About a year ami a half ago he
met and woed her, and to prove
his affection he Inibt her. for which
rash act he was placed in the jug
for safe keeping. But be didn’t)
keep worth a cent. The matri-1
menial fever was in hia blood, he]
i broke out, they met, and an ohlig
■ ing dominie made the loving twain
one. She was an old hand at the
, business, while he,well, the chances
are he’ll never try it again. She
owned considerable property, and
I ’tis said he actually worshipped
the ground she walked on; hut
she well understood how to keep
control of it.
For something over a year they
lived the blissful—or rather the
blisterful—life of the Kilkenny
cats, till she finally sought a di
vorce. pending which restraining
orders were issued to keep him
separated from her |>erson or prop
erty. It acted very well for a few
days, hut you know the old saw
about lovers laughing at holts and
bars; true to habit, a few evenings
later he quietly dropped in about
meal time, and was lovingly re
ceived with a club and a fry pan.
\\ ben the j>eace officer stepped in
and took him in charge he still
i Isire the marksof the fond embrace,
i while she, poor gal, had a few
: marks herself; some of which she
. will retain as keepsakes to remem
iter him by.
Before the judge next morning
I he was charged with assault and
battery with attempt to eat, and
was sent into exile for six months.
Being of a literary turn of mind

j I>ook. and just this very morning
he confidentially let out to us that
