Of holding forth in this style the Won
der is that the union lasted as long
as 1t did
But complaints Of cruel and inhu-
man treatment are not the exclusive
privilege of the weaker sex. Husbands
have made their share of them. One
man claimed a divorce on the ground
that his wife was in the habit of pull
ing him out Of bed by his whiskers;
another because his wife did not sew
on his buttons. A third wanted free
dom because his spouse gave him a
violent blow over the head with he'
hustle; and vet another because his
wife's brothers used to come to his
house and threaten to thrash him. and
make him do everything she wanted
him TO do.
1t is only a few months ago that Will
liam Schinecke bier, Of Chicago, ap-
piled to the courts for freedom from a
wife who had set up for his observance
these new commandments:
These are the new commandments ten,
Which wives now make to married men:
/. Remember that am thy wife,
That thou must cherish all thy life.
2. Thou shalt not stay out late at night
When lodges, friends or clubs invite.
8. Thou shalt not smoke indoors or. out,
Nor chew tobacco round about.
4. Thou shalt with praise receive my pies
Nor pastry made by me despise.
). NV mother thou shalt strive to please,
And let her live with us in ease.
G. Remember. it's thy duty clear
To dress me well throughout the year.
I. Thou shalt in manner mild and meek
Give me thy wages every week.
8. Thou shalt not be drinking man.
But live on prohibition plan
9. Thou shalt not firt. but must allow
Thy wife such freedom, anyhow.
10. Thou shalt get up when baby cries,
And try the child to tranquilize.
These, my commandments, from day to
day,
Implicitly thou shalt obey.
The plaintiff obtained his divorce.
but il is only fair to Chicago to say
that it was granted on some more rea-
sonable ground-George H. Whistley

Story Told at the Navy Yard About Can't
Leary, OF the San Francisco.


They are telling q story at the navy
yard about Capt. Richard Leary, OF the
San Francisco. When that vessel was
last at the yard for repairs her band
played every night for the men at quar-
tiers and later for the officers ness 1t
seems that Capt Leary was very fond OF
one air called La Paloma," and almost
every evening after the hand had I'm
ished its regular programmes the captain
would send out a request that LA Pa
Iona" be played. Now the crew OF the
San Francisco are loyal Americans to a
man. BY a simple process OF reasoning
Il became evident to them that la Pa
Iona" from its name, must be Span
ish air. This was enough to make the
tune obnoxious to the crew.
Capt. Leary, In biissful ignorance Of
the mental trouble he was causing his
men, continued to ask for his favorite
air One night there came a crisis In the
matter. The men were scattered about
the decks when messenger came for
ward with the usual request.
Boys this Is too much" sai6 one fi-
ture Jim Hickey, springing up. Lets

Standing near were scrap buckets con-
tanning the remains of the evening npaal.

SOMETHING ABOUT INDIGESTION.
What Causes it and How it May be
Avoided

America has the reputation, less de-
served now, perhaps, than it was half
century ago, of being the land of
dyspeptics. When we consider the
causes that were formerly at work to
prevent healthful digestion, we cannot
wonder that SO many suffered from
this malady.
The men were too busy to devote
the necessary time to their meals, and
bolted their food without the thorough
mastication that ensures the proper be-
ginning of the digestive process. The
women had more time to eat. If they
would have taken it, but they went
out little, taking no exercise, and the
quantity Of food eaten was almost al
ways in excess of the needs of the
body-a most favorable conjunction
for the production of dyspepsia
Finally, the food itself was of such
kind, and prepared in such a way, as
to tax the digestive organs to the ut
most. The fryingpan reigned SUI
preme, and greasy, smoked and corned
meats, with hot saleratus biscuits or
heavy pancakes, led the assault at
breakfast-time upon the sorely over
| worked stomach, hardly recovered
after a nights rest from hercuean
struggle with the hot bread, pie and
doughnuts of the preceding supper.
So much has been said and written
on this subject that these causes are
less active to-day, but they are still
sufficiently so to bring misery to large
numbers.
The familiar symptoms of dyspepsia
are a coated tongue, a disagreeable
breath and a bad taste in the mouth.
The appetite may be poor, or it may be
ravenous. There may be nausea and
| vomiting. a feeling Of weight in the
stomach and often of oppression in the
| chest There will probably be much
| fatulence of heartburn and more or
| less acute pain
A great danger to be avoided In dys-
| pepsa is self-treatment The patient
| watches himself. cuts off one article of
diet after another which he has been
| led to believe, often without reason. to
| be injurious to him, until he nearly
starves himself: or he swallows box
| after box Of pills. or bottle after bot
| tie of Dr. Somebody's neutrality-suspicious.
until his powers OF digestion are utter
| ly ruined.
If an intelligent physician Is ever
needed by any one, it is by the sufferer
| from this distressing and complicated
malady, which must be taken in hand
| early to be cured easily, or perhaps
