EASY DIVORCE PRACTICE
Man Divorced Six Years Before He
Knew 1t.

Man Divorced Six Years Before He
Knew 1t.
FROM the Chicago Tribune.
Inc ease with which the divorce laws of
the state Of Illinois can be beaten was
aptly illustrated in Judge Gibbons court
today.
lhis strange story of oppressed woman
hood came out in an attempt on the part
OF Laura Carson to compel payment of a
decree for $1,000 aimony The defendant
TO the petition was Arthur r. Thyng. who
was her former husband, and who showed
the court in less than three minutes that
ne ought not to pay the almony.
Although living within "a stones throw"
IsurauVely speaking, of the court house
Thyng did not know uatil three davs ago
that his wife had been divorced from him
1t was only by accident that he found that
q desfee had been granted against him
SIX years ago; that his wife procured in her
decree a provision that he should paw her
S2,ooo lump alimony; that she had induced
the court to change the Eame of his three
Children to Carlton, which was her maiden
name, and that she had been married to a
second husband several years.
Judge Gibbons could hardly credi. the
story when he heard the undoubted facts
1t appears that Thyng, who is baggage
man en- the Alton road. had given his wife
some cause, fancied or real. for leaving
him. She had taken one child with her
and left two children in the possession
of her husband. They have been with him
ever since, and his amazement can be i'm
agined when he learned that legally tn ,ir
names are now Carlton and NOT Thyng
Although residing in Roadbouse, ILL.,, Thyng
was never able to trace his wife, and COM
pletely lost sight of her.
Last week he met her for the first time
si1 ce 1880, when she told him of the facts
as here given Then she secured an at
torney and had him get rule OIL Thyng
to show cause why he should not comply
with The decree entered six years ago.
Iho strange part of the decree is taat
1t was obtained without having had per-
sonal service Of the divorce proceedings
uEon Thyng, which the law says shall not
be done. Mrs. Thyng filed her bill. the
records show Oh the ground of drunken
ness and cruelty, and service was had by
well where her husband lived. Ex-Judge
Collins heard the evidence. and on a state
ment that ThynG had inherited 5000 en-
tered a decree for 5000 for the wife evil
IDENTIFY forgetting there had not been per-
sonal service Soon after that Mrs. Thyng
was marri ID to w. H. Carson, a litho-
grapher.
Never before did she make any attempt
to collect the $1,000 and her action in now
doing SO was probably due to her over
sight in informing Thyng of the facts.
''Sne can have her divorce and her new
husband" said Thyng, while in court, but
l shall get that part of the decree chang
ing my childrens names corrected. Two of
them have always lived with me ana 1
can't see why she should do such a thing
or why court should allow it,
The court, of course, neld that the money
decree was void.

THE TRADE WAS BROKEN OFF.
And 1t Was Only Because They Could
Not Agree About a So Bargain.

And 1t Was Only Because They Could
Not Agree About a 81 Bargain.
From the Chicago Tribune.
II wonder If your people would like to
have good st. Bernard dog?' observed the
matron in the fur-trimmed cloak, who was
coming to the city on milk train.
II don't know said the square-jawed
dame in black who sat on the other side Of
the aisle. Got one to sell?''
mo, not exactly to SELL" rejoined the
other.
It's like this. You know the Kenmans? !?
Well, they gave him to us when he was
pup. He's grown now to be a great big
splendid animal, and he hasn't any bad
habits, but I've got tired of seeing him
lying on the floor in the parlor all day. He's
all right for pet. but he takes up too
much room, and have made up my mind
to give him away to anybody that will
promise to take good care of him."
Il think it's likely we could take him.
There's only one other thing I'd insist
on. He wears a silver collar around his
neck that cost us couple of dollars, and
it's as good as new. I should want 81 for
the collar. The dog won't cost anything
II don't think I want to take him that
way. I'd be willing to give you $2 for the
dog, and you can throw the collar in. That
would be more like business"
mo, shouldn't be satisfied to let 1t go
that way. want my money back for the
collar, but I can't bring myself to sell
Rover. 1t comes to the same thing, any
how. You give me the 81 for the collar and
make you present of the dog
THAT isn't the way / look at 1t. You
would be selling me a dog collar for $2 and
throwing in dog. couldn't look the ami

''You ought to have him If he's that kind! /!
A Secent dog wouldn't stay in your house!'
They Strengthened themselves up. leaned

glared hard at the other end of the car till
the train rolled into the station.

The Country In Danger.

From the New York Herald.
A little, weazened. leather-looking old
man, with piercing black eyes and eyebrows
as heavy as the average mans mustache,
sat in front of me on Michigan Central
express train one day recently. Presently
he manifested enough kindly human inter-
est In me to turn around and ask about
forty questions relating to my personal and
private affairs. Then. without any appar-
ent reason for doing so, he said, with q
sigh:
There amt no big families nowadays, be
they?"
well, don't KNOW
mo. they ain't." he said, positively. ''The
nice, big. healthy, happy family Is thing
o the past. 'Twant so when was young.

Yesterday was the third day Of tho
Mother Goose Market at the Arlon han
on the South Side, given by the ladies' OF
Wheeling for the benefit OF the City
Hospital, than which there Is no more
deserving beneficiary. More hungry
people took in tho midday lunch than
on the two previous days the business
men Of the city being largely In eVte
dence. In the evening, too, the crowd
was large, though the attraction at the
Opera House probably cut 1t down con-
slderably.
In the main hail the several novel
attractions came in for their usual
amount OF interest. Scrnggs and his
son, at the country store, did thriving
business In everything from n grind
stonerto package OF pins. The post
office annex to the country store was
again one OF the most popular feat
ures Of the entire show and bids fair
to be the prize money-maker OF the
AFFAIR.
Last nights musical features were
again very enjoyable, the principal
Attraction being the Mother Goose can-
tata in which thirty young girls and
boys gave thrilling exposition OF the
Iltle-nOHOreu nOutcHOll Iehcuu' WhASn
was enjoyed by the audience as we'll
as It was by the participants them
selves, probably.
The statement made yesterday morn
Ing that he market would close Thurs
day evening was Incorrect. The affair
continues to-day with the midday
lunch, together with matinee and even
ing performances OF the show proper.
This evening will be the star session"
OF the week. the most interesting event
on the programme being the country
dance. which Is sure to be n big success.
In addition there will be grand nuc-
ton at the country store which will be
worth walking miles to see. Messrs.
Scraggs s Son have been IN training
70 this event for the past thlrty-siX
hours without interruption and are sure
TO be in fine fettle. Another attraction
will be the Shakespeareian readings by
Miss Lima HennIg, which will draw q
large audience.
Remember, the matinee and eveninB
performances to-day end the Mother
Goose Market.

The reports that the Zonr community
is on the eve of dissolution may be
taken with grain OF salt. Ever since
Il obtained large bank account some
persons have been eager to secure n
distribution of the Accommodations OF Its
THRIFT and enterprise. The efforts OF
the monthly publication. the Nugitnn,
which Is written out by hand and dupli-
Gated on copying press, have not IN
fuenced the majority OF the Zoarites IN
the least. In the second number. which
has Just appeared, the editor. Lew
Bimeler. says that he cannot be eX-
PEELED from the socitey for expressing
his opinion on dissolution. and adds
that: 1--WE simply desire that receding
members shall receive q proper share
OF the society's property" In another
article headed "Communism-Humbug-
ISM" the writer says: "Att the sim
plicity which the founders held dear
hns given place to extravaganza ana
poTnposIty. The founders were really
tIeyout believers. not only in word. but
in deed also. But we, who are believers
in form only, who not only do not be-
lIeve, but rIdicule the most sacred or
our ancestors teachings, cannot re-es-
tablIsh this spirit as communists. None
can deny that we do not believe the
religious doctrines of our fathers any
more, II we are renegades, or, In other
words, fall of from the doctrines OF
religion, why not sever the political
bands which tie us to the society,""
The writer then argues that COM
munism grew out Of the voluntary
disposition OF the bodied members
10 aid the feeble. "Afterward," he con-
tinues, "the old. Innrm and others too
lazy to work saw that this could not
last forever. and that they would be
neglected as soon as religious scruples
exerted less influence. They were the
ones who began to aGitate the com
munistIc idea, which has worked up
until those In comfortable clrcum-
stances had no choice but TO join or
he considered rcnegndes."
