possibility and freedom. from
care that most college men have pre-
pares them for anything else but the
humdrum life and responsibility of
a real business man.
And then If q man adds to a grow
ing business curriculum a wife, the
dickens is to pay.
Don't misunderstood me. sgd
Leslie is the sweetest. dearest, love
Hest girl in all the world and I am
still. yet and always In love with
her. But when you and I had spent

Can't Be Done"
When man is married, that SOFT

the first Of the next month with its
bills. Sgd. I didn't know 1t cost so
much for two people to live. And
you can't shunt them off by telling
them you will pay them somwhere

she has worked harder than she
ever did in her life. Besides, It must
come very hard for her.
She Is doing her own work, you

Discharge Liquor
Case Against Mrs.
GagnOn Wednesday

The trial Of Mrs. Phoebe Gagnon,
which was continued from October %,
took place yesterday morning in mu-
nicipal court and after hearing the
evidenced Judge Atchley discharged
the respondent. The charge was il
legal possession of Intoxicating LIQUOR
and Mrs. Gagnon was represented by
Frank Plumstead. Six quarts Of beer
which were found by deputy sheriffs
in Mrs. Gagnon's cellar at Grey
street on October 20 were sent to Au-
gusta for an analysis and We're found
to contain 6a per cent of alcohol.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Harrington
testified that he received a warrant
from Recorder ]. A. Letourneau about
4.30 p. NJ. October 20 and went with
Deputy Sheriff Frank Lessor to search
Mrs. Gagnon's premises at 5.45 p. NJ.
They went upstairs to Mrs. Gagnon's
apartment and found her there with
her husband and a child They
searched her apartment first and then
went into her basement, where they
found eight Moxie bottles filled with
the old fashioned hop beer in the wood
pile. Six Of the bottles were in a
bag and two outside. A couple, of
sticks Of wood were laid over the bot
ties but evidently not in an effort to
conceal them for they were plainly
visible. The deputy testified that he
had never heard complaints Of Mrs.
Gagnon selling liquor. \
Mrs. Gagnon testified through the
help of an interpreter. She said her
husband came home a week ago Sun
day and the search was made the day
after. The beer was not for sale but
for home use. She had never sold
any. She had been living in that
house for seven years with her two
children. boy aged II and a girl
aged 10. She has been married for
% years and has had six children
four having died. Mrs. Gagnon and
her husband had been having trouble
but not on account of her selling
liquor. The beer was not in the wood
pile in the bag the last time she knew
about it, but was in a box with the
bag underneath.
Judge Atchley told Mrs. Gagnon
that complaints had been coming to
him that parties have been going to
her house and coming away intoxi-
Gated and taking away liquor. He
told her that he was going to release
her this time but she must clean her
place up and II he heard anything
more there would be something doing.
Tie judge decided that the evidence
was insufficient to hold the respondent
but he deemed the circumstances very
suspicious. This is one Of the few
liquor cases that have been tried be-
fore Judge Atchley in the past two
years in which the respondent has been
