Atlanta, April 5.—Suffragettes
throughout the land will delight in
the methods employed by Mrs. Ella
Lee Morris, of this city, in handling
her husband, Jos. A. Morris, wno
came home on a drunken and bois
terous spree.
Instead of weepiag and teariig
her hair and saying that he did not
lore her any more, Mrs. Morris
called in a couple of her neighbors
and with their assistance tied her
husband hand and foot, after which
she rolled him over into a corner on
the hard floor, and left him until ne
had got over his Jag. When he was
thoroughly sobered, she untied him
and marched down town, and with
the assistance of a lawyer, filed suit
for divorce.
The couple were married in Juie
1911. Mrs. Morris complains in her
divorce petition that her husband
was frequently drunk and cruel. He
talked too much to her, she oald.
when he was drunk, and when he
was sober, she declared he refused
to talk to h«r at all.

friends went out in search of the
best man, who had disappeared,
with the marriage license iu his
pocket.
After the long search, the best

in his pocket, was found comforta
bly snoozing on a couch in his own
bachelor apartments, with the dress
clothes he had intended to wear to
the weddin? all carefully laid out cn
a ‘*hair before the bureau.
His alarm clock had failed to go
off, and a little nap which he had
expected would only last a half hour,
had carried him past the time set
for the weddinir. He was hurried
into his clothes, and the long de
layed ceremony proceeded.
