In spite of what I here written about Mr. Bowser’s shortcomings, I have no doubt that be compers favorably with the average husband, and in some attributes I know hb execls. Before our marriage moth er insisted that we settle one impor tant question, viz: What ailowance Iwas to nave weekly. When TI broached the subject Mr. Bowser promptly said: “Half of all Ihave or earn is, or When you want money you will simply go to the family pocket book and teke it and use it as your judgement dictates.” When I told mether what he said she replied: “That is too generous. knew aman to make such an offer that he didn’t afterward pinch his wife down to fifty cents a week.” When the question incidentally Mr. Bowser will be, “yours. IT never came up again, later on, took occasion to observe: “There will always be money in the house, and I don’t want to mar- ry ® woman whom I could not trust to use it for our best interest it will belong to you as much us to me, and you need never ask me for a dollar.” A few weeks after our marriage an agent called at the house with some fancy work, and I took from the wallet in the bureau draw er and made some purchases. That evening when Mr. Bowser came I proudly pointed to my tidies and mats and said: “Those were purchased with our money, Mr. Bowser. “How our money?” “Why, I took a bill from the fum- ily wallet.” “You did! Who gave permission to fling my money around for gim- cracks?” “Doesn't half of it belong to met” “Not by along shot?” “But before we were mu said it would.” “That's in theory, of course. I will see that you are net tempted again. When you want money ask for it. Ican them put the amount down on our cash-book a:.d figure our expenses ” The next week I wanted a new bonnet, and asked Mr. Bowser for $165. “Fifteen what!” he gasped as he looked up. “Dollars.” “What for?” “To buy a bonnet.” “Fifteen dollars to buy a bonnet! You must be crazy! I cannot afford any such extravagance.” “But you said you could trust my judgement.” “Never did! No woman on earth his judgement enough to use a $10 bill.” “And you said Ihad only to ask you when I wanted money.” “But I mean’t to have explained to you, Mrs. Bowser. There are times when the best of us may be hard up. Never ask me at tax time. Never ask me when I have coal to buy. Never ask me in the spring when I shall be making repairs. Don’t ask during the holiday season for then Iam buying presents. In fact, when I can spare any money I will give it to you without your ask- ing.” “But you once said a wife must feel mean without money, and that you believed in a weekly allowance.” TI protested. “I still think so, and I still believe so. I think it would be more satis- factory to both ofus. Mrs. Bowser. name the sum you are willing to take.” “For pin-money “Of course.

Let's figures ittle und see what you have bought.” “But wasn’t it mine, to use as T thought best?” “Theoretically speaking, yes; but should you become a spendthrilt, who would be respousible for 1? The possession of pleuty of money bas been the ruination of inany wo men.” Never ruined a mau, I suppose!” “Possibly, but that’s not the ques tion. Let us figure.” “So we will, Air.

What arrears? If you want money why don’t you ask for it, the same as other wives What are you trying to get at? “Don't I have a weekly salary?” “Not that I ever heard of.” “But you said—I thought you were going to—to——" “Going to Texas? Ob no! Mrs. Bowser, you have been exposed to the measles, and you are excited. If you want a quarter or fifty cents here it is, but please control your nerves a little better.” “But don’t I get $5 a week?” “Not that I know of.” “And so you go back on your do. word, do you?” “Mrs. Bowser, the term ‘go back is’slangy. Please don’t use it at our fireside. If ovcasion should ever arise when you feel the need of mon- ey, don’t hesitate to ask me. Here are a couple of street car tickets now.

W. A. Noyes, 149 Power’s Block, Rocheste N. Judge Field rendered an impor- tant decision to-day determining that the property of a divorced wom- an can not be attached for debts con- tracted by her former husband. The case was that of Mary Scott against John Howard Williams, Sheriff Sitlington and Andrew Scott. Williams obtained a judgment against Scott and directed the sher- iff to levy upon the property of his wife, which consisted of 125 acres of land near the Blue. Mrs. Scott prayed for an injunction restraining the sale of the land under the execu- tion, on the ground that she was a divorced woman and her property Was not subject to a levy for her husband's indebtedness. The de- fendants demurred to this point in the petition, and this mornin j Field overruled the demur Judge K. C. Star. old by W auist, Butler; Mo. ~ The Wages ef Geverners.

Evening News. A New Jersey judge has driven an entering wedge into one of the most absurd inconsistencies of legal practice by refusing to allow a juror to he challenged upon the ground that he had read newspaper com- ments upon the case at issue. Law- yers have long acted upon the theory that a few lines in a newspaper would so convince the reader, that all the subtleties of legal argument, all possible evidence and the clear- est provisions of the law would be insufficient to undo its work. Theugh a high endorsement ef the influence of the press, the effect of this theo- ry has been to ‘bar from the jury box every intelligent man, for it is only men devoid of intelligence who fail to read newspapers.
