WILLOWS, Nov. pa sensational di-
vorce case is now being heard in Glenn
Countys Superior Court behind closed
doors. Mrs. Anna Bane is conducting her
own case against her husband, P. D.
Bane, prominent farmer, who lives near
Orland. The request that the public be
barred from hearing the evidence comes
from the attorneys for the defendant
Mrs. Bane strongly objected to closing the
doors and willingly talks of her case and
the evidence she will submit
Mrs. BaneS complaint is a VOluminous
affair and recites many alleged acts of
cruelty on the part of her husband, all OF
which he denies. In the defendants s cross
complaint he alleges that his wife wrong
fully accused him of being too friendly
with a young woman formerly EMPLOYED
on a newspaper at Orland and declares
that his wife told various persons that
this young woman was obliged to leave
town.
All of this Mrs. Bane, in turn, denies in
her answer, but she will try to introduce a
number of letters written by this young
woman to her husband. Some of these
letters, she alleges, address Bane as MY
darling sweetheart and Dearest Paul.

the introduction of these warm epistles.
The case probably will hinge on an
agreement entered into by Mr.. and Mrs.
Bane and signed by each of them in which
they agree to separate, Mrs Bane to be
allowed $500 and to quitclaim any inter-
est in Bane's property. Mrs. Bane claims
that this was abrogated when Bane wrote
to her in May, 1900, imploring her to re-
turn to him and live with him as his wife.
She did return. but he refused to take
her back.

with Spain, governor of New York and
vice president of the United States.
Furthermore, to appreciate fully
the size of Mr.. Roosevelt's product as
an author we must bear in mind two
more things-the character of his
work and the diversity of his sub
jects. Most of his books are not such
as could be written off-hand. His His
tory of the Navy in the War of 1912"
and his Winning of the West" involved
great deal of searching among
archives and old manuscripts in state
and national government Offices, in
libraries and in private collections.
His subjects include naval history,
military history, frontier history, mu.
nicipal history, sport, biography, BIZ
ology, politics ethics and book re-
views.
Mr.. Roosevelt's style is that of a
plain man telling a straightforward
story. After reading his books you
are certain that he never paid any at
tention to his style, and the evidence
is, not that the style is not good, but
that there is abs olutely no straining
after effect. He is essentially prac-
tical man, but he is well endowed with
imagination, and this gives to his work
an occasional poetic touch that ap-
pals to the readers sympathies. He
has, too, power of coming striking
phrases and of putting things in a
way that catches the attention "The
strenuous life" is a phrase with a

office in New York. and invariably re-
fused money compensation for his
services.
of Delicate Health When a Lad
Roosevelt was pale and delicat tie
boy, the very opposite in health of
what he has since become. Plenty of
outdoor air and physical exercise soon
began to give him good degree of
bodily vigor, and in his college years
he became skilled in boxing and
wrestling.
In Harvard university he held good
rank as scholar, giving especial at
;ention to natural history and gem
eral historical subjects. After his
graduation from Harvard in 1880 he
continued his studies at Dresden and
then travelled in Europe and the east.
Roosevelt Enters Politics.
In 1881 Roosevelt, 23 years of age,
began his active life in New York. And
with him activity was activity. His
father had instilled into his mind
contempt for the man who drifts
through an inactive life of comforta BILE
self-indulgence, achieving nothing.
He tried a plunge into New York
politics. In his city district was re-
publican machine combination that
showed no disposition to recognize his
desire to become member of the leg.

defeated it.

nnbribable. unapproachable, fair to
the fair-ninded, severe on the GRIM
inal. His books continued to sell in
increasing number, and the public
through the press, began to have a
broader view of him.
When the Spanish h-American war
came he was assistant secretary of the
navy by the authority of President Nc
Kinley. He had much to do with the
organization of the navy for the con-
hict, and it has always been believed
that his influence largely contributed
to the sending of Admiral Dewey to
Hong-Kong, and thence to Manila bay.
When war became a certainty Mr..
Roosevelt resigned his position in the
navy department, and with Gen. Leon
ard Wood organized the First volun-
teer cavalry, better known as the
rough riders. Gen. Wood was colonel
of this regiment and Mr.. Roosevelt

ROOSEVELT AS AN AUTHOR.
During q Busy Life He Has Found
Time for Much Writing.

1lmc IOf mucn Nr1t1nR.
1t is now nearly 20 years since Theo-
dore Roosevelt took a place in the
public eye as man of affairs Grant
ing him the prophets three score years
and ten, only little more than third
of his period of maturity has passed.
And yet IA volumes stand to his credit.
And if we add the books in which his
name appears as editor and contrib
utor, like "The History of the Royal
Navy" and the book of which he and
Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge are joint au-
thors, the total number of his books
is 21.
This would be remarkable in an
author whose sole occupation was
writing. 1t appears still more so in
man to whom authorship is but an
incident, when we recall that he has
served three terms in the New York
legislature; that he was for five years
a member of the civil service commits

ident of the board of police commits

Turns to Literature.
He lost money on his cattle venture,
but he returned to New York a strong
man physically, and he made the race
for mayor of that city. He was de-
feated, but he laughed. He understood
that the corrupt elements of the city
would not tolerate him, but he waited.
Meanwhile he wrote books-bool.s on
hunting, books on western life, books
on eastern cities. His style in liter
ature was vigorous and pleasing. His
books sold well and the magazines
made great demand for his writings.
The public liked his breeziness, his ev-

tally appreciated him even before he
became national civil service commits
