FOLLOWS MARRIED WOMAN
st. Louis Police FinalIyECompel Per-
sistent Lover to Desist-

st. Louis, Nov. Starry Gorfinke1,
until recently a resident of Dallas,
Texas, today solemnIy promised Chief
of Police Campbell to cease his unwel-
come attentions to the wife of Charles
RingOld under penalty of prosecution.
Two years ago RingOld was in business
in Dallas. His wife Jennie was cOnced-
ed to be one or the most beautiful wo-
men in the Texas metropolis. and Cor
fnkeI became infatuated with her. One
day he told Mrs. RingOld that he loved
her She was faithful and told her hus-
band.
The Ringolds left Dallas. They loca-
ted in Kansas City. Gorhnkel followed
them there. He bothered the pretty
wife again, and again the couple moved,
this time to Pittsburg. GOrfinkel dis
covered this and went there also. A
few months ago they came to St. Louis
and the persistent lover arrived shortly
after. The thing got to be an intolera-
bic nuisance, and the husband and wife
called on the police, with the result as
stated.
If Gorfnke1 resumes his attentions he
will be arrested and given the extreme
penalty. He recorded his promise in
writing to Chief of Police Campbell

OVFRWORKED

The Washington Post pours cold wa
ter on the reports of starvation in Cuba
in the following language:
Isn't it about time to stop the clamor
over the starving Cubans,'' at least so
far as concerns the responsibility Of
this government in the premises? Either
there has been outrageous exaggeration
in the past or there is deliberate men
dacity now. AS far back as January
last, the sensation mongers had !, zoo, 600
"Cubans" actually dead or in a mort
bund condition as the result of Spanish
brutality, and now, after a lapse of
nearly ten months, we are suddenly told
that at least 100000 more are dying
with great rapidity from the same cause.
1t seems to US that this horror has been
overwOrked. There were only 1900. 900
people in the island when the insurrec-
ton broke out, more than three years,
nearly four years ago. At least $50, 600
of these were residents of Spanish
birth, engaged in different legitimate
avocations, so there could have been
only 1.150, 600 Cubans of all classes, col
orss and conditions of life. It follows,
therefore, according to the very highest
yellow testimony, that no more Cubans
can be starving to death now, for all
the Cubans in the island. and so, 600
more for good measure, have been dead
for several months

exclusive devotion When he does not
do it she is disappointed. She Will not
tell him what it is that grieves her, but
she takes it out in criticisms on his
friends and his looks and all that he
does, and much that he does not do.
Men, and women, too, ask too much
we give too little. A man wants to
come home and stay home, forgetting
that his wife has been there all day,
and a woman wants to go to the thea

tired to enjoy anything but an even

as he can.
Most marriages are made at an age
when a girl doesn't know enough to
keep her hat on straight, and she and
her friends choose that time for her to
