Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A.. NYE
WHAT IS THE MATTER?
This is the story:
Henry Welnbaum of New York was
a clothes prouser earning $12 a week.
On this sum he supported himself, his
wife and four small children.
The wife died. '
W'einbaum was confronted with a
situation most heartbreaking. He must
care for the four motherless-children
and at the. same time be away from
his home and employed at his work,
else the children would have nothing
to eat -
Somehow for several mouths he man
aged to get along.
Then he did about the only thing he
could do under the circumstances. He
married again.
Unfortunately be made a poor choice
of a second wife. She complained that
the children made too much work and
demanded that they be put in a pub
lic Institution.
To save his little family from such
a fate was Weinbaum's purpose in get
ting his children their new mother.
He wanted to keep his little brood to
gether. Therefore he refused her re
quest She sued him for divorce. -
On just what grounds the divorce
was granted is not clear, but the judge
gave her a decree. As part of the judg
ment: Welnbaum was ordered to pay
the woman $4 per week alimony.
Of course the man could not pay
that sum and support his family. The
other day he was arrested, his arrears,
with costs,: amounting to $207.88.
In default of payment he was sent
to-Ludlow street Jail.
Now ..
Wife No. 2 is free from the care of
the troublesome children. Welnbaum
is in jail with no prospect of release
and the children are wards of charity.
Even the Jailer remarked when
Welnbaum was committed Jailers are
hot particularly free with sympathy
that "there must be something the mat
ter .with the law somehow."
And there la something the matter
with the law. But what?
, The law is out of gear.
And yet it is difficult to find the cog
and adjust it . , .
Welnbaum is guilty of nothing but
the best intentions and yet be is in
Jail. i
' What is the matter with the law?
Or is it merely that Welnbaum is poor?
WEATHER MAKES EGG
The market is but little changed
from its condition of a week ago. The
greatest fluctuation is in the egg mar
ket which seems to be uncertain due,
largely to the bad weather. Butter
is steady as are potatoes and onions.
The failure of the California orange
crops has caused a rise in the price
of that fruit and has also made a
much better price for apples.
