oar readers, We reproduce the follow
ing rather lengthy account of an unfor
tunate affair resulting in both husband
and wife being arrested nncer a charge
of disturbing the peace. Mrs. X. wa.
tried first and acquitted, and then the
trial of the husband began. He also
was acquitted, by order of the Mayor,
and the following resume of the trial
is taken from the Messenger:
The testimony of Mrs. Keaton and
| Col. Keaton was directly conflicting
and while the Colonel was conservative
| and not harsh in his statements of her
she was most bitter and denunciatory
of him. She openly stated that it was
his intention to kill her and that when
he entered her room she turned her
back to keep from looking at his .'iend-
ish face.' She said he cursed and
swore and bemeaned her till, fearing
he would stab her in the back, she
turned and faced HIM; that he took
hold of her hands and slung her against
the mantel, bruising her arm and
shoulder; then slung her round against
the window sill and bruised her face.
when she screamed for help. She also
swore that Col. Keaton and little boy
cooked and ate their dinner and didn't
offer her any.
Col. Keaton denied her statement in
regard to his hurting her. He said
she took up the fire shovel intending
to hit him when he took hold her hands
and wrenched the shovel from her.
She then ran to the window and raised
it and thrust her head out and screamed
murder! murder!! He took hold of her
arm to draw her back into the house
when she threw her head up against
the window sash, causing the bruise
which she claimed he had made. He
also stated that he and Charlie had
gotten dinn~r and had offered her
some oat MEAL when she said: Take
the cat meal and go to HI with it
and eat it,
During the trial Mrs. Keaton pleaded
her own case and her questioning of
the witnesses, particularly Col. Kea-
ton, was interesting in the extreme.
She would persist IN applying vile ep-
ithets to him till the Mayor had to call
her down more than once. Before
leaving the court room after her ac-
quittal she demanded that the court
put Col. Keaton under peace warrant
for her protection. But the court
doubtless felt like most of those pres
ent that Col. Keaton did not desire to
hurt his wife.
The fact that Col. Keeton has brought
suit for divorce makes his family
troubles Of public interest and we give
above few of the most prominent
features of the testimony in the trial
of this breach OF the peace case. which
may be regarded as the initiative
chapter in which will be a most inter-
esting divorce suit.

pleasure it would have been to me to
have read to them, for my ole teacher

a fair reader, and then l had a most

NURSERY HYGIENE.

An infants thirst is not quenched
by milk; it needs clean water to drink
with regularity.
Plain, boiled water, given between
feelings, will often aid the digestion,
and satisfy the child when restless.
Never put a bottle nipple into your
mouth and then into the baby s mouth;
this will often prove dangerous. Ma
Do not feed the baby because she
cries; this may be due to pain, and it is
harmful TO fill an infants stomach at
such time. ..,-
An infant is a creature of habit, and
usually responds to the wish of the
mother, if the mother has order in her
will. sa4.l.,r
More infants lives are taken by over
feeding than by starvation; never liken
an infants digestion or diet to your
own. Fa.f r5 3tfgf a. 6abgH -te 81

used less than might have been expect

The temple at Yakadama, Japan, con-
tains wonderful relic in the shape of a
tooth which, tradition says, one of the
gods pulled from his jaw in order to
have a weapon with which to, dispatch
an immense cobra, says the St. Louis
Republic. Years ago, according to the
tradition, after the tooth had been
worshiped by heather devotees for
centuries, change of sentiment took
place in regard to the relic 1t was
declared to be a fraud and was, ac-
cordingly, ground to powder and then
thrown into the river But the particles
came together, SO the priests say, and
again formed themselves into a per
feet tooth, which was found as per-
feet as before the ordeal, quietly repos-
ing in the bed of the river. After this
miracle, the Temple of the Sacred
TOOTH" which had also been destroyed
by the unbelieverE, was rebuilt and the
tooth again enshrined as an object of
alteration. At present it is kept in a
gold box wrapped in films from the
sacred white spiders web
Non-believers in the power of the Sa-
cred Indestructible Tooth say that it is
simply a molar of some extinct species
of gigantic animal. t@

In Persia.

The governorship of a state is held
yearly by the man who gives the shah
the largest present; during his period
of office he collects from the people the
taxes, the present he has given the shah
and good substantial sum into the
bargain for himself. Absolutely pitt
less, his men will often seize the last
sticks of an old man, and if the people,
seeing starvation staring them in the
face, resist, they are liable to be put to
death by torture, If what was in the
mouth of every one was true. In the old
days it was necessary to make fright

keep the road through the Kotabs safe.
