When her husband was arrested he gave as his excuse that his wife bad a mania for buying costly things and contracting large bills for hats, laceo and clothes which had nearly ruined bim, and as he loved her too mueh to separate from her, he had kept her im prisoned on week days, letting her out only on Sunday, when the stores were closed. Tbe wife admitted that her husband had been justified in doing so and that he had treated her very well in all other respects, and as she said she could not promise to be less extrava gant in the future, the court allowed her husband to keep her looked up during the week and she willingly fol lowed him home.

"This woman lived on a bank of a swift and deep stream. Tho stream flowed past her back door, and on the bank her ohildren played. "A traveller passed in his boat ono day and was appalled at the risk tho little ohildren ran. " 'Madam,' he shouted to their mother, 'aren't you afraid tc let your ohildren play so near the stream?'
