A farmer; living not more than 2.000 mile.® from Fairbury, had an advertise ment inserted in a paper reading: “Notice—My wife having left my bed and board. I will not be responsible for any debts she may contract. *’ Whereupon the wife read the paper and went mad. so blamed mad she grabbed her typewriter and wrote for publication the fol lowing: “Whereas, my one-time hus band has published in the paper that I have left his bed and board. Well, his bed was little better than a board—why should I not leave it? I paid for the bed from money I made teaching school be fore we were married and made the feather tick with my own hands and killed the bedbugs that I got on the slats. I could stand i the bugs better than him. The bugs worked only nights and while; they have a disagreeable odor when smashed they smell all right i if you leave them alone, but as for the old man. whew, it was only about once a month that he wash ed his feet and the tobacco smell on his clothes clung to him like a louse. Leave his bed and board— I should say I did. I furnished the board—cooked the meals stood off the grocer and the meat man. If it hadn't been for the kids I'd left him long ago. As for con tracting debts, he never did any contracting. That's what those debts needed—contracting: they always expanded when he was around and I took in sewing to keep them from expanding any more. You'll have to go to work now, and contract them yourself. Keep your old bed and board I don't want any more of them."— Journal.

GOTCH SAYS HE’S THAI WRESTLING Frank Gotch champion wrestler of the world who has been retir ing annually for the last four years, probably is out of the game for ever. says the Kansas City Star. Gotch was recently offered $30,000 for three matches to take place in | New York, but he turned down the offer. In the past the jingle of the coin has lured him from his Iowa farm, but now he says that no amount of money can induce him to enter the game again. In a letter to his manager, Emil Klank. received .yesterday, Gotch says: “Please announce positively that I am through with wrestling for ever. My wife and myself have gone over ‘.be matter throughly and nothing will ever induce me to change my mind. The call of the foreigners and the offer of big purses will never make me leave the farm again. I would suggest that Bee 11 and Amercus get togeth er and then let the winner of this match defend the title. I will wil linging waive my right to the title* in favor of the winner of the match between Beell and Americus.’’ YOU WILL BE PLEASED In buying your suits for Spring either Tailor made or Ready-to-Wear.
