secured divorce on the unusual ground
of poodle worship. The story goes that
his wife was the possessor of a poodle
dog of which she was very fond-so
fond, indeed, that DR.. jacobson says it
usurped the place in her affections
which rightfully belonged to him. So
much did she think of the animal that
she thought she could dispense with her
husbands society altogether and so she
left him to devote all her attentions to
the canine. This was more than the
doctor could stand, and, as poodle wor-
ship is not ground for divorce in this
state, he hied him to Oklahoma, where
freedom from nuptial ties can be OBJ
tanned with neatness and dispatch.

A BRAVE LITTLE SWIMMER.
Marion Genthner, Eight Years Old, Save:
the Life of Eva Christofferson.

the Life of Eva Christofferson.
By plunging fearlessly into the st.
Joe river, Michigan, with her clothes on
eight-year-old Marion Genthner, pref
ty little Chicagoan, saved the life of a
three-year-old child, Eva Christoffer-
son, whose father is the interlocker of
the Big Four railroad.
Only the girls mastery of swimming,
backed by presence of mind and re-
markable courage, could have sared the
life of the little one.
The other afternoon children were
playing upon the platform leading out
into the lake, on which the private car
of Mr. Christofferson is now standing.
His baby girl was in the group. None
saw the child wander down to the edge
of the pier. A splash was the first
alarm.
Men near by stood helpless and others
called toward the life savers.
Marion Genthner, rushing past the
other children, dived off the pier. In a
moment golden curls fioated on the sur
face and tiny white hands were striking
out with unerring stroke. Before reach
ing the child, however, she sank for the
third time.
Again the little heroine did not waver
She dived in the direction of the sinking
tot and rose with one hand clutching
the others curly head.
Although little Eva struggled desper'
ately, her child rescuer managed to
tow her to the shore, where helpers met
them.
Marion Genthner is now the pride OF
st. Joe. Her home is in Thirty-frst
street, Chicago, and she spends her
summers in St. Joe. She is fond of the
water, owns two boats and has been an
expert swimmer for four years. Marion
is so beautiful a Chicago photographer
has made her his protege to get her sit
tings for ideal pictures.

The lady acknowledged that he was a
fast worker, and promptly paid him
his money. Shortly after his departure
she went to the wood pile for sticks,
and was surprised on removing few of
them to find that only the top layer
had been cut. Pie body of the wood

then that considerable of the wood had
disappeared and that the remaining
sticks had been arranged in that way
so as not to show the pile had shrunk.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
some of the wood had been hidden I'M
der a sidewalk. while other large sticks
had been concealed in various places
around the yard, and some of the fuel
taken into the woodshed. Recently the
lady CHANGED to see giant stick on the
top of the woodshed roof. She expects

two months, and would not be much

there were ostriches in plenty, ostrich

BIG GAME IN GREAT PLENTY.
Successful Bear Hunting in Montana
Mountains.


Charles Morell, who was formerly a
Helenaite, but has for few years been
living on the Clearwater river, was in
Helena the other day. He is in one OF
the widest regions of Montana and his
nearest neighbor is seven miles away,
between the main divide of the Rockies
and the towering and barren Kootenai
mountains. He says the country, where
he has established farm in the dense
timber and ragged mountains, is alive
with game. Elk, moose and deer are to
be seen at all times and are easy to
shoot, while bears and mountain lions
are very numerous. A new species of
bear has been seen there this season
for the first time. It is an animal with
a fur of a creamy white, nearly of the
color Of the polar bear, and none OF
the old hunters of the region ever saw
that sort of bear before. The animal is
smaller than the ~~izzly, black or sill.

MADE A TEST WITH AIR SHIPS
Two Inventors Fly Their Machines Over
the Lake in a StiR Breeze.

Lake captains who came into Chicago
harbor on a 25-knot breeze at six
o'clock the other evening turned their
glasses on two airships which were
floating in the sky not far from the
north pier lighthouse and near the
beach at the foot of Ohio street. The
airy craft, whose keels were 100 feet
above the lake, were the ingenious in
ventions of some American engineers,
and which may some day supplant the
whalebacks and other marine craft.
Charles Lampson, an inventor of Port
land Me-, arrived in town few days
ago with an airship in his baggage.
There is fraternal feeling among de-
signers and builders of airships, and Mr..
Lampson at once sought Octave Cha
mute, who is Chicago's chief representa-
tive in aerial navigation. In the after.
noon the two inventors went out on the
lake shore to have friendly trial of
their airskips.
Lampson's ship had yellow keel and
four black wings. 1t was made of mus
lin, light woodwork and wire. 1t was
a model ten feet long and its wings had
q spread of about six feet. It's owner
kept it from sailing up to the new moon
by holding fast to it with a string.
Mr.. Chanute was represented by an
airship designed by his chief assistant,
A. NJ. Herring, an engineer from New
York city. His airship was fashioned
like a bird. 1t was made of white silk,
wire and wood. 1t had a tail which bal
anced it in the air. In extreme length
it was about ten feet, by six feet in
extreme breadth, and it weighed only
four pounds. Mr.. Herring also retained
possession of his property by string.
Both models maintained an even keel
and showed great stability in the gale,
which was blowing 25 miles an hour.
eff my model was only a little larger"
said Mr.. Herring, "a sailor could ride on
it in this gale with safety"

Hitched to a Sulky and Able to Cover

This ostrich does not hide his head in

He is a dead game, sporting ostrich

tween the thills of a racing sulky. When
he puts his head anywhere, it is in a
