A deaf and dumb couple in New York
city were recently divorced he alleging
that she wrote awful things on her slate
about him. and that she covered her face
with powder which he thought very un-
ladylike. She claimed that he stayed out
nights, and had learned a new way Of
talking on his fingers which he would
not teach her, and altogether there was
great uphappiness. We have seen several
deaf and dumb men, but we do not re-
member ever having seen a woman so
afflicted. but a F'renchman once re-
warked: There is nothing impossible
with Cod
They have locked up man In New
York on the ground of insanity who not
only deserves well of his fellow men. but
should have a monument erected to per-
petuate his fame. He claims to have in
vented device by which women can
tell when their hats are on straight with
out bothering people to death about 1t.
He says he. is the man who first thought
of putting spirit-level under a woman's
hat. and he was sent to the insane ward
of the nearest hospital. Geniuses are al
ways thought crazy
We hope those persons who asked

We hear that Mr.. J. j. McCardy is go

: An Interesting case is on trial in the
Michigan courts. A poor old man was,
it is alleged, fed on glass by his young
wife, and died from a pain in his ston-
ach TO throw light on the affair the
wife's lawyer will bring persons who will
eat glass before the jury without dele
terious effect; in fact, It is claimed by
the defense that ground glass in ones
morning outmeaI gives an excellent flavor
to it. and 1T is only the short-sighted
who do not care for It. A man who can
digest glass would be able to swallow the
policy Of the present administration and
ought not to waste his time talking to
jurieS.
The New York papers are ,agltating the
subject, Why do not men: go to church?
One man has solved the problem. He
says as there is no hell there Is nothing
to be saved from, and you are as well off
out of church as in it.
Minneapolis has had some ."get-rich-
quick" spectators in her midst but has
them no longer. We do these things bet.
ter In ST. Paul. You don't hear of man
over here being promised so per cent
month and then defraudod of his money.
Our brokers take club and stand on
the corner on dark night, but no prom
ises are made, and there is never any
fuss afterwards. When the investor"
comes to. the broker has gone. It's not
quite the Minneapolis way, but the same
result is reached.
DR. S. e. Smith is a man of courage,
and he said some good things the other
night In his lecture women wage
earpers. But he made one statement
that we would like the papers for; he
said: Some women won't marry" Now,
how did the doctor know that?
There is great advantage in living on
the hill in the shadow Of the s.. Anthony
Hill Postal station. If you write to q
friend on Monday you are sure he will get
it before the end of the week. The East
ern mail that used to be delivered at $3.50
in the afternoon now comes the next
morning, or some time before night.
There are two daily papers printed in
ST. Paul that are so English -that they
shed tears-and hS-Whenever an English
Tommy Atkins is killed by those coacss,
unfeeling Beers, who are actually trying
to keep their country fer themselves. The
English morning paper, desiring some
support for it's lonely position, writes ed
itorials called why Americans Sympa
thiZe With England" trying TO give Is
readers the impression that It's proBrit-
ish views are those OF the country at
large. This does not go down. The 9TH I
er English paper has. perhaps. some Gauss
for being on the side of Britain, but
makes the following startling confession:
Humanity, recognizing the ineVltable
ness of the ultimate result must hope
for British success" Oh yes, yes IL
other words, seeing that the Beers are
the under dog in the fight, and are sure
to be beaten ultimately, humanity must
be on the side of the successful. What
kind Of humanity. One can hear Tho
morning English paper saying to the
evening English paper: Everybody
queer but thee and me, and somstimes
thou art little queer"
We have something to be thankful for:
the national conference Of woman suf-
fragists met in Indianapolis last week
1t is amazing what luck these divine
healers have; one Of them In Montana
got into fight the other day with a
man. on religious topics. and when the
latter was about to strike him. the heal
er called on God to protect him, and the
man dropped dead. 1t was heart failure,
but that does not prevent the healer
from boasting of his pull with the Al
mighty. Reggie.
