The Court of Domestic Delations, established in. 'Chicago to reconcile differences between married couples, has just had an extraordinary case brought before it. Mrs .John Beckinger complained that her husband left her for no adequate cause. The husband told Judge Goodenow that his wife showed so much affection for him that it became embarrassing. Not content with repeated declarations oi love at home, she followed him to his office and interfered with his business. The continued, display of affection became so tiresome that lie was obliged to leave home. The judge said that lie could not compel the "husband to return to his wife. The delinquest was ordered to pay his wife £6 a J month, and as they left the courtroom together Mrs Beckinger clung upon her husband’s arm and told the judge she would try to “win him back.” The boy stood on the frozen deck, And wished that be was dead ; The wind blew round bis naked neck, The rain beat on his headHe caught a cold—a killing cough, And said, “I’m done for sure” ; But now he’s well, his cold is off. Through Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
