In a row at a ball in the Weide
In Bell county, in the fall of
1000, J. B. Me6ser shot and killed
J. D. Boyd. He was tried crim

a trial of the case, she was given
a judgment of $300 for herself
and for her son. In a for-
mer trial the jury failed to agree
The question of citizens hold-
ing two offices is creating no lit-
tle speculation. It is claimed to
be against the law for Texas
legislators to be Dotary publics,

body there will call him
"mister," but no one will give
him a chance to earn a living."

defended divorce suits were
tried in one day: "This is the
saddest thing 1 have ever seen.
The women never learn any-
thing about housekeeping, ap-
parently, and instead of atten-

marriage they are without in-

trouble follows. It all ends
here in the divorce court, as a
matter of course. It is a very
sad thing, very. You know,
1 have lived iu many hotels
and I have seen a great deal of
the way these little tragedies
start."
This tide of infidelity and
easy divorce must be turned
back; it threatens to engulf the
social fabric. It is in the home
