MIR. SMITH WON OUT.
After Months of Patient Submission
the Worm Turned.
And His strOng-Minded Matrimonial
Partner Met Her Waterloo
Righteous Fury That Led
to Permanent Peace.

There lives in a small town in west
ern New York, not far from Buffalo,
an estimable lady with matrimonial
proclivities. She has married three
times and is yet barely past middle
life.
Her various names have blOtted from
memory her maiden name, but she
became Mrs. Green on entering matTi-
mCniaI relations with her second hus-
band. Mr.. Green died a few months
after the marriage, but Mrs. Green
did not believe IN living single, and she
cut short the conventional period of
mourning in order to enter unincum-
bered into negotiations with a we'll
to-do farmer, who had paid her some
attention in her younger days. The
affair progressed with eminent salts

finally eliminated in their marriage.

Of Mrs. Green's joys and sorrows was

Mrs. Green did not care to descend
from the halo of that noble Anglo
Saxon name Green, to the most pie

fused, therefore, to be a silent member
in the partnership, and insisted that
her friends continue to call her Mrs.
Green. Here the trouble arose. Mr..
Smith did not like the idea, but he
was one of the submissive kind whose
ideas do not count Their friends, how
ever, refused to call her anything but
Mrs. Smith.
The submissive husbandfinally arose
in his wrath and applied an effective
remedy. The women of the township

HONORED IN ORWELL
Little Ohio Town Is Proud of Gen.
Adna R. Chaffee.
Present Commander I'm Chief OF the
Army in the Philippines Passed
the Days of His BOyhOOd
Working on a Farm.

From a humble country home at
Orwell, o., Gen. Adna Il. Chaffee
climbed out in the world and up the
ladder to his present high position
that of commander of the United
States army in the Philippine islands
and he is the first private in the
regular army to be elevated to such
an exalted office. Through his tact
and bravery during the charge of FL
Caney and then in the campaign in
China, where he was also commander
of the United States forces, his name
became a pie - mt topic OF American
conversation, Ind his friends believe
that still greater things are yet to be
accomplished for the republic at his
hands.
Little did his young companions
think as they Played with him about
snow forts in the fields of Orwell that
Adna was some day to command great
armies on real backgrounds. Memo
ries of playmate days, however, go
to show that Chaffee's love for things
military was very pronounced at the
time he was attending the little dis.
trict school and the Old-fashiOned
Methodist Sunday school of his native
locality. In a retrospect of his career
his early command of the SNOWFALL
forces loom up forcibly. He is born
leader of men.
Chaffee's father was a farmer. He
also engaged at odd moments in tn
vocation of cabinet making. tn
mother. possessed all the qualifica-
tions of the typical good woman of the
early days of the western reserve.
She spent much of her time at the
spinning wheel and in weaving home
spun garments which in childhood
were worn by Americas great general
of to-day, and her greatest ambition
was to rear her sons and daughters to
be useful men and women. 1t was no.
a small family that required the at
tention of this fond mother. Adna's
brothers numbered ten, and there
