ciples I'm opposed 10 divorce"
I've observed that those who are
most violently opposed 10 I, need n
and ycnrn for u with n great ycarn.
Ing. My personal opinion e that
80 per cent OF our divorces arc due
to insanity on tho part or ono or
both-usually both.
In tho beginning they were
crazy 20 set marriod-and in tho
end they were crazy 20 get d.
Norced-so that makes them 100 per
cent deficient mentally Tho other
30 per cent OF divorce cases are due
to III health.
Il recall tho case OF Luke Hennn.
berry. who Is IN charge OF our dock
Luke married the sweetest. finest
girl that ever worked for tho Blue
Star Navigation company. Five
years later she sued Luke for d.
yorce, charging mental cruelty.
Luke counter-nttacked aud sued her
for divorce, charging incompatlblilty
Of temperament.
We'll, Il was case OF the pot
calling tho kettle black, and after
tho judge had listened for n week
70 tho tale or their domestic In.
felicity, he threw UP both hands
and called II a dead heat.
But Luke and his wife were In.
slstent on divorce. 20 His Honor
made them roll the bones, ono flop.
TO see which one should be granted
the divorce.
Luke won, but declined 70 be
dirty. He offered TO abdicato in
his wifo's favor. Sho refused. on
tho grounds that sho could not pos.
sibly permit herself 10 bo under OBJ.
legation 20 n man she was suing for
divorce.
80 the Judge settled the uues.
ton by denying both divorce and
they had TO 30 back living with
each other.
Then l took a hand IN the bat
tie. / sent a transcript Of the testi.
mony in tho case 70 my doctor and
gave him 500 20 read II and render
mo an expert opinion. Ho reported
that they were both ill-apparently
neurasthenic, so ! had him paw
Luke over and remove ono of the
most awful pair of tonsils in North
America.
"Tthen ] had him carve out OF Mrs.
Luke an appendix that had been
malignant for three years. When
they wero well ! sent them 10 New
York on one of our Blue Star ships
and gave them whizz bang of a
vacation. That was quite while
ago and the cure seems to be per.
manent.
Tho trouble with them was that
they were both poisonous, nervous,
Irritable and depressed. 1 had
known them both when they
weren't, so naturally knew there
must ho reason"
Then you think doctors might
be able to cure married infelicity?"
