Short Married Bliss.

One day of married life was enough
for John E. Scott, according to the
story told in the Ramsey county dis
trict court, to Judge Jaggard, by Mrs.
Laura Scott, in her action for di-
vorce.
According to Mrs. Scott, who is 10
years old, she was married to John E..
Scott, Nov. IS, 1899, by Rev. A. B. Mel
drum, without the knowledge of her
parents. Her maiden name was Laura
Cronquist.
For "a hours the couple were to-
gether, and then Mrs. Scott went to
the home of her parents, and Scott
promised to follow and explain mat
tiers. When he did appear a week lat
er, she alleged he was intoxicated,
and did not stay. Then, Mrs. Scott
claimed, he relaxed into evil habits.
The court ordered findings for the
plaintiff, and Mrs. Scott was given
permission to resume her maiden
name.

Upon suggestion made by Govern

creed that persons who have sworn
fealty to the Russian government need

pointed governors in Finland.
Seditious pamphlets have been dis
tributed through the mails in Finland.
The documents urge the people to re-
bel against the car. They are
stamped in Poland and indicate that
they were written by Polanders. In

were manufactured in Russia in or
der to arouse hostility against the
Firms. The pamphlets have been col
lected, and attempts will be made to
trace them to their real source.

II remember man who smoked 26
cigars a day regularly and sometimes
more. OF course he couldn't stand it
long; he broke down, had the regular
disorders and finally wound up in a
private asylum for the hopelessly in
sane where he died after a few years
He began smoking the way we all
do with an occasional cigar. Gradually
he commenced to smoke several more
than his customary three day and
before long the habit had such a hold
that he was burning dozen every
day in the year. OF course his case
is exceptional ne became a slave to
the habit and gave up completely.
His cravings for the weed became so
intense that he couldn't be without it
for more than an hour at a time. He
lost his appetite after he'd been under
the spell for a few years and from then
until he was put into the asylum, he
didn't cat 4 full meal a day.
In spite Of the warnings of the
doctors ana the entrcaties of his
friends nc kept on smoking. Gradually
the number increased to Is, then to 20,
until finally he smoked "a TO 80 every
day. For at least two years he got
up every hour or 50 during the night
for smoke and naturally this loss Of
sleep ana disregard for food soon made
him practically worthless. He kept on,
however, ana finally began to lose his
mind
He smoked just AS much as ever ana
all during his days Of insanity, he kept
calling for cigars ANA think H. died
with a rDll in his hands, all lighted and
just ready for use.

For great many years doctors pro-

failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
