5s SPANKED BY HIS WIZ r..


He Couldn't Wear His Pants and Now
Gets Is Divorce.
Because his wife sent him to scho
spanked him when he was bad and
locked him in the attic when she wanted
to go out. William Bee1el, of East
Providence, r, l.. appeared in court
as petitioner for a divorce. His story
was singular one, and his wife, Mrs.
Mary Beeler, foun ced out Of the court
room before it was half DONE He is
now but 10. and was led to the altar
when but Is, his wife being but %.
From his testimony it appears that
she possessed the master mind Of the
two and at once undertook the direc-
ton of the household. After they had
been married three months she insisted
upon sending him to school, that he
might become more Of a scholar than
he was. He refused to go and was SCI
verely whipped for his disobedience.
She was much the stronger OF the two,
and he had to do as she said.
A few months ago he became rebell-
ious and unruly, and Mrs. Beeler had
recourse to imprisonment, and fire.
quently locked him up in the attic
chamber, to the solitary occupancy of
which she condemned him before the
honeymoon was over. One day he let
himself down with ropes made from the
bed clothing. and when he sought his
wife he found she had gone off to Prov
idence to enjoy life. Wrought up to
the point of desperation. he followed
her and found her at a questionable
place sitting on the lap OF strange
man, smoking cigarette and drinking
champagne.
His wife, who had exacted the most
correct conduct on his part, even to
the extent of the book he should read,
ordered him home and threatened to
spank him as soon as she got home.
But she did not thrash him, as he sup
posed she would. Instead, she told
him that henceforth she intended to
follow her own course of living, and
that he might do the same. Since
that time they have not lived together.
The divorce was granted.

Catholic Uhapla,ns.

Nearly or quite half Of the soldiers in
the United States army are Catholics.
But there are TWENTY-FIVE Protestant to
three Catholic chaplains. Between
now and MAY l, probably six new
chaplains will be appointed. It will be
interesting to note what proportion of
these will be Catholic. Certain sua-
gestions of General Schofeld are in
order and might well be considered by
the authorities. He would allow the
soldiers to attend the churches Of their
denominations nearest to their post,
and apportion the money now paid to
purely ornamental officers to the con-
,gregations attended by the men. By
this means the conscientious rights of
all would be secured. While on duty

The newspaper has become the legit-
innate inherjtoI of the patronage of adj
vertisers. 1t offers advantages that no
other medium possesses, and besides, it
costs less than most others 1t cannot
be assumed that the advertising pages
of paper are SO carefully read as the
news portion, but it mas gradually ed
ucated the reader to look for what he or
she wants in the advertising columns,
and those who read the paper quietly
at home are far more inclined to go over
their wants and look where Is supply
them, than the man who is probably
thinking more of selling his own goods
than of buying his neighbours. Then
the scope of this method Of advertising
is almost endless. 1t takesin a business
card or the two line notice, or it may
cover an entire page, and there is a
chance for literary display. There are
.sorne business houses in the east to nv
personal knowledge who employ a gen
tleman Of education ard skill in literary
matters to superintend this department
of their business, and it is wonderful
how much he can find TO say on what
would seem to be a hackneyed subject
ln.e ed. the art OF advertising is to be
always fresh and new, to be short. vet
clear and concise, to be humorous when
hunnol will tell, but to be PLAIN and d y
rect. The nearer an advertisement
Eharmonizes with the general drift Of the
paper the more likely it will be read
and make an impression. ssss III rs n. .,s

The Origin of Slang +.

The Englishman may sneer to his
hearts content, but the wide awake
American will continue to use slang
until the cows come home. A slang
phrase will frequently save the uttt>-
ence of tiftv words, and as the average
American is hustler and hasn't much
time in which to monkey around, every :
thing goes and slang holds it's grip. 1t
would be hard to trace the origin of
many of our slang expressions, but it is
pretty safe to say that the majority
found birth on the stage, which Is the
hotbed of slang. An actor, usually the
comedian, Inadvertently says something
which strikes the audience as being par.
ticularlY happy; a roar of laughter goes
up and the phrase IS banded about
from lip to lip until it becomes coin of
communication. Incidentally, there are
no flies on the st. Paul and Duluth
Railroad. Seriously, it is in truth the
Duluth Short Line. and offers the best
of accommodations for travel between
Duluth, West Superior, Saltwater and
the Twin Cities. and affords close con-
nections with other lines. For Informs

handiwork of some great master of
sculpture. The IT, o hands were clasped
about an ivory crucifix. which hung
from a rosary suspended about the neck,
while the head of an arrow still pro-
truding from the breast told the story
OF how the worthy Father met his
death; and the fact, so plain to be seen,
that the body was hastily buried with
out coffin, and the grave unmarked bv
the smallest token showed that he and
his brethren or some faithful friend
were fleeing from the Indians when he
was killed. The petrlfied body was re-
moved to the church of the Annuncia-

from ali over the country, after which
IL was given Christian burial in conse-
Grated ground by the resident priest.

1t is said that the opprohrious epithet,
tuIDcoat, took its rise from one of the first
dukes of Savoy, whose dominionS were
open to the contending powers of both
Spain and Franco. Being subjected to fire.
quent incursiops of the rival powers, he
was obliged to tcmpotizc and favor the
powers alternately, as they seemed TO be
able or not TO injure him. In order co carry
out this arrangement to perfection be had
a coat made that was blue on one side and
white on the other, so that it could be worn
indiiferently with either side out. When
he was ostensibky on the side of Spain he
wore the blue side out; whes the French
were to he propitiated he displayed the
white side. He therefore became widely
known as Emmanuel the Turncoat, and
was thus distinguished from other princes
of his house bearing the same name. Since
the time OF Emmanuel the epithet has been
applied to those who turn their opinions

interests, Louis Republic,
