and 200 On Morning
of April 4th
BODY NOT ROBBED
DIAMOND PIN FOUND
Sheriff Galatas Goes to Sill
dell to Investigate and
Get Testimony

Between 1870 and o'clock Tues
day morning shots were heard in
North Slidell by several, including
Austin Howard and E. B, Foreman.
and search disclosed the BODY OF
Henry w. Levens, shot, the bullet
entering at the right top of the
sternum and coming out at the left
shoulderblade. He was dead. An
inquest was held by DR.. Griffith, and
the facts cleaned justified further
investigation, and the summoning OF
witnesses who are said to have seen
the Hash and heard the report of the
gun. 1t is said that freight moved
out OF slidell about that time and
that LeVens might have been shot
while attempting to board it.
Letters were found on Leyins' body
to o. G. Spikes and to Mrs. Dora
Levens Mr.. Levens' wife. The let
ter to his wife was enclosed in the
letter to Spikes, and told of the diff
tlculties he had in obtaining employ
ment. He said he had been unable
to find single job vacant. That he
would send her money as soon as
he could get hold of some; that he
would pawn his diamond ring. He
Was on his way to Lum berton, Miss,
il he could make the trains. He sent
love to her and the babies. He said
the only money he had had was S.
given him by his mother when he left
home. The letter was addressed to
Pass Christian. The letters were
written on the stationery of the Gulf
& Ship Island R. R., Co., and were
dated at Mendenhall, Miss, April l.
The diamond ring spoken of was
found on Levens' person. making it
evident that robbery was not the
cause Of the shooting. Sheriff Ga
latas went to Slidell Thursday to
make an Investigation and discussed
the matter with District Attorney
Vol Brock and it was decided that
Mr.. Brock would file papers in the
matter so as to bring the case to a
hearing.

The real trouble with matrimony is
that most husbands and wives are
absent minded about It.
They forget to be good husbands and
wives.
Not one nnaN in q million takes
girl away from a good home and her
loving family with the deliberate pur-
pose of neglecting her. and making her
life drab and dull. On the contrary, his
Intentions are honorable and when he
swears az the altar TO love and cherish
her. he means every word OF 1t. and
he fully expects TO do all in his power
to make her the happiest woman in
the world
But when the honeymoon ends he
gets absorbed in business. He has a
thousand cares and anxieties pressing
on him. He is often overworked, and
nerve wracked, and his time is so
taken up with a multitude of other
duties and interests that he forgets
all about being a good husband.
At the bottom of his heart he knows
the men they love. He knows how

grateful for a >little appreciation of
what she does for him as a starved

He knows that she is almos. hys-

fetish women make of anniversaries
and that they are ready 10 overlook

DAYS, and the anniversaries Of the time
i;hey first met and their wedding day.
! He knows thai a womna's heart
starves TO death without love and SEN

would starve TO death without food.
Yet the man does not take the
trouble TO say the word Ut praise TO
his wife. He never notices what she

wonders why his wife is so peevish and
dissatisfied.
And he never dreams that he In
making his wife miserable simply be-
cause he has forgotten to be a good
husband TO her.
In fact, every man who isn't leading
the double life, and who does not beat
his wife. Is perfectly convinced that
he is a model husband, and that his
wife ought 10 spend most of her time
on her knees thanking God for him.
He simply can't understand a woman 5

Don't prove my love BIZ spending

bring her home flowers? Isn't beef

lection as bunch of violets? What
