Dave was goin' to have his wife apply fer another divorce an' leave the name blank, so's he could put in either husband ef it came to a pinch, but I coaxed him out of it.

He finally got rid of the feller by askin' him one day to sweep out the office.

He could eat all right, but it wasn't natural fer him to work, so he skipped out.

Next I heerd of him he had married a widder who was gittin' a pension because her first husband fit fer his country.

The Government shet off the pension jest as soon as she got married ag'in, and then that blamed cuss took in washin' fer her.
