Long-Suffering Couple.

The Monroe County Court has appointed a guardian for the estate of Isaac Brewer of Stroudsburg. This is the climax of a strange career. He and his wife, Alice, have had ups and downs with the most alarming frequency during the twenty-two years of their married life. In that time the wife has, it ; s asserted, deserted her husband forty-two time 3. Forty-one times Isaac was able to coax or hire his better half to return home; but the forty-second time she refused, and she is now living with her daughter. They would have a slight disagreement, and the wife would leave home. Perhaps she would be absent several days, and then Brewer w ould go in search of her. The twenty-third disappearance was caused by a custard pie, and it cost the husband S2OO in cash and the deed of a bouse to get bis wife back. It seems their tastes differed as to custard pie. the husbaud seeming to have peculiar ideas about its make-up. Now the wite says she cannot be hired to go back home, and a guardian has been appointed.
