—Mrs. Cora La Forge thought
Hubby No. 14 was the “perfect”
one.
That was a year ago.
Since then her' mind has chang

did not turn out to be the model
mate she first considered him.
So she has gone into the divorce
court again. And the judge has
granted her a decree.
But still her faith in man is not
shaken. Friends declare she has
confided she may marry again—if
the right fellow comes along.
And who knows but what she
may give Henry another chance!
She gave Hubby No. 11 three dif

forever.

DEER PLAY POSSUM • ‘
THEN TURNS TO HORSE
TAUNTON, Mass., Dec. s.
This is a hunting story, but Wal
ler Champney, who hunts lots
md seldom tells stories, swears
t’s true. To prove he has ex
jerienced something novel and
lerve-w acking Champney dis
plays numerous cuts and bruises
and still talks in a shaky voice.
Champney went hunting for
a deer, and #e hadn’t gone far
when one bounded right out in
front of him. Up went his gun,
and down went a buck.
It’s cold dead, thought
Champney.
So, knife in hand, he made his
way to Still animal, got astride
its neck and started to cut its
throat.
■ One swipe brougat unexpect
ed action. The deer arose, with
Champney on its back, and start
ed on its way. Through the
woods they went, while the
huntsman, v. ith one arm about
the animal’s neck, used his other
to hack its throat with a knife.
And finally he brought it down.
The buck Champney rode, 200
pounds of it, hangs in a provis
ion store here.
