In Central Michigan a man deeded his property to his wife and issued bills of sale for personal goods as he acquired them.

In Drake's Magazine style a comic scene shows Mr Spoopendyke and his wife playing poker with checkers, jokers, and misdealings that end in a humbling realization for the wife.
