not vouchsafe whether it was

Rev. F. H. Hoag of the Church

feel like he was much of a sim

declined to .humor his wife, a

between the pair; she said, hes

said Ernie would "give in" and
Ernie gave out that he be dinged
if he would and he didn't. After

that he had diligently searched
the scriptures and could no

commanded to fast to the point

man came down to get pictures
of the husband and wife and
the surroundings and Ernie took
him to the woodshed and maui

said he had enough publicity
over the ridiculous affair with
