In Kentucky a man does not buy a
horse until he has looked UP the horses
pedigree and found out something about
his habits and Judge Stirling B. Stoney
of that state thinks that a man should
be equally circumspect when he mar
ries. At least, that is what we sup
pose he thought when he denied to a
husband a divorce from woman who
was an habitual drunkard basing his
decision on the ground that courtship
of only four months preceded the mar
riage. The learned judge called it con-
tributory negligence.

Evans, Resignation Being PREDICTED.

Washington, Oct 2l.-Its is persist
emily rumored here tonight in political
circles that Commissioner Of Pensions
H. Clay Evans will tender bis resigna-
ton to the president to takeeffect Nov.
1, although the rumor can not be traced
to reliable source, and Commissioner
refuses absolutely,to discuss it.
I am informed, however, that the
commissioner is seriously considering
resigning in order to relieve the politi
cal situation in Ohio. 1t lis said the
president did moi, realize the extent to
whichithe old soldiers revolt has cone
in that state, and that he was informed
by Chairman Dick while in Ohio that
unless something was done. to satisfy
that element there was grave danger in
losing Ohio. Since the presidents re-
turn it has been evident that he is not
as staunch supporter of Commissioner
Evans policy as he was short time
ago. ta { laa
Although theirumored resignation of
| Commissioner Evans can not be au-
thenticated, it seems to have more ap-
| parent foundation than any similar re-.
ports heretofore published,
