ginning to put their arms around
each other's necks, one member
got up and said, wasent it a

sadder he got, till he almost cried
into his demmi tass
the vodeville magnjt listened
and great sobbs cahie up in his
throte
suddenly he jumped to his feet
this club shall' not be homeless
no longer, he said, i will give to

oh, what joy. all the members
fell on his neck and shook hihi by

anyway, the seckerterry of the
club got a note from the secker

to the fact that on the happy and
never to be forgotten evening he
had made out and signed a 5 year
lease and given it to the president
of the club

MAN, MOST TO BLAME
"The average man is a wholft
lot Worse tha nthe average wo
man." Judge Wm. N. Gemmill,
Court of Domestic Relations,
where every court day he sits and
hears tales of the trouble between
husband and wife.
Judge Gemmill has kept a card
index account of all cases that
have, come before him, and from
them has Compiled the following
table of the cases of 4;he hundreds
of disagreements that been relat
ed in his court:
Hidden diseases, 25 per cent;
interference of mother-in-law, 25
per cent; interference , of children
and second marriage, 15 per cent;
young and hasty marriages, 15
pgr cent; Ungovernable temper,
10 per cent; whisky and drugs, 10x
per cent.
"It is a sad commentary to
make," said Judge Gemmill, "butf
an average man will walk off and
leave his family to starve, as soon
as any trouble enters his home.
Rut ho matter what the condi
tions, a mother, deserted by her
husband, starving artd penniless,
fights to the bitter end to keep
her children with her." -
