Her Husband Refuses to Buy Piano
She Leaves Him.

Because her husband refused to pay
for piano for which she had contract

that three months of married life are

her marriage in this city three months

of his brides intentions, and entered
no complaint. Mr.. Wosseng was also

pect of him $500 alimony. Mrs. Wos-
seng was, before her marriage Mrs. Lu-
lu Cash, of Des Moines. She is nice
and had been working for farmer
about two miles from Des Moines, on
the Saylor road. Mr.. Wosseng, who,
for six or seven years prior to about

cause she needed home. Wosseng
liked the girl, and thought she would

Wosseng claims that his married HE
has not been any too happy from the
beginning, and says that his wife at
once took steps to get him to dispose of
his residence property here at 306 South
Sixth avenue in order that he might
buy a home in Des Moines. He was
willing enough to do this. and on We'd
nesday sold his property TO Henry
Schild. a farmer living near Garwin, tor

els back, however, was the purchase OF
a piano. for $3.50, the contract for which
Mrs. Wosseng signed. When brought
TO him. for his signature, he refused,
as he says $3.50 music is too rich for his

Mrs. NJ J. Pierce, the agent from whom
the new instrument was bought, Is
threatening suit for the payment OF the
balance, $500. Wosseng says that he
found to his own satisfaction that Mrs
was going to leave him as soon as he
paid for the piano, and would probably
take 1t with her to Des Moines. When
he refused TO make the payment she
announced her intentions OF leaving
this afternoon at 1870.
w.osseng says that the sooner his
wife applies for divorce the better il
will suit him. AS to the payment OF
the alimony he says he will resist 1t and
will not pay it under any consideration

Letter to Mr.. n. r. Rhem, MARSHALL
town, Iowa.

Dear Sir: No man is more interest
ed in the look and wear of the paint
on the houses you build than you; not
even the owner; not even the painter
And painters sometimes are suspect
ed of being more concerned for the look
than the wear. What is your opinion:
Which pays best. for painter to have
his paint last three years. or as long
as he can? He can have 1t last six, IT
he wants to.
Lead and oil last three: Devoe Ready
Paint lasts six. OF course, conditions
affect the time of both.
Most painters know that zinc tough
ems the lead; some use it.
Devoe Ready Paint is thoroughly
ground in oil; the proportions are right,
and the mixture is thorough.
No painter need mix; he can't afford
to. Hand-work can't compete with
machine work. He runs no risk with
Devoe.
All interests lie in using it; yours,
the owners, the painter's-unless he
wants his paint to wear half as long.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEVOE & CO.
p. Sc. J. Lander sells Devoe Paint.

"Mr. and Mrs. w. NJ. Wallace of King
man, Kas., have announced the engage
ment of their daughter, Geraldine. to
Guy w. Talbot. of this city, the mar
riage to occur late In October.
This will be news to most of Mr..

Terminal railway, has made himself
widely popular in railroad circles by his
ability and courtesy. He has always
been prominent in society and leader
