Judge Richard E. Sloan, of Phoe- nix, former territorial governor, when he was here last week told how a tight-wad justice of the peace back in Ohio, his native state, met a man who was too much for him.
 The justice was sitting in his office, warming his feet with the stove and his nose with his pipe, when a strang- CT came in and asked:
 Judge, how much will you charge me to read about fifteen lines of printed matter from book I have ?"
 "Why, can't you read?" asked his Honor.
 "I can; but I want to hear how they sound when read aloud. I'll give you two bits to read them to me-"
 "All right" said the justice. q can't earn two shilling easier"
 A woman opened the door at that moment and the stranger put the book on the desk, clasped her hand, and said to the justice, Begin at the pencil mark there and read very slowly"
 His Honor's chin dropped exactly elgnteen mcheS Dy dry measure as ne saw that the reading matter was the usual form of marriage; but he didn't back down from his word. It was the cheapest marriage at which he had ever officiated and he didn't half enjoy the chuckles of the bride and groom as they went out.
 Al Sims says the fleet of launches on Lake Mary may not be very ex- pensive, but they have lots of smacks there.
 Dr. E. S. Miller has a good one about a man who went into a res taurant and gave his order this way:
 Bring me three dozen little, cheap oysters, the poorest you have, and af- ter that bring me half dozen of the biggest, choicest oysters you've got"
 "What's the idea?" asked the waiter.
 "I've got tape-worm," explained the customer, "and there's no use feeding him good oysters"

BOYD FREED FROM
 HIS VERY RIGHTEOUS WIFE

"I shall always love you as dear brother, but God alone is my husband, and l am happy"
 This is an extract from a letter Mrs. Laura M. Boyd, of Boston, wrote to her husband, William L. Boyd. It furnished the basis upon which MT. Boyd was granted divorce by Judge Taft.
 The trial of his action revealed a romance in the life of Mrs. Boyd. She was 39 and wealthy. He was 23 and a mechanic at the Coronado Hotel ga- rage. While she was a guest at the hotel, Mrs. Boyd met the mechanic, liked him, and then began to love him. They were married in Los Angeles in February, 1917, three months from the time they met.
 MT. Boyd went into the army and Twas discharged on account of his health. While he, was in the army, she went to Boston. He was to join her there upon his return from serv- ice. Meantime, she had become de- voutly religious. MT. Boyd arrived in Boston, but the atmosphere had changed. Instead of loving wife, he found Mrs. Boyd restrained. She de- clined to allow herself to be known as his wife. He met her subsequently, at Riverside, but she declined to live with him.
 "I am positive it is all for the best" she wrote him, Gas our likes are quite different, as you have often told me-"
 She reminded him there is the right kind of girl somewhere "who will be just the kind of pal you like" Los Angeles Times.
 Boyd managed the summer resort at Lake Mary some years ago, and was well known here.

 "Rimmy" Jim Giddings says that one of his helpers is spending most of his spare time reading the Bible and that he is particularly fond of the story of Solomon, who rained forty days and forty nights away back B.

 T. F. Davis, the fire insurance man at the First National bank, making the trip across by ferry from Wind sor, Canada, to Detroit couple of years ago got to talking with an old lake captain who was leaning against the rail.
 "How far is it down to Lake Erie" asked Davis.
 Eighteen miles,"
 Why did they call it Lake Erie ?" asked Davis, who thought he would quiz the old captain just for fun.
 "It was named after man named Erie who never came down to this dock without asking us if we'd have a glass of beer with him. He was a fine man. He's dead now"
 "And if man named Jones came along and asked all of you to drink you'd change the names to Lake Jones I suppose?"

 "Very we'll, captain. My name is Davis, but I'll see Jones in few days and speak to hinf about it. Meanwhile I hope you will try to get along on water. How long is this river?"
 But the captain wouldn't answer.

Back-tO-SchOOl Campaign An
 Annual Event

WASHINGTON,~D C.-The maJ Jority of American children are allowed to so to work without guidance in finding suitable employment, and are given no protection or supervision while remain ing at work, save that provided by the child labor laws.
 This is the statement of a report re- gently published by the children's bu- reau, setting forth the results of the back k-to- school and stay-in school campaigns carried on in 1919. under the auspices of the children's bureau and the council of national defense.
 Communities Awakened
 As a result of the bacl<-to-school and stay-in- school capaign," says the re port, the school period for many boys and girls have been prolonged. But the real value has been even more far reaching than keeping a few boys and girls in school. Communities are be- coming awakened to the needs of the working child
 "They have discovered that the mill lion or more children under 16 who leave school each year to go to work are not forced into work by poverty; many Of them are unaware of the ad- vaptages of an education or are moved simply by youthful restlessness or dis taste for school"
 Permanent Committees
 The realization that this early em- ployment contributes to illiteracy, i'll health. poverty, low wages, unemploy- ment and industrial inefficiency has led many communities to organize perma- nent school welfare committees to CO., operate with the school authorities in a yearly stay-in- school campaign.

 In giving a bed bath, your aim is to make a sick person thoroughly clean. and thoroughly dry without chilling or fatfguing her, without dampening the bed, and without unnecessary delay or haste A dripping wash cloth. and chilly room may mean a wet pillow and a thoroughly chilled patient.
 Exclude Drafts
 With the temperature of the sick room about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, with all the drafts excluded, and with the needed articles close at hand, re- move all the covers except two blan- kets in which you should wrap the sick member of your family, after you have taken off her gown. Two old blankets will save your newer ones. Place a hot water bag at her feet, and you are then ready to proceed to bathe her face. With d bath towel spread under her head, allow her to cleanse her mouth thoroughly while you hold water and basin for her.
 Bathe One Arm at Time
 Next bathe her arm, holding her wrist so that she will not become un- necessarily tired, and allowing her hand to remain in the refreshing water for a. few moments, before bathing the other arm and hand. Then renew the water in the basin and give your at tention to her chest and abdomen.

WIFE CREDITED WITH
 FOUR HUSBANDS
Rv Lorrv A. Jacobs

By Lorry A. Jacobs
 NEW YORK--If Richard F. Price, whose wife, Mrs. Irene Price, recently sued for annulment of their marriage on the grounds that Price had been married four times previously without the formality of divorce, decides to write a book on matrimony, he is very likely to have rival in Mrs. Edna Leslie.
 Mrs. Leslie, according to charges filed here by her first husband, Charles Hoffman, has had four husbands in seven years and possesses no docu : ments to show that a court granted her the right to be free of any of them.
 Loved to Be Loved
 Mrs. Leslie's formula for making men love her. according to her mother. Mrs. John Epple, was simply living to have a home and loving to be loved"
 It was no trouble for her daughter to catch a man once she set her cap for him. according to the girls mother. All she had to do was to inform them that she loved to be loved and liked domestic pursuits.
 And the chances are that she can Yin still more if she wants to- says Mrs. Epple. She never was the kind to sit around and nope and complain that she did not have a beau"
 Charged With Bisamy
 However, it fs not likely that Mrs. Leslie will, have chance to practice her vamping arts further. for she is fn jail here charged with bigamy Her husbands, according to her first hus- band, Charles Hoffman who filed the divorce, are: himself Robert Sim- mons, George Faucett and John Leslie.
