In many respects Nut island is a
very interesting place. With tho
exception of the slightly sloping
beach on the southern shore, where
the wreckers and lobster fishermen
have made their headquarters, the
island is merely high hill of no
great area. 1t is in sheltered spot
on the coast and commands beau
tiful view of Boston harbor and the
outlying shores. The island has
been for many years the resort OF
hartor picnic parties and of young
men who spend a week or two dur

sea.-Exchange.

From the Kansas CITY Journal.
Ida z. Howell las divorced at Atchison the other
day from her husband. George W. Howell. who will
be remembered in western Kansas a. the big lumber
dealer who failed a few years ago. Under the terms
OF the divorce decree Mr.. Howell must pay his wife
eI6.0 900 in installments Of S75 a month. He is now
working in st. Joe on q salary. and It will take him
sixteen years and eight months to pay out the alimony.
Speaking of alimony. al odd sort of case Is re.
ported from Arkansas City. where q man is paying
5000 to his divorced wife at the rate OF $50 a
month. After procuring this divorce he married q
rich woman. who. however. insists on handling her
own money. Once every month she goes around to
the divorced wife and pays the $50 on her husbands
account. The relations between the two women are
amlcable.
