TnE Chicago Herald has dIscov-
cred that under its charter the Pull
man company has no right to own
large tracts of land not necessary for
the successful prosecution OF its bus
mess. has no right TO take up lands
and improve them, lay out streets
and parks. build hotels, churches and
schoolhouses and build houses TO sell
or rent. IL claims that the charter
does not give the company the right
To act rs an Incorporated landlord.
For these reasons it demands that
quo warranto proceedings be insti-
tuted against the Pullman company
to make il show where it acquired
the right TO do things not permitted
under its charter. No doubt the
company is acting beyond its rights.
But will proceedings be instituted
against it? The quickest and best
way to put quictus on the unrest
in the ranks of labor in this country
is bring Pullman to time.

amended.
Don't go TO bed with cold feet I'M

taken inwardlv.
Don't lie on the left side too
much-lie on the right side all you
can, as it pays better.
Don't jump out of bed Immediately

advice is unnecessary. No sane man
ever did it,
Don't forget to take a drink of
pure water before breakfast-it set

and besides makes one appear like
temperance advocate.
Don't take long walks on an empty
stomach. If you want to walk on
one. as ii is softer travelling. A
stomach is not very good place for
a long walk anyway.
Don't start to do DAYS work with
out eating good breakfast-if you
haven't Il good breakfast don't COM
mence work until after dinner.
Don't eat between meals-if YOU
get hungry have the meals oftener or
whenever you get hungry.
Don't inhale hot air-when the
mercury gets up in the nineties keep
pour nose over 4 mint julep or some
| thing else that is cool.
Don't make a practice of relating
scandal calculated to depress the
spirits OF the sick-only tell that
kind OF scandal which will raise a
| laugh.
Don't forget to cheer and gently
amuse invalids when visiting them
tickle them under the nose with a
feather, dance a JIG. sing comic
song. or do something that is light
and convivial.
Don't talk your sick friend to death
it will interfere with the preroga-

Don't worry yourself about other

MUST PAY $40 OUT OF s12.
Only $2a Week Loft for Woodcock
to Support His Present Wife.
His Application TO Have the Amount
OF Alimony Reduced Is Denied.

A motion was made before Judge
Beach in Supreme Court Chambers to.
day by counsel for William Henry
Woodcock, a druggist at AZ Clinton place
for an order Of the Court reducing the
amount of alimony he Is to pay his
divorced wife. Charlotte st. Leger Wood
cock. The amount Is $40 week.
Counsel for Mrs. Woodcock not only
opposed the motion. but asked the Court
to punish Woodcock for contempt for
having failed to pay the alimony.
The couple were married in England
several years ago. In 1888 Mrs. Wood
cock secured a divorce.
short time after the decree of divorce
was granted MIR. Woodcock married q
second time and now has four children
His counsel contended that his income
from his drug business was but $l2 a
week. and therefore he could not sup
port his present wife and four children
and pay his former wife $40 a week.
Mrs. Woodcock's counsel told the
Court that the money with which Mr..
Woodcock started in the drug business
he secured from his first wife.
Judge Beach denied the motion for the
reduction of the al!mony and ordered
MT. Woodcock to pay the alimony due
within the next twenty days.
