Chicago, Jan. 16,-As a fitting finale for
a day filled with interesting testimony,
Mrs. Helen #. Pike, who is being sued for
divorce by her husband, Ruthven w.

of the household and so interested did
Judge Chytraus become that he neglected
to close court at the accustomed hour: 49,.
Mrs. Pike told of her experience in the
Michigan camp, where her husband took
her on their honeymoon She said she had
to clean his hunting boots and rifles and
mend the heavy canvas. garments which
her husband wore while hunting.

Mrs Pike said she suffered from cold
because of lack of wraps and would wear
her husbands old oVerceat to keep warm.
For footwear she had a pair of old arctics.

homesick 75!I and cry, Once. when I begged
Mr. Pike to take me away he told me to
go by myself if l. wanted to. I think I
would have gone, but he wouldn't show
me the path which led out of the woods -

"The room was cluttered up. with our
camp outfit and my trunks. Mr.. Pike
would never let me have my trunks where
we lived at any time, because. he said it
was too expensive to move them, and we
| moved often. There was just a small

the wall and at night spread it out. 1t
was only SO inches wide, and Mr.. Pike

! Mrs. Pike went fully into the domestic
economy practiced by Pike when they
lived in Chicago. Most of the time she

their meals over a gas jet or in the CRATE
| Once they had nothing but a small ma
chine, which fitted over the gas burner
and on this Mrs. Pike had to cook all the
meals standing on a chair. One time she

Docs Attack a small Bow

LAKE HoPATcoNG, N. j.. May 27th.-Samuel
K. Hecker, the 9-year-old son of Arthur
Hecker, New York lawyer, was attacked and
terribly mangled by five dogs while playing
in front of his summer home here.
The boy had been romping on the lawn with
big English mastiff puppy belonging to a
neighbor. The romp ended in wrestle, in
which the puppy was the victor. As the mas
tiff stood barking over his fallen playmate
four fox terriers belonging to another neigbbor
rushed up and sprang upon the boy. He
thought at first they were in playful mood
but soon found they were in earnest. Then
he screamed for help, but his voice was drown
ed by the barking of the dogs.
In an instant the boys clothing was torn to
shreds. The dogs bit and tore at his legs, arms
and hands, and tried to get at his throat. The
mastiff stood for moment as if surprised at
such rough play, then, excited by the screams
of the child and the furious yelps and growls
of the terriers, he, too, joined in the attack.
He sent his fangs into the boys thigh and
was shaking him like rat when help arrived.
Neighbors who heard the barking of the
dogs supposed they were attacking some ami
NAL and came to see the trouble. The beasts
were beaten off and the little boy carried into
his home. The worst injuries were those in
flcted by the teeth of the mastiff, which PEN
etrated deeply
