II very inconvenient TO climb an tne way

that gives honey TO the bees produces

On Yesterday the sun shone bright,
Through skies of spotless hue;
Upon the earth there was no blight,
And softest breezes blew
The little birds that hurried by
Trilled forth a merry tune.
As happy meath Octobers SKY,
AS in the first Of June.
To-day the clouds hang dark and low,
The sky is overcast:
The winds seem angry as they blow
A damp and chilling blast.
The birds sit dun beneath the caves,
| hear them sadly sing
Requiems for the falling leaves
That came with them in Spring.

And see my best hopes fly.
And thus 1t is. and so twill be.

Sunshine and shadows blend.

Then laugh all we who may;
Tomorrow in the distance lies,

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Nov. u.-Twice

cord Of the matrimonial experiences OF
Thacker II. Lee and Mary .. Lee. The

the decree was granted In his favor.
After securing the divorce Lee again
began counting his former wife, and
within a few months, as she stated, Tor
the sake of their little girl she consented
to again become his wife. The second
marriage took place on March IL. ISL
For several years afterward they lived
together and two other children were
born 10 them, Alan I. and Ethel J..
Again on December Z. 1897, Lee brought
suit for divorce, alleging for the second
time desertion and abandonment This
suit Mrs. Lee contested and filed a cross
bill setting forth counter-charges against
her husband. She declared that owing 70
his cruel treatment and intolerable coH-
duct towards her she was Obliged 10 leave
his home and that he had bid1en her
to go.
Yesteray Mrs. Lee was given the de-
cree and her husbands bill Jas dis
