All that human foresight deemed necessary TO be

light in their nature straws kings have been de

through the quiet working OF men who posse,,r,,

within themselves just SO 1t was this morning.
What was intended for a grand tabeau was by
the wisdom and manliness Of n few made almost
farcical in its naturean that great boon which emI-

supplement- It's daily announcement OF deaths and
marriages with special heading giving the names
ol the divorced parties. Contemporary historians,
as somebody calls newspapers now state that no
edition OF a family Bible can be sold in Chicago and
other Western cities without separate record of
tnese important events The joys of married life do
not seem so sweet at the present quotations for
