A RENSSELAER AFFINITY

Had Monticello Man, But Wifey Gets Wise and Informs the Injured Husband. A Monticello lady was in Rensselaer Thursday looking after a little matter in which her husband, , who is a solicitor for the Prudential Insurance Co., she had discovered through letters she had seen, had an affinity in this city. , The -insurance man is the father of three young children and his wife is a nice looking, buxom young woman, while the Rensselaer woman is skinny arid red-headed. The injured wife put the husband of the Rensselaer woman wise to what she had learned, and Saturday when the Monticello man appeared in > town the injured husband took him to task and he admitted, it is said, that his relations with the woman had not been entirely proper. The i. h. took the man in tow and started to his home to have him confront the woman in the case, but on the way there the insurance man broke away and secured a rig and was driven out of town.

Monday the injured wife was here again from Monticello, and she seemed to think her husband was not entirely to blame for falling to the blandishments of the Rensselaer female with the auburn head-dress, he “being a mere man.” According to his story to her he was at the house of the Rensselaer woman some tin\e ago collecting an insurance installment, and while he was at the table writing out the receipt the woman threw her arms about his neck and hugged and kissed him. Well, like most Monticello men, he couldn’t stand for that, and he fell frotn grace. Probably the divorce courts will be called to the aid of the injured parties'. . v
