MEN CAN LIVE
With Mother-In-Law, But Women
II Cannot. Says the Judge.

Louisville, Ky, April 2l.Thc in
tluence of the mothcr-in-law on the
happiness of young married people
was discussed in interesting style here
by Judge Miller, when he granted
Daisy Pearl Holstner divorce from
j. Nj. Holstner on the counterclaim of
Tuelty. He had sued on grounds of
abandonment. She alleged that her
husband had forced her to live with
his mother, where she had been com
pelled to perform drudgery. Judge
ililler wrote as follows:
"Within reasonable bounds the hus-
band has the right to fix the family
residence, and 1t Is the wifc's duty TO
accompany him. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, however, he should not
require her to live with her mother-in-
law over the wifes objection. Wherey
or II Is possible young married people
should set up for themselves. The
records of this court show that while
men can usually live amicnbly with
their mother-ln-lnws, women can sci.
dom do so"

WATER CURE"
Described by Man Who
Saw It.
Other Punishments Inflicted Upon
the Filipinos.

indianapolis, Ind, April 21.-Jesse
Conway, n newspaper man of this city,
who recently returned from three years
as soldier in the Philippines, Is well
versed in the famous water cure, "
which cuts such figure in disciplin-
ing recalcitrant Filipinos. as he has
seen it administered. Says Conway
''Place man on his back and press
OH the gullet until all the air is out
of his lungs, and then pour about a
pint and a half of water in his mouth
just as he is allowed to breath and
you have the water cure. The first
application is generally sufficient to
attain the desired result"
Conway says that quite little wa
ter flows into the lungs, and generally
when a native has been subjected to
the water cure he does not recover
very quickly.
If the dose was Immediately repeat.
ed the victim would be strangled, and
a person with weak lungs might be
killed thereby. Conway also talks of
other methods of punishment in the
new American possessions. One cap
tain under whom Conway served
tried the standing-up process on the
natives with good results.
II a native was captured on infor-
nation from the Secret Service. and
was under suspicion Of having rifle.
he would either have to give it up or
stand In the guard-house until he sur
rendered his coveted treasure. If af-
ter two or three days he did not show
signs of weakening, then he would
be treated as other prisoners, forced
to work, and eating good rations. but
detained as a prisoner until his gun
was surrendered by his family or
AiiShuSs VI solue lTleHu Drought III
some other rifle to exchange for the
prisoner.
A milder form of punishment was
to tie the hands of the native together
until he gave up the desired informa-
tlon, and he had also heard of ma
tves being strung up by the neck
until 1t was thought he was about
to die, and then let down to brea the
little. when he would possibly talk
to avoid second stretching.
Solitary confinement also proved eff.
fective. Conway relates one instance
AT Dasmarinas, Cavite province, where
an insurgent Officer, known as Antoine.
was caught in the full uniform of n
lieutenant IN the Filipino army, and he
was kept without food until he was
ready to talk. Three days later he
surrendered, and he walked nbout
town, pointing out 90 of his soldiers.
and surrenuering 100 rifles.

she had reached her destination with

won't you please fill my bucket for
me?"
The gentleman instantly halted, put
the tin bucket on the spout and started
to pump. AS he did so, the negro bloom
er began singing in a loud voice. Use

Sea Water for His Wrist.

Ahern, the telegraph expert. put his
brawny arm over the launch's side and
let It drag through the salty water.
He had half dozen reporters in the
launch, all armed with specials to file
at the Highlands of Navesink, and af-
ter the launch had slipped through four
miles of the Shrewsbury the operator
withdrew his arm and looked at his
wrist.
There" said he. according to the
New York Mail and Express, Il am

rubbed the wrist in a patronizing way.
Somebody asked him for an explana-
ton and he said:
II have found that by placing the
wrist in cool water for half an hour any
operator is able to double his energy
and endurance for the following twelve
hours. The wrist is the main machin-
cry of the telegraph operator. Its mus
