ADELARD TURCOTTE GRANTED
DIVORCE

In the supericr court this Friday
morning. Adelard Turcotte of Moos-
up was granted decree of divorce
from his wife, Rozelma Turcotte, on
the ground of desertion.
The couple were married in 1901
at Moosup. The first time his wife
left him she remained away nine
months. This was on account of trou-
BILE about her going to moving pic
lures and on automobile rides, the pc
titioner thinking that his wife should
stay at home.
There was a reconciliation and the
couple lived together until 1910,
when Mrs. Turcotte again went away
taking all of the furniture. He does
not know where his wife is, and has
only seen her once, that was at Rocky
Point on the Providence river.

ly, Irene aroused Mable's anger and
Mable quickly stood up on the bed
to trounce Irene. AS she was about
to carry out her purpose, she caught
her foot and sat down, none to gent
ly. She struck the bed, but the bed
kept going. We sat still, rather daz-
ed, and talk about blank looks! When
we came to our senses enough to find
out what had happened we discovered
that one leg of the bed had gone
through the floor. At this instant
we heard Mrs. Lord, who had been
aroused by the crash came up stairs
After very earnest conversation,
we busted for bed.
Sunday morning was as hot as ev-
err. We found the "chuck" was not
as tame as we had thought, and we
were Obliged to dump him in the
woods. After supper, Billy Currier
made some fudge which needless to
say did not stay on the shelf very
long.
Monday morning we all got up early
and packed our belongings, when the
floors had been mopped and the camp
was as clean as we thought it ought
to be, we ate up he remaining cook
les and doughnuts and ook a last
look at everything. A storm came
up and we started for Norton in the
rain, but it soon stopped. Some of
us h ad the good fortune to ride out
in Mr.. Jacobs jitney'
At last the train pulled in and we
said good-by to Norton. No one
shed tears when we boarded the train
but they haven't seen the last of us
yet.
Much of our good time we owe to
Mrs. Lord, who did her bset to make
things pleasant. Many a time we
found our work done and many a
helping word did she give to the
cooks.
