fine, we think, as you would find at a
state fair. The ladies' department had
bread, cake, butter, pic, etc., and a
beautiful display of fancy work. The

A Divorce Case

"Do case bufo' do jury la a dlvo'ce

Mist' Illcks t'lnks kazo he was gradl
vnted nt do Uulrcrslty of Vlrgtnny be
kiu teach do co't how to try de case
be mighty much mistaken."
Tho Judge paused nnd. glared at Mr.
Illcks, as much as to say that If he
presumed to Dud fault with the courf
rulings ho would bo jailed for coa
tempt.
"Do fust evldcnco is fo Geo'ge
Wnshlngton to say why ho want to
git rid of Glunlc," tho judge conth
uetl, and Mr. Illcks, knowing that his
time had come, called William GUson,
n very black negro, to tho stand. Alt
er gottlng In tho preliminaries the law
yer naked:
"Whoro woro you on tho 12th et
October last?"
"Vnlkln' by Gco'go Washington's
house"
"Toll tho Jury what .you saw on that
occasion."
"I saw Anron Arnold go into de
yard, nnd I saw Mrs. Washington
wnshln' clothes In n tub Just outside
do kitchen. Anron ho stolo up behind
Mrs. Washington, put ho arms around
hor and hug her,"
"Gentlemen of tho Jury," said the
lawyer, "I would explain that Aaron
Arnol Is tho corespondent In this
case."
Tho jury looked at one another.
Then the foreman glanced nppeallngly
nt tho Judge.
"Do correspondcr," his honor Inform
ed them, "Is do rnsclll or do gal what
comos Into do fnmbly to break it up."
"Exactly, your honor," said Mr.
nicks. "Now, William GUson, toll the
Jury how Mrs. Washington received
Aaron Arnold's enrcss."
Tho witness v looked wildly about
about him, ns If nfrald of Bomothlng.
It was evident that tho word caress
lind frightened him.
"Cnrcssln," tho Judgo Informed him,
"Is what Mlsto' Arnold done at de
washtub. Now, toll do co't what Gin
nlo Washington dono to do corre
spondcr." "Missus Wnshlngton," said tho wit
ness, summoning courage, "sho up an'
hit Mlsto' Arnold obcr do bald wld de
washboard." . 1
i This bit of'ovldenco was unexpected
by tho attorney for" tho plaintiff. He
didn't seem to know what to say next
Presently ho decided:
"Call George Washington.
"Georgo Washington," ho Bald when
the husbnnd took tho stand and had
answral n few preliminary questions,
"you say you saw tho dofendant enter
your yard, Btenl up behind your wife
nnd hug her. Now, did your wlfo re
ceive his endearments as tho last wit
ness testified?"
"No, snh."
"How did sho recolvo them?" ''
"Sho didn't need to tnko do wash

Sho jlst hauled off nnd tuk Mlsto' Ar

The plaintiff's attorney wan again
nouplused. Tho Judgo took up his
";Jou'ge Washington, wha fo' yo'

"Ye?, Judge. 1 want to provo dut
inn wlf might hard 'oomnn to lib

The Judgo looked puzzled, but wa
equal to the occasion,
"Ulnnle Washington,''"' ho snld, "what
fo' hit yo' huslmn', who befo de
Luwd yo' promise to lub, honah an'
obey?"
"Jrdg, I novo' hit ma husban' dat
wuy but once. Dat was when Plnkoy
Smith was wnshln' clothes nnd I seen
(!eo'g come up behind her and put he

There was another pausoJ
"Why didn't you apply for a dl

"Kuzo I didn't want no dlvo'co no
how, i kin talc keor of my ol man,
.unl I don't want no co't and no lawyer
to ln'lp me. Wheneber I ketch him
foolln' I JlHt put my fist on him, and
he dou'l do it no mo', for a spell any
way. Do winunen bring a heap of
troublo on domselvcs, Jedgc anyway

This haranguo had n marked effect
on tho Judgo.
"Goo'go Washington," ho said, "yo
