W ife May Rifle Pockets
of Husband Without Fear
of Committing Larceny
Chicago. Feb. 24/—There seems to
bo no othe recourse left to the lowly
married man but to line his pockets
with fishhooks.
Judge Morgan, In the court of
domestic relations, yesterday ruled
a wife hag a moral and legal right
to explore hubby's pockets, appro
priating whatever of thj> content ap ,
peals to her and she is not thereby
liable to a charge of larceny, petit or
grand.
Clinton Hurlburt, head of the Ad
vertising Products company, who has
been living apart from his wife,
visited her Wednesday night. When
he awoke in the morning, he said she
had cleaned his pockets of everything,
not evjpn leaving him carfare.
"You need not defend yourself.”
said the judge to the wife. *‘A wife
hardly can be convicted of robbing
her husband, nor a husband of rob
bing his wife, since they are partners
and one partner is not supposed to
rob the other.”
Final Survivor of
Light Brigade Dying
London, Ont., Feb. 24—Thomas W.
Shaw, who claims to be the last sur
vivor of the famous light brigade, to-'
night was riding for the second time
“into the jaws of death.”
But the venerable cavalryman—91 ,
years old—had n<\t between his knees j
the charger which dashed upon the
Russian battery at Balaklava in 1S54.
Under him was a white-sheeted hospi-1
tal cot from which, the doctors say,
he will never rise.
After his charge with the glorious,
600, Shaw felt upon his brow the j
soothing hand of Florence Nightin i
gale—a memory that was his most !
cherished possession. And, last night,
upon his solitary ride into “the valley
of death,'' the soft fingers 'of the
mighty hand of daughters Nightin
gale gave the world were touching
hi# brow but the old soldier did not
feel them.
.J41g breath came In agonizing gasps.
Tho end is near.

“Do You Own
Any Real Estate?”
i /
If How many times have you had that question shot at you when
you approached some credit manager for extended credit—or
your banker, for a loan to cover an unexpected emergency?
If Were you prepared to answer “Yes?"
m |j The purchase of real estate is the first step toward financial
independence. The worker who owns his home is much less
concerned about work becoming slack than the one who doesn’t.
At the grocery store, at the clothing store, at the department
store—everywhere where credit is sought—home owners are
given preference.
If Make a start—buy a home.
If The “City Real Estate” columns of The Sunday Omaha Bee
are brim full of splendid home opportunities—cozy, homey
places for the man of limited means—beautiful, pretentious
ones for the buyer with more exacting tastes. In most cases
a substantial initial payment will enable you to move in and
begin living under your own roof. The balance may be paid in
small monthly installments—just like rent.
|f The home you want—at a price that you can afford and on
terms that will not pinch your pocketbook — is advertised in
The Sunday Omaha Bee today.
