MANY WIVES IS NO GUARANTY
 HAPPY HOME

DAYTON, O., Oct. 20.-That a man can be the husband of any number of wives and still be without a home was evidenced yesterday by the tale of William Jones, a negro, fifty six years old, who confessed to, the po- lice that having emulated the ex- ample of King Solomon and taken un- to himself forty wives, he was never theless without a habtation Jones stated that he has a large and varied collection of life companions, none of them dead or divorced. So far as he knows during the first ten months of this year he has married no less than fifteen. But in spite of his prodigality in this respect, he is vagrant, with no place in which to lay his head.

 Maybe you discharged her be- cause you couldn't do with her as you have done with other stenog- raphers," Garvey declares he told his father.
 " I'll make you eat those words. my father replied. I've got some thing to make you
 Garvey said his father then opened | the drawer of the desk at which he was sitting with his left hand and r moved his right hand toward the open drawer.
