"You can say that 1 am standing pat.” he said, with no little emphasis at his office, at No. 750 flushing ave nue. when asked whether he would con sent to a divorce or a legal separation. “What good would' it do if Mme.

It is for the reason that I love her dearly that 1 have her welfare so much at heart, that I shall never consent to her obtaining a divorce.” The Rappolds have <jbeen separated for some time, the husband explaining the rift by her lo\e for her art. which has crushed out her love for him.

As everything that glitters is not gold, also, on the saute principle, ev erything that looks like whisky is not whisky, as Policeman Barton today is frank to admit. Had the officer been willing to rest a prosecution merely on appearance, Will Hunter, a negro he had arrested for running a blind tiger, would have been convicted In police court. Know ing that appearances are oftentimes de ceptive. he refused to testify that the contents of a pint of whisky flask was whisky, despite the fact that the liquid had the exact color of old red eye and the bottle was sealed in regulation style. Attorney Leo Suddeth said his client. Hunter, was charged with sell ing whisky, and insisted that Barton testify positively as to the contents of the bottle. Recorder Broyles upheld the attor ney, and asked the policeman to exer cise his nostrils. The bottle was open ed. and the bluecoat took a whiff. "I’m not certain about it yet—l don’t think it’s whisky." came from the test er. "Then take a drink,” suggested the court. As the crowd in the courtroom tit tered. Barton raised the bottle to his lips. A look of surprise came over his face. "Water,” he exclaimed. “Colored water.” Attorney Suddeth smiled significant ly. “Case dismissed,” said the recordei', as he directed Recorder Pro Tern Pres, ton to call the "next.” COL.
