Cured His Wife Of Cadding.

Husbands in New Haven have a very
effective method OF curing wives OF
the habit of "gadding around" one
man named Bates, who was afflicted
with "A gadding wife. essayed TO cure
her by locking her up IN room. He
was driven 90 this act because his help
meet was rarely home when she was
wanted. and in consequence he seldom
had well cooked meal or tidy house
To come home TO. Instead of having
a family row he thought he would lock
her up so that he would know where
t. find her when wanted. He fitted an
iron barred and padlocked door, and
every day before leaving the house he
locked his wife in This was done day
after day.
Soon the neighbors began to miss Mrs.
Bates. and there was much speculation
as Go the cause When the neighbors
went To the door Co call. there was no
response To their raps, and the house
seemed deserted. This seemed remark
able. for there was "a time when Mrs.
Bates was seen abroad every day. FL
nally the mystery was explained The
neighburhood was startled one day at
the sight of Mrs. Bates leaning out of
q third story window of her house
shouting for help. Soon group OF
neighbors gathered, and To them the
woman related startling story She
claimed that for six weeks her husband
had kept her locked up in her house
and under no circumstances would so
much as give her the liberty of step
ping outside the door i'm his absence.
She had stood the treatment as long as
she could and had decided To rebel
The excited neighbors told the police
the story. and i'm a few minutes an ofii-
Ger was sent To- investigate. He found
the Woman's story true. The door OF
her room was fastened with a huge iron
bar padlocked To the door casing. The
police sent at once for the woman's
husband and made him unlock the door
and remove the bar and paddock.

printed Queen Sophia OF the Neither

III Of Holland, was too great friend
OF Emperor Napoleon III. Empress Eu-
genie and Of France generally to take
kindly To the great chancellor. Before
the big war of 1870 and probably some
time after the Luxembourg squahhe
there was an International exhibition
in Amsterdam. which the queen visited.
She was conducted over the whole
place by the committee. and as they
came To certain section one OF the
members said:
Now your majesty will see the
greatest enemy Of Germany"
"Ah. Bismarck" she cried with some
glee.
The member stood aghast and never
repeated this rash exclamation. The
greatest enemy" he had To exhibit was

WOMEN as
TOREHDORS

American women would find IL diffi-
cult TO imagine one OF their sex in the
arena where bulls are butchered to
make a Spanish holiday. but such there
are. Three pets OF the bull ring in
Spain are women-one a Spaniard. the
other two Germans. Dona Piedros.
the Spaniard is a matadore. The others
are toreadors. II is the duty OF Dona
Piedrus TO linish the fierce brute after
IL has been tormented and wounded by
the others. She is handsome woman
OF 20 and has been I'm the bull ring
since she was IL. When first she made
known her intention of entering ths
arena. there was a howl of protest, but
she persisted. and when she made her
first appearance she was showered with
flowers. Since then she has been in
the ring once every month and on sev-
eral occasions has been more or less
injured. Great danger is incurred by
matadores when giving the quietus 10 a
bull, because the savage brute generally
makes a last desperate rally In this
way Dona Pledros has been face TO face
with death more than once.
Her two competitors are the Pretel
sisters. Lola and Angelica Pretty
they are brilliant and daring riders.
Their exploits I'm the bull ring have
been the themes of Spanish poets they
are the pets of the populace, and for
their achievements i'm the arena they
receive great financial reward. They
were originally circus riders Their
manager being struck with their
equestrian ability. determined 10 make
bullfighters OF them. He took them TO
Seville where there is a school de-
voted to the fine art of killing bull.
There the two girls killed n stuffed bun
three or four times day until finally
they were allowed Co practice on live
bull. From that they were graduated
10 the ring proper and quickly won re-
nown by their daring.
Dona Piedros wears a divided skirt
when in the ring while the Pretel Sis
ters wear the regulation mans bull

her work ON foot. while the latter two
