White rode down to this town. early
yesterday morning in his dilapidated
fiivver from his small farm In Snake
Hollow. ~
He left the flivver In front of a
cobbier's and went in to get a pair
Of boots he had left there for repair.
While he was inside villager pasted

copy Of q New York newspaper con-
tanning an Gccount OF hiss ,tarring.

his gears, q Sock of nondescrtpt yege-
tables A>w around his head.
He shot out of the village ON high
speed. The last seen of him he wns

There was an ugly undercurrent to
the mirth. Several prominent resi-

| This INIT the end of our affair
with Bouck White. We don't want
him here. Why, he has only paid the
interest on the debt we owe him when
he was tarred and feathered and
whipped.
RESENT FLAG BURNING.
They may tolerate thinks like this

county for a man to burn an Amerl-

girl he has married the way she says
he has treated her"
| Mrs. White looked radiantly happy.
| Her rosy cheeks were. glowing. Her
white teeth were cleaning. Her tau,
| supple figure was vibrant with life
and health. Her brown eyes sparkled
| as she listened to the story OF the
| "veeetabling" of her husband.

Before God, thought this man
was worthy TO live here and enjoy
Gods good, clear afr, His sunshine,

WHITE FOUND IN ovERALLs.
| : White appeared to be taking the
situation on with extreme sang
froid. His neishbors showed much
greater agitation than did he.
He was found today when. an au-
tomobile pulled up beside his noun
tsin home putting the finishing
touches on pump house of field
stone out behind his meager frame
dwelling, labelled by his own hand.
He, was wearing overalls and
welding a trowel. He said, indi-
eating the overalls:
i As a matter OF fact these overalls
i had as much as anything to do with
the separation between my wife and
me. She hated to think that I was
| lAborer and toiled with my hands.
Il
Our last quarrel was because I was
always wearing overalls and my
hands always were calloused. She
/ could not seem to realize that I was
a iaborer and that she was my help
mate.
WHY WIFE SUED HIM.

your wife has sued you for sepsrs-
tiop on the grounds that when you
| courted her In Paris you concealed
from her the fact that you are an
extremist. and that you have treat
ed her cruelty. Isn't that correctr'
White then continued:
"Yes. a. may be true that she la
bored under the delusion that I was
| bourgeois. IL Ia true that I always
wore q white collar when I was In
