Yawutng In q TheateP.

Have yOu ever observed at a theater
or concert that the people who are
most deeply interested appear between
the acts to be quite weary of the whole
thing. ynwning half dozen times in
succession? The reason of this Is a
physiological one. When your atten-
ton is much absorbed in anything ex-
citing or touching. you breathe in a
very shallow manner and take into
your lungs only half enough air Con-
sequently, when your attention is re-
Taxed. you have to make up the de-
ficiency. This you do by yawning,
which, after all, is only breathing a
very deep breath
If you watch a man Mt play and
observe that he is greatly moved by
some incident. you may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh, and
a moment or two later yawn repeated.
~. or course the yawning, sd far
from being sign of weariness is a
proof OF the liveliest appreciation.

His BunlIA.

They were newly married and were
calling upon one Of the friends of the
bride who had been particularly pleas
ant upon the occasion of their wedding.
The bridegroom, apropos Of nothing,
began to talk about phrenology and
told how his wife had discovered two
very prominent bumps on the back of
his head. He was proud of them. So
was she, and she passed him around
that the host and hostess might feel
the bumps and know Of their exist
ence. Then she explained
"My book on phrenology says that
they mean good memory and generos-
ity."
1t was evident that she was proud Of
the facts, and so was he. But the host,
being Of an inquiring turn of mind,
wished to satisfy himself. so he got
down chronological work from one
of his library shelves and after much
labor found the bumps on the chart.
Turning to the notes. he read. seriously
at first, then unsteadily. The bride be-
came suspicious, but she was game and
said:
Read it out loud. Please dol" And
the host read
"These bumps are most frequently
found on cats and monkeys"
Other topics consumed the remainder
Of the visit, which was brief.-New

AN OLD RESIDENT.
Father Of Ottumwa Woman Lived in
keokuk Many Years,

keokuk Many Years.
Anthony Faber, the father of Mrs.
Anthony Bongers, who resides few
miles south of this city, died at Keo-
kuk, mis- home for almost half CEN
fury, on Christmas morning. He was
one of the best known men in Keo-
kuk, and the Gate City of that place
speaks of him as follows:
Anthony Faber died at l o'clock on
Christmas morning. He had lived in
Keokuk for almost half century and
was eighty-four years of age.
THE cause of his death was senile
debility. He came to this city in 1853
and grew up with the town, being well
known and highly respected by wide
circle of friends, including all the old
er citizens of Keokuk. He was boil
er maker and worked first in the old
Holland boiler works here, later being
| in the Rock Island railroad shops for
many years.
HE leaves two sons and three
daughters: Mrs. Anthony Bongers, of
Ottumwa; Mrs. John Bonicamp, of
Keokuk; Mrs. William Cogley, of Two
Harbors, Linn; Harvey Faber, of
Keokuk. and Herman Faber, of Bal
lard, Wash There are twenty-eght
grandchildren and seven great grand.
children living.
"Mr. Faber was one of the first
members Of st. Mary's Catholic church
and member of that parish since
the church was built over thirty years
ago. He was an upright man in all
his dealings and lived a consistent
christian life. He was born in Uithui
sen, Holland, on New Years day, 1878
and in 1885 came to Keokuk with his
wife and two children.

DIVORCED A WEEK AGO.
More About the Hammond Domestic
Difficulty in Des Mones.

A short telegram in the Courier yes
terday told of the divorce obtained by
Mrs. Jessie B. Hammond, formerly OF
Ottumwa, from her husband. The Des
Moines News gives the rest of the
story:
Mary A. Hammond has been grant
ed decree of divorce from Jesse B..
Hammond the well known Fifth street
cigar dealer. The decree was signed
December IS and has been matter of
record since that time, although the
local newspapers have not been appris-
ed of it. By its terms the plaintiff is
given the custody of Ralph, the 12-year-
old son, the property and goods at 92S
West Fifth street and each are enjoin-
ed and restrained from making any
representations concerning the charac-
ter of each other in the presence of
the child. 1t is also decreed that the
defendant shall pay 500 to the plain
tiff, 500 on or before May j, 1902, and
$40 per month permanent alimony and
for the maintenance OF the boy until
he shall have reached the age of 81.
"W'hile the suit was brought upon
allegation of cruel and inhuman treat

committed prior to the marriage OF
plaintiff and defendant, the action is
merely formal and filed through
agreement of both parties concerned.
The decree was entered by default the
defendant failing to appear and show
cause why q divorce should not be
granted.
The Hammond petition was filed
with the clerk of the district court De
cember 16, and entered upon the rec
ord at the time. Owing, however, tc
the unsettled condition of affairs at
the temporary court house on Third
street, it became necessary to try the
issues in the law Office of Read &
