A very sad case has recently occurred
/ In New York OF a husband and wife who
| are airing their grievances in the divorce
court. A man always appears at rather
| a disadvantage in a suit of this kind as
! he is often obliged, in defending himself
from some SANDER put upon him by his
wife, to repeat tittle-tattle and gossip,
which is very hard for man to do. This
| particular man probably had his own
! reasons for the attitude he assumed; for,
| so long as life lasts, women must weep
| and men must be worked. So that our
| brother sufferer in New York must be
| judged leniently for the following. as
we do not know what the provocation
| was: His wife said: HE danced chicken
| bones on the table and told me that was
how 1 would look when I was dead. He
| said that nine years was enough of one
| woman ard that 1t was time for me to
| take to my coffin. He recommended con-
| sumption as a good thing to die of. His
! first wife died of It, Then he abandoned
me-"
! OF course this man was excited and
! careless in his speech. Nine years is a
long time when ycx are married. Con-
sumption, as he said,Ns a good disease of
| which to die. 1t is oIten quick and pain
| less, and he knew all about it, as his
first wife died of it. But surely his tone
| to her was extremely mild and gentle
| compared to her treatment of him. He
| says: ''She rushed me downstairs, tried
| to choke me, and emptied pail of water
! on me- She smashed her engagement ring
with a hammer, turned me- out of the
| house, and said that If I came back she
would go to the electric chair for killing
| me-"
This is but another instance Of what
men have to stand from the stronger sex,
now that they have obtained the upper
| hand. aF*
The British victories continue to show
a much larger loss of English troops than
of the Beers. 1t evinces a mighty genius
to be able to Guido the foe in every way,
even In the number of the slain.
A strange but true story is told of
Miss Harriet Marsh. who visited a lake
near Faribault in the summer of 1898.
With party of friends she went fishing,
| and had the luck of catching good
sized perch. As she leaned out Of the
boat to haul in her catch she saw a
big pickerel lowering near. When she
! was returning later she discovered that
| she had lost her stem winding Chatelaine
watch, and thought of course that she
had dropped it into the water.
| One year later Miss Marsh returned to
Faribault, and one day went out to this
! same lake on a similar fishing expedition,
and happened to catch a very large pick
| erel. When the occupants Of the boat
drew the fish in they discovered hard
| lump under it's jaw. What was their sur
prise to find Miss Marsh's Chatelaine
watch Strange to say, the watch was
still going, and had gained two minutes.
| The respiratory action Of the fishes gills,
while brushing against the stem winding
| apparatus, had kept the watch wound.
This has attracted much attention from
! scientists.

| A party of men were standing on the
corner of Fourth and Robert streets the
! other night, talking about and compar-
| ing their watches. Brown said, at last,
! 81 don't suppose there is another watch
! in the crowd like mine"
what kind is yours?" they all ex-
! claimed.
Its a self-compensating watch" said
| Brown. what it loses today it makes
up tomorrow"
An exchange says that the detectives
of Chicago are hunting for a girl who is
! heiress to a large fortune. Several men
here who are not detectives are doing
| the same thing.
There are more women in the city of
| Washington in proportion to the number
of men than in any other city in the
world No wonder they don't want Rob
erts to bring his wives.
| Invitations have been received at this
| office to the first annual ball and recep.
! ton of the st. Paul Burglars union,
| which is affiliated with the Modern
| Cracksmen of the World. Prominent citi-
zens will be "held up at the door, in
! stead of on the street, for one night only.
| Ample facilities for checking jimmies,
| chisels and crowbars will be furnished by
! the management. Police grafters, big
| mitt men and other disgraceful elements
| of our noble profession are requested to
keep away. Police protection will be
afforded as usual.
Extract from the report Of the worthy
! burgomaster:
sit is to be congratulated that our noble
| city is from nefarious acts and other dis
graceful disturbances already so free.
In despite of the perfectly-explainabl BILE
| Unanimous anti-administration sensation
al papers, it is by the police court records
| fact established that crime has diminish
| ed over $50 per cent. From the stand
| point now so new to us Of having recent
| ly become one of the governed, instead of
! the governing class, l see in clearer
| light already the needs of greater mu-
J nicipal municipality" Reggie.
