DIVORCE REFUSED
Bovaird Lost His Case in Courts of
z. Two States. .--.-

VERMILION, s. D.-Three years ago
when Walter Bovaird came to Vermillion
he had In view one object-that of secur-
ing divorce from his wife, Ella Bovaird.
Failing in the courts of Pennsylvania to
secure a separation, he came west in the
hope that a district judge would see fit
to grant him what n jury in his home
state refused to do After residing in
South Dakota the required duration Of
time, proceedings We're instituted on the
same grounds as before. The wife's at
torneys, however. Immediately filed a GER
titled copy Of the trial In Pennsylvania,
and proceedings were dropped for the
time being. In 1901 new proceedings were
instituted on the grounds of desertion.
In the meantime VoEaird had visited the
wife at Pittsburg and had made arrange
ments for her to come to South Dakota.
to which she consented. But the plans
did not materialize, and finally Mrs. b.
decided not to come.
Three weeks ago, after much delay,
Judge e. G. Smith heard the evidence in
| chambers ut Yankton. Mrs. Bovaird, in
company with her brother, was present
to tell her story. On Tuesday of the next
week the attorneys gave their final argu-
| ment, and the judge took the case for
| consideration and has since refused a de-
cree.
The prominence which Bovaird has won
| in South Dakota has made the case an in
| teresting one.
President Droppers and Secretary Sloan
are at work getting things in tip top
shape for the opening term of the state
\ university. There is little question as to
attendance this year. It will be greater
than ever before. Already the rooms in
both dormitories are gone, and private
rooms are being taken at surprising
rate. Several changes and additions in
the teaching force have been made. In
place of John D. Logan, H. J. davenport
will have charge of the department OF
English and philosophy. In the college
Of music Miss Clare Fowler has been
| chosen as an assistant. "A brother of T.
B. Thompson will look after the COM
mercial department during the ]atter's
| leave of absence to study in Norway and
| Sweden. In the college of law conditions
are very gratifying. Merkel Lands OF
Carlisle, Pa, has been added as an in
structor Bartlett Trip will commence
his duties as lecturer on constitutions
law and federal jurisdiction and practice
Dean Sterling has also made arrange
ments with members Of the state bal
to lecture. More than thirty students
have applied for admission.
There is every indication that the foot
ball team will be a hard proposition fo1
outside colleges. With Whittemore a.
COACH Tommy Thompson as manager, ant
Arthur Newcomb as captain, something
will be doing from the start.

THE BUILT-IN SEAT
Detroit iNews-Trib,1ne

Instead OF losing vogue, the built-in seat is
gaining In favor One reason for this is the
fact that it presents many charming posi-
bilities for both large and small homes. The
aspect of a long room may be entirely changed
by running side seat from one angle Of the
wall to the other; and in the very small
apartments Of a fiat, where a davenport or
colonial sofa would not find room, a small
seat is not only convenience, but adds to
the artistic effects and makes the place much
cozier. The growing fashion of having fur
nishing built in and to match the woodwork
of the room makes these seats quite mex
pensive, as they can be of soft wood enam-
e1ed to match the woodwork Of the room.

The pet monkey of q German
professor, having made his escape,
climbed into q tree and defed all
attempts to catch him. Well know
ing the initiative habits of the ami
NAL, his master hit on rare plan
to regain his pet. He looked at the
monkey through an opera glass,
pointing the small end at him, for
some time, and then he retired to
q short distance, leaving the opera
glass on the ground. The imita-
tive monkey descended from the
tree and, taking the opera glass,
gazed after a similar manner at his
master, who seemed to the de-
luded ape to be half a mile distant.
The monkey, still looking through
the same end of the opera glass,
supposed his master was several
hundred yards distant when the
latter, reaching out, secured the
chain and led him back to his cage.

printed a poem by Rudyard Kip.
ling, composed to be read at the
burial of Mr.. Rhodes. It apostro.
phizes Mr.. Rhodes as:
Dreamer devout by vision led
Beyond our guess or reach,
The travail of his spirit bred
Cities in place of speech.
So huge the administering thought that
drove,
So brief the term allowed,
Nations, not words, he linked to prove
His faith before the crowd.
Referring to the place of burial
in the Matoppo Hills, Mr.. Kip
ling writes:
There till the vision he foresaw,
Splendid and whole, arise,
And unimagined empires draw
To council meath his skies,
The immense and breeding spirit still
Shall quicken and control;
Living, he was the land, and dead,
His soul shall be her soul.
