TIRED OF THE YOKE
Baroness De Stures Applies
for a Divorce.
A FORMER NEW YORK BELLE
Che Alleges Extreme Cruelty on the Part
of Her Husband.

The Baron, Who Ii Belgian Minister In
Control His Wife's Estate-TrIed to Shut
Her Up in an Insane Asylum-The
Baroness Stole Away from Home at
Midnight--She Was a Niece of John
Jacob Astor.
NEW York, Sep. 29.-Baroness De
Stures, wife of the Belgian Minister in
Paris, yesterday fled papers in suit for
divorce against her husband, at Sioux
Falls, S. D. The papers were served on
the Baron in Paris on Saturday and he
has cabled instructions to an attorney to
make an appearance and defence.
The complaint recites that the Baron
and Baroness were m arried in New York,
May 20, 1875, and that ever since their
marriage the Baron has pursued q course
of extreme cruelty toward the plaintiff
While in Paris she says that the Baron
applied foul epithets and accused his
wife of not being chaste; that on June "a,
1890, defendant by fraud and false repre-
sentation attempted to procure her in
generation in an institution for the con-
finement of insane persons.
This last fact will be decided in the
trial. 1t is maintained that the Baron
was anxious to secure control of his
wife's estate, the annual income of
which is estimated at $50, and to do
this it was necessary to prove she was
insane.
To escape the evil schemes of her hus-
band the Baroness left the home of her
husband in Paris at midnight and took
the train for Germany. Then she came
to America, where she was advised by
70 ration
Before her marriage the Baroness was
a Miss Carey, niece of John Jacob Aston,
and her marriage was a ociety sensa-
ton in New York.

MILLIONS OF MILES LONG.


fIessant Talk About Comets and Their
Streaming Tails.
1t Is a wonderful sight TO see a
woman OF average height with hair so
long that IL reaches 70 her feet; but
what would you think OF hair switch
two hundred million miles long?
Those erratic celestial adventures
called comets are so named because
the ancients thought they rcsembled
the flowing hair OF a woman. These
switches In the sky have been seen
one hundred degrees long. which Is
more than the distance from zenith TO
the horizon.
In the olden time the appearance OF
comet was a dreadful event The
strange visitant struck terror 10 the
hearts OF ignorant and superstltious
people because IL was thought to be n
sign OF the wrath OF Jehovah and that
IL presaged war. pestilence or famine.
II was also thing OF dread because
OF fear that IL might run into the
earth and knock all things terrestrial
into smithereens. But thanks 10 sci
cntific research, In these latter days We
know that the flaming comet Is ms
harmless as n snow fake.
The constituents OF comet are
practically the same as are found In
all the nebulous matter In space. In
fact IL Is not far out OF the way TO say
that comets are simply masses OF ncbu-
lac moving In orbits around our sun.
and IL Is quite probable that the other
millions OF suns or stars are similarly
visited by the strange spectres.
The fact that stars can be seen
through nucleus or head OF a comet
clearly demonstrates that IL Is not a
solid body. 1t is thought by astrono-
mers that the mass OF comet Is so
light that its weight Is far less than
that OF the earth's atmosphere. 1t is
probable that the extreme tenuity OF
comets accounts for the eccentricity OF
their orbits. They don't pass around
the sun at a nearly uniform distance
from 1t, but they often approach very
near in rounding our great luminary
and then rush away into space so far
that some do not return ia hundreds
and even thousands OF years.
In the year 1913 n comet visited the
solar system sporting tail two hun
dred million miles long. 1t was head
ing straight for the sun and astrono-
mers with bcating proclivitIes were
willing TO wager that the pretentious
visitor would at least pass near enough
TO old Sol 10 get It's tail scorched. 1t
got uncomfortably near the sun, but it
merely whisked its wealth OF tail
and sailed around at the rate OF more
than million and a quarter miles an
hour. passing from one side OF the sun
TO the other in about two hours This
is one record, made in the days OF our
fathers. that hasn't been beaten ia our
fast going generation.

There's a good deal Of
guarantee business in the store
keeping of to-day. It's too
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth
ing. Words miy avo1dS.
This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. OF course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works-not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back Of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year with
out it.
What is lacking is conf
dence. Back of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the average
practice"
DIR. Pierce's medicines are
guaranteed to accomplish what
they are intended to do, and
their makers give the money
back if the result isn't APP
parent.
Doesn't it strike you that
a medicine which the makers
have so much confidence in,
is the medicine for your
