TOOK HIS WIFE’S TEETH

Loss of the Masticators Causes the Woman to Wreak Ravenge on Her Husband. Phlllipsburg, N. J.—Convinced that If he could rob his wife of her beauty she would not leave him, John Vanner watched bis opportunity and stole her false teeth. He went to his work at the silk factory believing that she would remain in seclusion. He was mistaken, however, for Bhe proceeded to the factory door, called out her husband and, when he appeared, gave him a. sound beating. Mrs. Banner got the teeth and went to the office of Mayor Firth, where she got a warrant for tbe arrest of her husband for the theft. The mayor did not punish him further than to express satisfaction that Mrs. Banner had already administered a fair share of chastisement and to add a little rebuke.
