DRUMMING UP DIVORCE CASES.
ousd Dakota Lawyer Issae' Circular
Telling How Easy 1t Is

\ The South Dakota divorce colony
must be decreasing or else the lawyers
are not content with their business, be-
cause within few days reputable law
yers in New York have received circu-
lars from Sioux Falls legal light, the
object of which is to promote the d.
vorce business. The circular throws
good deal of light upon this South Da-
kota divorce business which will be
something of a revelation.
"The statutes Of Dakota are as lib
eral as any other state in the Union,
requiring but six months residence in
the state before commencing action"
says the Sioux Falls lawyer in his cir
cular This, with other causes, Is the
reason why so many come here to seek
freedom by procuring an absolute di-
vorce."
1t is set forth that divorces " be
granted for any one of five cause Ex-
IRENE cruelty, wilful desertion, wilfui
neglect and habitual intemperance, be-
sides the one recognize Il New York
state. When the defe. is a nom
resident (and there ar ghty few of
the defendants who not non-resi-
dents) the service car by publication
or by personal servi Z. After such pub
lication the defend ant has thirty days
In which to answer or demur. If he or
she does not appear at the end of that
time divorce is granted upon the testi-
mony of the plaintiff and one witness
who corroborates his or her testimony.
This testimony can be taken by deposit
ton of the witness who lives IL another
state but the plaintiff must b. present
IN person and testify. These sections
are quoted:
Extreme cruelty is the infection Of
grievous bodily injury or grievous men
tai suffering upon the other by one par
ty to the marriage. Wilful desertion is
the voluntary separation Of one of the
married parties from the other, with
intent to desert. When one party is in
duced by the stratagem or fraud of the
other party to leave the family dwell
ing place or to be absent, and during
such absence the offending party de-
parts with intent to desert the other, it
is desertion by the party committing
the strategem or fraud and not by the
other.
"Wilful neglect is the neglect of the
husband to provide for his wife the
common necessities of life, he having
ability to do so, or it is the failure to do
so by reason of idleness, profiigacy or
dissipation.
"Habitual intemperance is that de-
gree Of intemperance from the use OF
intoxicating drinks which disqualifies
the person great portion of the time
from properly attending to business or
which would reasonably inflict course
of great mental anguish upon the inno-
cent party. Wilful desertion, wilful neg
L. L. ...Ao
tinue for one year before either is a
ground for divorce"
At the end of the circular the South
Dakota lawyer says he receives many
letters asking for prices for procuring a
divorce. He says 1t is absolutely impos-
sible to give price until full and fair
statement Of the case Is given him and
he can judge Of the work 1t will require
ito carry the case through the courts,
the prospect of litigation making
great difference.

Changes in the olympic Games.


For many years the contests con-
sisted only of foot-races, until in 708
B. G. wrestling and the pentathlon
were introduced. During the seventh
century the memories OF the au-
thorities at Olympia seem to have been
quickened, for we then find introduced
boxing 1888 B. c., the four-horse
chariot-race $3.50 b. CO., the horse
races and the pancratium (648 B. CD;
also the following contests for boys;
foot-races and wrestling (632 B. Co.,
the pentathlon 1928 B. c., and boxing
(616 B. CO. These heavy contests mark
this century as one which set special
value upon muscular force and endur-
ance.
In the sixth century were introduced
the hoplitodromos, or warriors race
(520 B. c., and the soon abandoned
chariot race with mules $500 b. c.; in
the fifth, the races for mares (496 b.
c.; In the fourth, the contest for her

vERIrABLE Jim THE PENMAN..
Bank OF England Note, Executed with
Marvellous Accuracy. l4

=
Marvellous Accuracy. 44
Many stories of skill in initiative
penmanship are told, but the following,
related by an English authority, is
probably the most wonderful authentic
case ever recorded, says the New York
Mail and Express. In 1866 Robert
Stewart, a famous master of penman-
ship, executed G5 Bank of England
note with such accuracy and reality
that he was waylaid in the streets one
night and robbed. of the note by a
ruffian who had seen it in his
possession a few hours previously.
Stewart, indignant at the treatment to
which he had been subjected. gave
chase to the thief and, with the assist
ance of the police, succeeded in re-
covering the sham note. At the sub
sequent police court proceedings no one
seemed to have the slightest suspicion
as to the genuineness of the note, which
was handed round to the various per-
sons engaged in the case. A few weeks
later Stewart, who was a personal
friend Of the cashier of the local New
castle-onTyne) bank, took the note to
him one morning and asked that 1t
might be cashed. In return for 1t he
received five sovereigns and left the
bank. An hour or two afterward he
paid second visit to his friend the
cashier and, taking him to one side,
confessed that the note was forgery
and refunded him the money. The
cashier, whose surprise was great, re-
fused to believe that the note was a
counterfeit, and was not convinced un-
til Stewart had executed another one
in his presence.

This gorgeous robe was of the richest
white satin embroidered with gold
thread and jewels. Around the bottom
Of the skirt were five large coronets,
wrought out Of seed pearls and jewels.
Above them was a rich applique Of
palest green velvet couched, in gold
thread and with the design picked out
in amethysts, sapphires, emeralds, and
other glittering jewels. The corsage
was cut round in the neck and the en-
tire front was covered with the same
exquisite jeweled embroidery. Huge
puffs Of satin formed the sleeves and on
them the rich design Of the skirt was
repeated. About the neck was a costly
medici collar, thickly studded with
jewels on both sides until 1t formed a
glittering mass Of gems. From the
shoulders, fastened by gems, hung the
court train of royal purple velvet, deep
