A case which is of considerable i'm
portance from the fact that it is the first
of the kind ever brought in the State of
Washington has been opened in the su-
perior court OF Whitman county. It is
common law action brought by Mrs.
nj. G. CASTOR against Paul CASTOR for
separate maintenance without a plea for
divorce. About the middle of last month
Mrs. Castor, through her attorneys E.
7. Pickrell. F. L. Moore. and O'Dell &
Reid, filed plea setting forth that she
was without means Of support and pray
ing that the court compel her husband
to pay her 800 month and $500 for
attorneys fees. Mr.. CASTOR, through
his attorneys, Wilson & Ettinger, filed
demurrer to this plea, denying the
jurisdiction OF the court on the ground
that the statute of the State of Wash
ington provides that the remedy on such
cases shall be by divorce and alimonv
and therefore the common law action
cannot be brought. The demurrer will
be argued on the 10Th of this month.
The court has issued an order requiring
Mr.. CASTOR to pay over the sum of $3.50
for wife's attorney fees and cost of the
action by noon OF Oct. 18th or to show
cause for not SO doing Mr.. Gaston's

show cause for not paying over this
money but do not care to state what

Proper Bridal Etiquette.

There are many little things about
weddings that people inquire about.
The bride writes a personal note of
thanks for every gift received, whether
it be a great one or little one. and, if
she cannot do this before the ceremony,
she does it after the bridal trip In the
church the bridegroom's family and
friends sit at the right of the altar, being
on the bridegroom's right hand, while
those of the bride are placed on the left
at the brides left. The bridegroom does
not pay for anything connected with the
wedding unless he should choose to send
bouquets to the bridesmaids, and, OF
course, to the bride, and presents and
bOutonnieres to his best man and the
ushers. A widow removes her first wed
ding ring at her second marriage, and
does not assume it again. The engage
ment ring is taken from the third finger
of the left hand and worn afterward as
a guard to the wedding ring. 1t is not
considered good taste to cut the finger
out of the glove for assuming the ring.

An Audacious Journalist.

John Augustus O'Shea, the famous
war correspondent, has achieved record
both as a journalist and as candidate
for parliamentary honors. When on
the staff of a London newspaper he
once, at period of high pressure, owing
to the absence and illness of the mem
bers of the staff, accomplished the IN
paralleled feat of delivering himself of
1875 leaderettes in three weeks-all crisp,
bright and joyous. In gratitude the
proprietor of the newspaper, unasked,
raised OShea's honorarium by 100
gu1neas year at one bound
On the occasion of a vacancy in the
parliamentary representation of the Dor
ough of Ennis in Ireland, O'Shea pre-
sented himself to the constituents, and
in substance addressed them as follows:
81 have nothing to offer you, and /
promise you nothing Rest assured,
however, that if you confer on yonr-
selves the high honor of electing me
shall not forget you" The audacitS Of
his address lost him the seat.-Londop

A TEN-FOOT HEAD OF HAIR.
1t Belongs to . Delicate Little Texas

1t Belongs to . Delicate Little Texas
Woman Who Is Proud Of 1t.
The longest suit Of hair in the world
is perhaps that which grows on the
head of Miss Asenath Philpott, Of
Gainesville, Tex, hers trailing on the
ground when she stands nearly four
feet, and measuring in all ten feet and
seven inches. Miss Philpott is slight,
delicate woman, approaching middle
age and regards her magnificent tresses
as rather nuisance, complaining that
their weight actually drains her
strength.
The present growth, says the New
York Journal, is of the past seven
years, as in 1884 her head was shaved
during spell Of brain fever. It is nec-
essary to her health to cut out large
quantities Of hair every few months,
and this she has regular sale for from
some large wig mandatory in the east,
which pays her well for it, as it's fine
ness and silky gloss is exceptional, be-
sides being Of a much-admired red gold
tint.
Miss Philpott says she has been sew.
eral times approached by enterprising
proprietors of dime museums, who have
made her offers to travel with them as a
freak, and has also been requested to
act as agent for sundry hair tonics. She
claims that her family have for genera
tions been noted for the beauty and
length of their hirsute ornaments, her
grandfather having beard that fell to
his feet and being obliged to cut his hair
every day or two. Her mothers hair
was such that when she lay in her coffin
1t enwrapped her from head to foot and
was then obliged to be folded back sew
eral times.

the day lying in his stall and when the
latter has to be cleaned he is holped to

some time, two men walking by his

ACCUMULATED WEALTH.
Historical Incident in Which an Astor
Forgot His Honor.

Historical Incident in Which an Astor
Forgot His Honor.
If some men who have accumulated
great riches had been more scrupulous
and less selfish in the accumulation
there would be less prejudice among the
poor and the moderately we'll off against
the owners Of many millions, says a
writer in the NewYork Press. The Astor
wedding reminds the student of Ameri-
oan history Of the singular course taken
by the first American Astor at the time
Of the war of 1919. In his anxiety to pro-
tect his Canadian fur interests John
Jacob Astor, having procured the earli-
est news of the declaration Of war, sent
word by express messenger to his agent
or partner at Queenston, Can.
The messenger, as he dashed through
the villages and by the pioneer farms Of
western New York, never limited word
of the portentous secret that he bore
In his breast He crossed the Niagara
to Canada and there made known the
fact, q whisper Of which on the Ameri-
can side would have put the whole bor-
der ON guard. The Canadians, without
moments hesitation, organized an ex-
pedition and descended on the unsus-
pecting Americans. OF course Astor's
sole object was to save his furs.
It is well known that the fortune of
the Rothschilds, the great European
bankers, was swelled immensely by the
use Of early knowledge regarding the
result at Waterloo. Millions of hearts
would have been relieved by making
known that exclusive knowledge. but
wealth looked after its own interests,
without respect to patriotism or hu.
manity.
Such instances might be multiplied,
but these are among the most conspic-
uous. 1t is not strange, therefore, that
there is disposition on the part of the
people toward harsh criticism Of the
Hebrews who possess extraordinary
wealth, when wealth has been so often
Indifferent to the highest interests Of
the people.

THE OLDEST LIVING INDIAN.
Muddy Water, Who Fought with jackson
in the Seminole War.

Muddy Water, Who Fought with Jackson
in the Seminole War.
The oldest living Indian, perhaps, is
Muddy Water, a Seminole chief, residing
in the family of DR.. Hamilton, of Semi
mole agency, 1. T., who had just entered
his one hundredth and ninth year. He
has been blind for some years now and
unable to perform any work, except
that of making baskets, in which he is
an expert, producing some very pretty,
tasteful work. The old fellow is ex-
tremely garrulous, most unusual thing
for one of his race, and is very proud Of
his English, which is very good. Be-
sides his blindness he is also a great
sufferer with wound in his left leg,
which will eventually cause his death.
He claims to have received this wound
during the Seminole outbreak in 1918,
when he says he killed in one day eleven
white men with his own hands.
From what can be gathered, says tho
Philadelphia Times, from his reminis-
cences he was at this time thirty-two
years old. He has unbounded admira-
ton for Jackson, whom he describes as
one "Great man with eagles eye," and
says the general conversed with him
frequently after the war was over. He
further declares that after Topoheka
he never again raised his hand against a
white man. The Indians are very def
erential to the old chief, who bears
among them great reputation for wis
dom, and is always referred to by them
as the sold One."
One of them, himself man of fifty,
when questioned in regard to Muddy
Waters age, asserted that the old chief
had been an ancient man when he was
boy, sitting in the council, which was
privilege accorded only to those over
sixty years of age. Muddy Water is Of
rather low stature for an Indian, but
indications show that he must have
been of extraordinary strength in his
prime. He has q mortal hatred Of
women, suffering none of the squaws
about to approach him, but he is said to
have been married, and the father of
seven sons, all killed in wars with the
whites.
