Sad as most divorce trials usually are,
there Is now and then a case which has
its laughable side. This enc for inst

Attorneys Van Buren, and Walker

court one morning that provoked a good
deal OF laughter. IN which Judge Tuley

Mr.. Van Buren, represented Mrs. Scioto
Carroll, who was divorc ed from George

bill charging cruelty. The case came
up again this morning on a motion Of
Mrs. Carrolrs attorney for alimony. In
his argument Mr.. Van Blren grew sar-

wife any money. but continually at

children by urging that the Lord would
provide. One day, after having brought
nothing home 10 the family larder for a

down a dime, said: There. my dear,
told YOU the Lord would provide
A lew minutes later Mrs. Carroll
sister came IN with basket Of provi-

that she be given sufficient sum per

The protest against the attitude of rho
Democratic party Of Wisconsin toward the
Bennett law, which was started some time
by few prominent members of the party is
growing. Over thousand Democrats have
so far attached their names to the pro-
test, and there are more coming. These pro-
testing Democrats propose to vote against
Peck, the candidate of their party for Gov
ernor, but to support the Democratic con-
gressional candidates. They have issued an
address to the people endorsing the Bennett
law and answering the objections made by
its opponents. The address points out that
the law does not seek to abolish the paro-
chial schools Parents have just as much
liberty as before the law was passed to send
their children to those schools. The law
simply requires that the child shall have
some instruction in the English language
III the parochial school will not give such
instruction, then the child must attend a
certain portion of the year a school that does
give IT, BY compliance with very reason
