Persfass Divorce Laws.


 In Persia, as in Turkey, if husband wishes a divorce from his wife all he has to do is to order her out of the house. As check upon the too free use of this arbitrary proceeding, however. the Persians have constituted very curious and ingenious custom. While the Mohammedan laws make it so easy for hus- band to put away his wife, it secures to her all her own property. Under no con- sideration can the husband deprive the wife of her own property. As precaution against divorce, then, the husband in the marriage contract is usually required to promise considerable sum of money as a wedding gift to his bride. This money is not forthcoming at the wedding nor expected, but it is placed to the wife's credit as a debt owed to her by the husband As in case of divorce this money would have to be paid over, the amount is usually made so large that it is virtually beyond the husbands means. In that case divorce to him would mean financial ruin; and as a Persian's pocket is the most susceptible part about him, it follows that there is no divorce. Owing to this ingenious arrangement, although mere angry order to begone is a legal divorce, there are fewer divorces in Persia than in the United States.-Thomas Stevens in New York Sun.

HOUGH PULLS OUT ALL RIGHT.
He Gives Chatfie1d Camp His Note and
 they Let Him Go.


 William E. Hough, the alleged embez- zler of funds of the Chatfeld Camp, Sons of Veterans, whose case Judge Carpenter threw out of court yesterday on denur- mur made by Attorney Root that thecamp was not an incorporation, was before Judge Bradstreet in the police court this morning, having been arrested on charge of embedding money from members of the camp. Attorney Root entered demurrer to the charge again this morning on the ground that the prisoner was an agent for the compliments and an agent for himself. The court was in doubt on the question and wanted time to consider the matter This did not suit MT Root, who proposed to have Hough bound over. He said in that case he could get a bench warrant issued and have him brought before the present term, and this course was finally taken Attorney Root, shortly before the recess of the superior court, applied to Assistant State Attorney Terry for warrant when it was learned that the camp had consented to let the matter drop if Hough would give his note for $75. This Hough agreed to do.

An Overlooked Protector.

It is pleasant thing to know, now that we are beginning to realize that so many of our diseases are functional disturbances caused by bacteria taking up their abode in US, that bacteria have difficulties between themselves and treat each other unkindly. Thus the bacillus fluoresoens putridus is an implacable enemy of the bacilli of pneumonia and typhoid. If it is present these noxious bacill are unable to get hold on our nutri- tive membranes How often we may owe our lives to this hitherto overlooked little protector we can never know. All hail, then, to our friend, the bacillus fuorescens putri- dus-Philadelphia Times.

A Tomb and "Rolling stone."

From Mount Calvary it is but short ride to the rock hewn sepulchers known as the "Tombs of the Kings" The entrance to one of these subterranean villages of the dead is closed by trolling stone"-a rudely cut disk. perhaps yard in diameter, standing on edge in an inclined groove which runs, deep cut, from one side of the doorway to the other. When the tombs are open, the stone is rolled to the left, and small wedge is placed under it to keep it from returning. When the wedge is removed, the rolling stone immediately follows the incline to the right until it reaches slightly deeper de- pression, into which it rolls; thus it closes the entrance of the tomb. Considerable strength is required to displace it.-Edward l.. Wilson in The Century.

GENERAL SHERIDAN DEAD.

The life battles of the great general
are over. Death, the relentless foe,
gained victory over one whom awhole
nation mourns. His death occurred at
1920 p. M, August 5th, at Nonquitt,
Mass, where he had been removed in
the hope that the change would prove
beneficial. The attack of heart disease
came on rapidly, his brothers having
bid him good night at 8 O'Clock, and
suspecting no serious trouble for the
night. The General was conscious al
most to the last moment.

OUR friends, the republicans, of this
county, are having built log cabin,
for campaign purposes. They will
load it on a wagon, tack coon-skin on
the roof, set an empty cider key long
side the door, put bottles of the pro
hibited' in their pockets, and drive
over the county, expecting thereby to
make the farmers of Barton county be-
lieve it to the interest of the country to
vote upon themselves more taxes, more
debt, more monopolies and more of
such misgovernment as the republican
party gave us for twenty odd years.
All this Tomfoolery will cost money, it
is the way the campaign is to be con-
ducted-on the republican side-and
someone is putting up this money. Is
it the working men, the farmers, the
mechanics? Beware Of all such show
and buster. Will you walk into my
