thou also unto thee
wheat, and barley. aud beans. and
lentiles, and miilet. and fitches, and
put them in one vessel, and make thee
bread thereof. Ezekiel iv: 9. The
Bible shows that Ezekiel ordered the
children of Israel to eat theis meat
by weight, aud even thus only ''from
lime to tine. Thrift Magazine.

She WASN'T THE
SWEET THING He
THOUGHT She WAS

New Haven, March 29-Nominal
damages of $3.50 were given to Mrs
Katherine Lens, a clergyman's
widow. in her suit for breach Of
promise to marry against Frank
Streitweiser, an elderly German OF
West Haven, by Judge Case of the
Superior Court today. Streitweiser
was widowed and he went wooing,
at first by proxy, friends obtaining
for him a candidate for matrimony.
Mrs. Lens came on from Brooklyn as
the result of the letter writing.
Streitwiser found her too old, more
over, he had paid court to another
woman whom he married. This wife
recently died. Just before that
Streitweiser had been in the hands of
federal officers as an enemy alien, and
eventually was fined FOR having ex-
plosives in his house, although the
quantity was small and he is a gun
maker.
Judge Case in making decision said
that it was unfortunate that STREET,
weiser did not personally conduct his
advances on Mrs. Lens. "a prudent
man would have foreseen disaster in
the result of a campaign of this char
acter," he said. He was confronted
by a scrap of paper" in which he
had said he would marry the widow.
| The cooking of Mrs. Lens of sausage
for Streitweiser had no effect in the
case, although this sausage made him
sick.
The court adds: "Streitweiser' ad-
mission as a witness that the some
what embarrassing entanglements
with another woman, which he con-
fessed to Mrs. Lens, were only an
artful fiction Of his own, is significant
OF his realization of the real obliga-
ton he was trying to avoid
The court held that havoc worked
Is not beyond entire repair and
| awarded moderate damages.
