granted Mrs. Homer w. Hodge on the
ground of her husbands cruel treat
ment, avarice and fanatical religious
views. Hodge made no denial when
his wife told the court how he had
forced their two-ycar-old son, the
butler, the cook and the chamber
maid to kneel in the dining-room and
say prayers in turn for her redemp-
ton in her presence. This always
took place after the cook had an
nounced that breakfast was ready,
and when the prayers were over the
breakfast was always cold. To con-
sole her for this Hodge would lay the
family Bible on her plate and recon-
mend the reading of chapter in place
of eating the cold chops. Mrs. Hodge
said that her husband, who had circu-
lated scandals regarding her and in
many ways had sought to damage her
reputation, had declared, early in the
honeymoon his purpose to convert her
to religion.

A Brief Address at MndisOnvilIS
MARRIED by Hoarseness.

Hopkinsville, KY, Oct. 13.-SeveTe
hoarseuess interfered seriously with
Gov Roosevelt, as the result of Sc
we're cold. At jacksonville he made
a brief address, but could scarcely
speak above whisper. He said in
part:
There are many issues at stake in
this campaign of vital Importance to
the people. 1t is of the utmost i'm
portance that we should have sound
currency, and that we should pre-
serve the conditions that have told
for our material prosperity, but it is
of even greater Importance to keep
undimmed the honor of the flag in the
faces of the nations of the earth and,
greater yet, to preserve the principles
that lie at the root of sound govern
ment. We may differ as to the policies
and the nation still go ahead, but
when once considerable body of our
people cease to understand that it is
the right of every man to cast his
vote as he wishes, and to have that
vote counted as cast, self-government
itself is in danger. We can not, my
countrymen, go on long as a republic
If that right is denied"
Col. Curtis Guild, Jr., followed with
brief address.

over the Divergencies of Views
Arising On the Question.

Washington, Oct. lathe Russian
suggestion that the international
court of arbitration at The Hague
be given Jurisdiction over divergen-
cies of views arising on the question
of Chinese indemniNes, was submitted
to Secretary Hay by M. De Wollert,
the Russian charge in Washington, in
a note on October 3.
Assurance of It's Adoption.
1t has received the adherence of the
American, the French and the Rus
sian governments, thus giving the
suggestion the approval of three Of
the foremost nations, and gives as
surance of its general adoption. M.
We Wollanc's note has not been made

it was the result of extended ex-
changes between the French and Rus
sian governments relative to the six
proposals in the French note.

proposals, and then added the new
suggestion relative to giving The
Hague tribunal jurisdiction of in

to the approval Of the French note,
it has not called for a formal reply
of acceptance, but the Russian au-
thorities have been furnished with
copy OF the American reply to the
French note, wherein our approval is
given to the Russian, so that it is none
the less effective in giving American
adherence to the plan. 1t is under
stood also that Austria and Italy, and
probably Japan, look with favor upon
The Hague suggestion.
A Practical Realization.
The movement promises to give
the first practical realization to tho
ears movement in bringing about
the international congress of The
Hague. The court if arbitration has
received the approval of the various
governments represented at The
Hague, and its formal organization
in in progress. The Importance the

Gated by the choice of eX-President

CoNNoIssEUR IN SEEDS.
ne Planted Some Bulbs That Turned

for a bicycle.

'I have good joke on myself" said the
business man whose hobby is agriculture,
says the Detroit Free Press. "My mind has
always had particular preference for seeds
and roots, and never miss an opportunity
to indulge this fancy. Some time ago, in
looking through an old tool box, l came
across several peculiar looking seeds that at
once aroused my interest. They were lit
tie different from anything that had dis
covered during my Horticultural and agricul-
tural experience, and decided to plant
them and see what the product would be.
Well, | did so, and for weeks / waited to
see the strange fruit, flower or vegetable
plant make an appearance, carefully nur-
turing the soil, and giving my pet bulbs the
closest attention.
discouraged at length at their failure to
part the soil and spring into life, dug them
up, and what do you suppose was the dis
covery that 1 made? Why, that my inter-
esting and peculiar bulbs were nothing more
nor less than those little bicycle balls that
are an important part of the steel steed's
mechanism. They had been laid away in the
toolbox, and their size and rusted appearance
made them resemble seeds. My wife and
some of my intimate friends seem to think
there is no excuse for such a ludicrous thing
to happen to a man that has made a study
of plants and bulbs, and they are never done
chatting me and asking me when expect
to gather my crop Of bicycles"
