Heroic Remedy.

A contributor to Everybody’s Magazine tells how an irate woman cured her .husband of thp drink habit after he had spent money on ‘‘booze’* that she had meant to use for getting clothes for the children: “I jest let him go to bed, and after he’s been sleeping long enough to be pretty hear sober, I goes and sews him up In the bedclothes, takes the broomstick and pounds the devil out of *lm, and I’ve never had a day’s worry since.’’ After reading stories of wife-beating, there is a certain satisfaction in coming across the tale of a woman who turned the tables to good purpose and exorcised her husband’s “devil.”
