Forty-sx years ago, there only one telephone

QUEER GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE

A MISSOURI minister has sued for divorce alleg-
ing that his wife publicly rdiculed his sermons
and held him up to contempt of his congregations
This is serious charge and should be punishable
by something than divorce.
Ministers have trouble enough without getting
It at home. There is no doubt but that hardly a
minister has ever lived who has not had some
one TO ridicue his sermons 1t just simply is not
the proper order OF things that everyone should
with the pastor But the wife, we repeat of all
persons on earth should stick.

heart and bad for the stomach of the
small boy, and cramps and diarrhea are
usually the price he pays for eating
them.
Diarrhea and cramps are due to the
same cause, something in the stomach

the stomach or intestines try to expel

Ahe NEWS dlreauy naO spread by the
time he reached there; news travels
fast IN small mining camp. Fair.
child went to the hospital, and to the
Side OF the cot where Harry had been
taken, to find the doctor there before
him, already bandaging the wound on
Harry's head and looking with con.
cern now and then at the pupils Of
the unconscious mans eyes.
Are you going to stay here with
him?" the physician asked.
"Yes," Fairchild said, in spite of
aching fatigue and heavy eyes. The
doctor nodded.
"Good. don't know whether he's
going to pull through or not. OF
course, I can't say-but 1t looks to me
from his breathing and his heart ac-
tion that he's not suffering as much
from this wound as he is from some
sort of poisoning.
We've given him apomorphine and
1t should begin to take effect soon,
We're using the batteries too. You
say that you're going to be here?
That's help. They're shy nurse on
this floor tonight, and I'm having q
pretty busy time Of it.. I'm very much
afraid that poor old Judge Richmond's
going to lay down his cross before
morning." y
"He's dying?" Fairchild said It with
clutching sensation at his throat.
The physician nodded.
"There's hardly a chance for him."
The physician went, and Fairchild
took his place beside the bed of the
unconscious Harry, his mind divided
between concern for his faithful part.
ner and the girl who, some time in
the night, must say good-by forever to
the father she loved.
Judge Richmond was dying. What
would that mean? What effect would
1t have upon the engagement Of Anita
and the man Fairchild hoped that she
detested? What--then he turned at
the entrance Of the inferno with the
batteries.
IF you're going to be here all
night" said the white-coated indi-
vidual, It'll help me out lot If you'll
use these batteries for me. Put them
on at their full force and apply them
to his cheeks, his hands, his wrists and
the soles Of his feet alternately. From
the way he acts, there's some sort Of
morphine poisoning. We can't tell
what it is-except that 1t acts like a
narcotic. And about the only way we
can pull him out Is with these appli-
cations"
The inferno turned over the bat
teries and went on about his work,
while Fairchild, hoping with his heart
that he had not placed an impediment
in the way Of Harry's recovery by not
telling what he knew Of Crazy Laura
and her concoctions, began his task.
Midnight came and early morning.
With dawn, the figure on the bed
stirred slightly and groaned. Fair
child looked up, to see the doctor Just
entering.
