WHERE DIVORCE IS EASY.
Five Grounds For Suit aud the Utmost
Secrecy Assured.

Although there are on an average
about 800 divorces granted in Phladel-
phia county each year, and there are
not less than five reasons on which di-
Vorce can be obtained in the state of
Pennsylvania, there are many residents
OF the Keystone state, and some few
Philadelphians. who have gone to other
jurisdictions in order to obtain n separ-
alton (Which is not always recognized
here from their better or worse halves,
as the case may be. Fully that num-
Der of divorces are granted by the COM
mon pleas courts Of this city every year.
hut the number of suits of this charac-
ter which are commenced during every
twelvemonth more than treble it,
Why "a man, or woman, either. who
has been married in Pennsylvania, or
has even lived here in the married state
should go west TO some of the now no.
torious communities where divorces are
practically ground out to order for the
purpose Of securing what he fondly
imagines Is legal divorce Is almost
beyond understanding. Here are five
cases, upon the proof of any of which
he or she can get a divorce. New
Jersey Is practically the only state in
which so great latitude In matters Of
this kind is allowed. South Carolina
has no divorce law, and such "a thing
as legal separation OF man from wifi.
is Iinheard Of within her borders New
York comes next best. There an abso-
lutte divorce can only be obtained upon
the statutory grounds. unfaithfulness
to the marriage tie. but a limited di-
vOrce, with alimony, can be secured
upon proper proof of several causes of
complaint.
Divorce. Getting Ont West.
Out west things change considerably.
IL is true that In most of the western
states there are only three causes on
which u divorce can be obtaised, but
the laws from the standpoint of prom
inent attorney are so lax that q man or
woman. by the exercise of the least bit
Of fraud, can obtain what they desire
in from one-eighth to one-qnarter Of
the time required in this state. provided
they are plloted by a lawyer who knows
how TO 20 about case when he Is well
paid.
In Pennsylvania the causes on which
n divorce can be obtained are "cruel
and barbaro,rs treatment" "desertion"
for two years. giving either party the
right TO begin suit after six months
desertion. although no decree will be
made until two years have elapsed:
"unfaithfulness," ''duress and fraud
and "felony," where either party has
been convicted OF crime and has been
in prison for two years or more. New
Jersey allows a divorce upon proof Of
any Of the same causes, but the ap-
pllcant for the separation must first be
a resident OF the state for at least one
year.
In Pennsylvania every paper in d.
vorce case ,is jealousy guarded and
practically impounded, thus securing to
the parties Interested almost absolute
secrecy. "A1lthe general public usually
hears" said a lawyer, "is the announce
ment that n decree has been granted.
and all the facts which would make
morsels of gossip are suppressed"

Contrary to previous announcement

afternoon. This decision was not
reached until yesterday and was caused
through a misunderstanding as to the
rental of the t,heater The meeting was
to have been conducted by Mr.. Schive-
rea and A. L. Massey. a reclaimed trav-
cling salesman. MIR. Massey up to a
short time ago was one of the hale soir-
its of the road-and drumming Is his
present Occupation-but he has put
aside the temptations incident to his
business and now labors In the reh-
gious field whenever an opportunity Of
fers. He participated in the Open-air
meeting on Franklin avenue Thursday
night and then said he had n Jolly old
time" on the road before he reformed.
but he was never happy" He re-
marked that Happiness is the best test
of Il mans spiritual woll-being."

Another Story About That Name.

Ruth is directly responsible, so The Globe learns from reliable authority, for the name which her little sister now bears It was Ruth and no one else who named the third child of the Cleye- land family. Three names were pre- sented to Ruth on the day decided upon to name the child, and Ruth was then asked by her mamma what name she wished to have her little sister bear. The names Mary, Marion and Martha were presented to Ruth, and without the least hesitancy she chose Marion, and thus it is that the baby was so named. Boston Globe.

A Piece of Mothers Cake.

She was charming little wife
 And tried to do her part To make her home with pleasure rife And glad her husbands heart. But often when she'd do her best To something charming bake He'd sigh and say how much he'd like A piece of motl.er's cake. She wept; she almost went insane, For, do the best she might, He'd speak the very trying words That robbed her of delight. She knew her cooking was superb, And yet her heart would break To know that still he sighed to have A piece of mothers cake. What could she do? At last she sent And bade his mother come And bake cake. Twas fearful stuff, But she-ah, she kept "mum. /" He ate little piece and died,
 His wife's fond heart to break. The doctors said twas suicide
 From eating mothers cake. Down where the grasses gently wave The quiet mounds among You'll find the cold and silent grave Of him who died so young. Go there, you husbands who complain, And solemn warning take From him who was so justly slain By eating mothers cake. Nixon Waterman in L. A. w. Bulletin.

The whole process of taking the picture, de- veloping the negative and printing the portrait on q portion of the ticket can be done, he says, while the purchaser is paying for his ticket, or in one minute at the longest.

 A Boy Lassos & Puma.

A 15-year-old boy named Juan Ro- nero, at the Blythe ranch, on the Col orado river, lassoed and captured 8 mountain lion. He was out with his lariat looking for horse, when noun tain lion attacked his dog. He had no weapon but the rope, and throwing it lassoed the lion around the neck. Haul ing 1t tight, it began to choke the in- furiated animal, which began to jump and struggle to get away, the boy all the time hauling with all his might on the lariat. In one of the wild plunges made by the lion he jumped into the air, coming down behind stout mes- quite bush, but not low enough so that he could touch the ground. The boy held on his end, with the lion suspend ed in the air, until the fierce brute was dead, having hanged himself. The boy took off the skin, which measures 9 feet from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail. St. Louis Globe-Democrat

THREE BOYS AID A FISH.
But 1t Was DeviIflsh and Caused Lots
 of Ccrninotion


 H. G. Guild of Sheridan, Or, was in Portland recently and narrated a story which has been almost the sole topic of conversation in Sheridan for several days past. He said:
 "On Thursday Frank Wileheart, Burt Ray and John Krebs launched their rowboat just south of Sand cape and went out about two miles from shore to try deep sea fishing. The sea was as smooth as glass, and the boys succeeded i'll catching a number of codtish, rock cod, goabers, kelp and sea bass, when suddenly Ray pulled hideous looking monster to the top of the water, which proved to be huge cuttlefsh. Then began battle. The cuttlefsh fastened its long arms to the bottom of the skiff, and the boys in their efforts to pull it loose nearly upset the boat several times. By degrees the monster was shaken from it's hold on the bottom of the sliff, and then it began to feel for the occupants of the boat, its beady little eyes snap ping with rage, giving it vicious ap- pearance One of the boys wanted to let it go, but 1t kept climbing into the boat and reached for the fishermen, when Frank Wileheart, realizing that they had an ugly customer to deal with. be- gan to use his clasp knife upon the arms of the thing. It was only after he had slashed off Q portion of every tentacle that the cuttlefish was drawn in and dispatched with a boathOok.
 'sThe boys had several narrow escapes from being seized by the monster, which they brought to Woods with them It measured from the tip of one tentacle to the tip of another on the opposite side, portion of both arms having been cut off in the fight with it, 10 feet and inches "--Portland Sun.

THE COMING JUNO.
What Will Happen If the American wom.
 an Keeps Growing Taller.

There are indications that the Ameri- can woman is gradually growing taller and larger A few years ago the aver age skirt length taken ill the fashion able dressmaking establishments was 42 inches, and 42 inches was the length used for all the model gowns sent over here from Paris. The model length has now increased to 45 inches, and the in- crease in other measurements is in pro- portion.
 The middle aged American woman shows ali inclination to grow broader across the hips and shoulders and stout CT and thicker across the arms, but the college graduate, the university woman and the dehutante grow more gracefully vigorous every year. The typical college graduate is from two to four inches lon ger from the waist down than formerly. Her waist in getting longer, her chest fuller and her limbs narrower. The middle aged women grow eorpulent and clumsy through indolence and indulgent habits of life, while the ever increasing tendency toward athletic sports and out door exercise is improving the younger of the sex. The statuesque Juno type may yet express the American woman. -Philadelphia Press.
