The Gate City of the South has scores of examples of Dr. Wiley’s 60-year-old type men who are doing their best work, not only for their city and their government, but for themselves In fact.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY A dispatch from Cincinnati reports that Mrs. Zella Cunningham got a divorce because her husband fed all the fresh eggs to his mother. Did you ever want a real fresh ('gg' Did your palate ever crave one so that you would forsake everything for the taste of it? “Yes?" Well, then, you can fully appreciate the feelings of Mrs. Zella Uuning- ham, a Cincinnati woman who was granted a divorce from her husband, a wealthy merchant of the Ohio city, to-day. You can also appreciate the feelings of the judge—if you are a man—who severed the matrimonial knot. It appears that Mrs. Cunningham had a rare brood of hens, said hen- producing several of the freshest of eggs each day. But—and would you believe it!—Mrs. Cunningham never had an opportunity of sampling any one of those eggs. , “Not a one," she told Judge War ner Instead of feeding his devoted wife —the leal owner of the chickens—on the fresh eggs, Cunningham gave them to his mother. When the Judge heard this—being a fancier of fresh eggs himself—he hesitated not a moment in granting the wife her plea. Though Judge Warner did not mention the fact—this is- the latest angle ever that has been placed on tiie mother-in-law .joke of ancient history.
