PAWNS HIS WIFE FOR $34;
LIVELY FIGHT TO REDEEM HER
Court Settles Dispute and Husband
Pays $41
NEW ORLEANS. May 19. In January,
Snuiglo Gates, then Jobless, faced tougli
times and an unpaid board bill for himself
and wife nt C. E. Brown's, 1502 Bienville
street.
Everything of value tho couple possessed
had falind Its way Into tho pawnshops, but
still f'ii was due Brown, who was grow
lng irate Gates figured that he had one
moro possession that he could pawn. It
was his wife.
Would Brown talte Mrs. Gates and hold
her as security for the- uncollected ac
count? Sure! In fact, ho beamed upon
Gates' proposal. The pawn ticket was
duly made out, tho wife delivered to the
landlord nnd Gates set out with high re
solves. Tho husband had enough money yester
day to got his wife out of pawn. Brown
asked for tho return of the pawn ticket
before delivering his security. Gates
couldn't find It. Thereupon an argument
ensued over the question of principal and
Intorest, and the two men fought whllo
the woman sat on her trunk, not knowing
whether ahe was liberated or still a hostage.
Judge b. Chamberlntn settled tho argu
ment. Ho allowed Brown $41 and Gates to
receive back his pledge. Then the Judgo
fined the men $15 each and an equal share
of tho court C03ts for disturbing the peace.

TO BE SHABBILY DRESSED IS A BAD BUSINESS POLICY FOR WHICH HARDLY ANY
MAN CAN HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE WHILE SUCH FINE SUITS AS THESE ARE SELL
ING AT SO LOW A PRICE.
Every one of these garments is slriclly hand tailored. Most of them are in
nobby, pinch-bacl or one-or-ttvo-builon coat effects. They reveal the acme of
style in their clean-cut lines, and the richness of the fast color all-wool suitings,
including serges, cheviots, pencil and chalk stripes.
