Generally. I have an acquaintance
who came dowa crying: Now, Murphy,
marry me; here is my decrea.' The ink
was still ws.. Before it dried he was
married.
do many divorced people come here to
be rsmarrieo?'
81 don't think they do. I fancy the
majority go to Racine. In Wisconsin nc
licenses are required"
Look over the marriage register" said
Mr.. SAlmonson, "and you will find many
people of tie. same name. Thus:
July 2l-Blum, Ernest. Blum, Anna.
august 14-Lsa, Henry. Lea, Kate.
September 2-Jurgenssn, Frank. Jur-
gensen, Mary"
what does that mean?'
They are divorced people who have
made up .heir quarrel and married again.
How do you knoN?"
They get confidential at tho window.
While am making ont the license the
bride tells me how the bridegroom used to
drink, and she had to get divorced. As be
has now promised to reform, she means TO
give him another trial"
"Aud if he fails to keep his word ?'
1--WE may expect TO zee them back
again"
Can You keep track of thsm?"
mo They may return under other
ramss. Ths woman is likely to give her
maiden name"
Then who would know most about the
sftsr-life of the divorced ?"
LOVES DIVINE STORIES.
''The Lawyers vino have their casee."
"If You won't mix up my name with
spy divorce busiuess," said noted men,
Der of The bar, II will tell you two stories
which show what becomes of divorced
women. There was an old -four merchant
in this city. He had buxom young Ger
man wife, o mighty buxom young wife
She fell in love with bis bookkeeper. The
-four merchant got pistol and threatened
to kill the bookkeeper. Unfortunately the
bullet entered his own head He lay
~ Deaths door. When he grew
conyale-c.nt his wife came to him,
confessed her love for the b0oS-keepsr, and
proposed that che and her husband should
lump OF the roof together. He actually
vent % the roof and WIS on the point OF
iamping off when he thought better of
the matter and brought suit for divorce
instead"
"whst became OF the wife,"
she instantly married the book-keeper,
and is ont in Dakota to-day"
And of the husband?"
HE married again two years ago-s
charming young WIFE,"
what is the other storyP"
There was o woman, al exceptionally
fine woman physically, who came here from
Racine and got four divorces through one
lawyer. This lawyer used to say that he
charged her Wholesale rates after the first.
She was not amodel Of propriety when she
began to get married. Her first husband
was clerk, and che charged him with In
fidelity. Her second husband was trav-
cling man; she charged him with cruelty.
Her third vas clerk; she charged him
with desertiou. Her fourth was hotel
clerk; 1 forget what che charghed him
with"
"And the ffthp"
"Was heavy specuistor, worth $500,
900. she is with him still, and seems
perfectly happy"
"In sll my experience" said Mr.. George
W. Brandt, II remember nothing more
curious than the Taylor case. Here there
was such haste to marry again thst the
husband actually cheated the wife.
"Howw
"He called on her with q paper, and
giving her pen said: Here, dear, sign
this. 1t ia the document l told you
shout What document?' said she,
'Your promise to relinquish any claim on
the 81, 900 which my father consents to
give me She signed it. Her husband
went quickly away. Aud what do You
suppose that paper WASP 1t was power
of attorney to procure divorce"
"And the husband married again ?"
"Yes; armed with this fraudulent docu-
ment no obtained secret divorce. We
cannot said the Court in its decision,
bring ourselves to believe that his wife
knew of the divorce proceedings or of the
divorce itself. Ga the contrary, We be-
lisvs that che WAS deceived and lived on
month after month with her husband al
most no to the day when he married Flor
eace White, lulled iuto security BY the
course and conduct Of her husband, and that
she had no idea but that abe was his wife.
So his second marriage was set aside"
"What became Of him?'
He disappeared with the second wife. !"
"And the first wite?'
Built up a prosperous business. She
Is an estimable and charming woman"
Mr.. Perkins, clerk in Judge Collins
court, was gay with red polka-dot tie
and q rose in his buttonhole. He has
made close study of the divorce cases
which come every Saturday under his OFF,
cisl eye.
AS 3 rule" he says "the man who is
rciog to be the hero of the second mao
rage sits at TIE back and watches the PR
cesdlnss. We always know him. He has

him unuiStaksbly.

Mr.. F. H Trude enjoys the distinction
among his friends that Fred has all th'
feminine trade of Chicago" As an author
lev on the remsrrisgs of divorced womer
he is therefore unequsled.
Said he: Ninety per cent. Of them re
marry. Icould take down my books ano
show case after case Of immediate remsr'
risge."
So ran the evidence of all experts on thu
subject. The reason that divorced women
are rare is because second marriage
speedily covers all traces of their divorce
