A Domestic Episode, y
When Mr. Eastwood arrived at ,he
dock this morning prior to the time for
the boat to pull oat, everything looked
serene. But later a medium-sized'
woman, with a look of determination on
her face, mixed with a John L. expres
sion, bought a ticket for Portland, and
then cast her lights on a lanky - farmer
from the country south of this place,
who, by tbe way, was her husband, and
said, with more' determination than
politeness, "I want those children!"
at the same time pointing to two little
standing by the side of
their paternal. He refnsed to Rive them
up, and in another instant there was an
indescribable' mix-np, as his "better'
ihalf" proceeded to forcibly take her off
sprig,' uttering in the meantime such
exclamations as "You can't have my
children !" "I'll break your nose !' '"I'll
scratch your eyes put!"
As the boat gave the final whistle be
fore starting, she stopped to take breath
and size np the results of the encounter.
One glance was sufficient, and when she
noticed that the blood was flowing free
ly from a' number of 'scars and scratches
on the husband's face, bnt that she was
anable to get possession of the children,
she proceeded up town to get the assist
ance of the authorities. We could
not find ont bow the matter was settled

In accordance with Pague's forecast a
slight fall of snow came' last night just
enough to cover the' ground and make it
look a little more like - Christmas. In
the appearance of things today we find
every indication that Christmas wilf "be
upon us before the - delightful jingle of
eleighbells reaches our ears, and it looks
as if even the elements were throwing
themselves into the spirit of "South Be
fore the war." Don't fail to see it at
the Vogt tonight.' ' -
