They were not romantic looking
couple, both approaching the mark
which the world unfeelingly calls
middle age. Both were slightly in
clined to embonpoint.
She was pleasant and comfortable
in appearance and gave the impress
sion of having arrived at that stage
of existence when she no longer ex-
pected things to happen. Why, in
deed, should she? They never had
happened, to any extent; she had
grown up, had gone to school, pla-
cidly fallen in love and married-and
there a respectable woman's expert
ence should stop.
He was also inclined to placidity-
outwardly, at least-but with differ
ence. Things had happened within
his memory. Indeed, he was even
then going quietly over them and
retrospection which does not include
the partner of mans joys and sor'
rows is not only dangerous luxury,
but is sure sign Of boredom.
They were travelling between Little
Rock and Fort Smith. She was think
ing busily of the number Of pounds of
sugar necessary to given number OF
baskets of cherries awaiting her
housewifely care, and newell, his
mind was concerned with cherries,
too, but they were cherries in the
blossom, the snowy boughs OF the
trees that had shaded a little village
lane.
Underneath the boughs stood q
girl and boy-how well he remem-
bers the face Of the girl, the pink of
her cheeks, the blue Of her eyes, the
brown of her hair-he could feel yet
the sting Of that braid Of hair as she
switched 1t roughly in his face
when he tried to steal a kiss.
He stole a side look at his wife's
plain, wholesome features and sighed.
He even wondered why his dream of
the tree lane had never come true
why he had-just then the train
slowed up at a little side station and
he became aware of an unusual bus
tie on the platform. His wife said,
with some excitement in her voice:
John, do believe a theatrical
troupe is getting on here"
John dimly remembered that Flora
had always called him Jack" as he
answered lazily:
well, my dear, what of It? There
is plenty of room, isn't there? don't
see any immediate need for my being
interested" and lapsed into the
region of past delights again-"what
10 mischief Flora has been"-he was
yudely jolted back to the present
again by a severe pinch from Mrs.
John.
"For goodness sake, John, did you
ever see such a get up?"
"Eh-what did you say, Margaret?
Get up where?" and following the
direction Of her eyes, he looked down
the aisle.
Ye gods, was he dreaming? II was

the same it's worth is being proved
by the fact that men all over the
country are being stirred to Sufhclenu

This is through the simple fact of that
article which appeared some days ago
in 7 h G o b e, and in which the fact
of my having lost twenty five pounds
of weight in twenty-one days was
spoken of.
Yesterday 1 received this letter.

.DOBSON GOES TO
CHICAGO TO We'd
1t Is the Same John j. Who
Figured in Divorce Suit
Last Fall.

John J. Dobson, local manager Of the
Northwestern Newspaper Union, who
expressed himself in the above manner
in complaint against his wife, Helen
Dobson, for divorce, has decided to
take another chance in the matrimonial
market. A telegram from Chicago an
nounces the fact that John j. DobSon
and Miss Emma Erickson. both of st.
Paul, secured a marriage license there
yesterday and that they were wed last
evening.
AT Mr.. DobSon's Office in the Pioneer
Press building it was stated that Mr..
Dobson was out Of the city, but moth
ing was known of his marriage. He
had left word that he was going to
Fargo, N. D., on business trip. Mr..
Dobson's bride was a stenographer in
the Pioneer Press building and resided
on Payne avenue.
The Dobson divorce suit is still fresh
in the minds of ST. Paul people, the
decree having been granted to Mrs.
DobSon Nov. 7. of last year. Mr.. Dob
son commenced the suit, alleging, in
his complaint, that his wife treated
him in a cruel and inhuman manner,
that she frequently hurled things at
him, and that she was high-tempered
and jealous beyond reason.
In the five typewriter pages of his
suit for divorce against his wife he al
legged numerous things, among them
that upon one occasion when he was
returning to the city his wife met him
at the station and in the presence of a
large number of people beat him over
the head with an umbrella until it was
broken, and all because he had Occu-
pied the same coach on the trip as did
a nurse who had been in the employ of
10 vii Nuh p1nn a
small girl.
On another occasion, charged Mr..
Dobson, when he and his wife were on
a trip with the Minnesota Editorial
association, his wife became angered
at him on the train and proceeded to
beat him in the face with her fists,
much to his humiliation. She never al
lowed him, according to his allega-
lions, to speak to other women, and
refused to accompany him to any
places of entertainment.
Despite the fact that he had been
subjected to such treatment for more
than ten years he said he had always
endeavored to conduct himself as a
loving husband in the hopes that his
wife would undergo a change The
change did not come, and, unable to
Withstand such treatment longer. Mr..
Dobson described his feelings in the
verse at the beginning, and finally left
his wife.
Before the divorce suit came on for
+ trial. however, Mrs. Dobson had some
thing to say, and in a cross bill filed
by her she denied the allegations of her
husband and asked for divorce her
self on the grounds of desertion. This
was granted last November, along with
a decree of the court ordering the hus-
band to transfer to her a considerable
portion of his property and in addi-
ton to pay her the sum of $40 monthly.

STORM DOES DAMAGE
p AT FISH HATCHERY
New Road From Mounds Ruined and
Dams Badly Washed.

At the state fish hatchery the storms
of Thursday afternoon and evening
worked serious destruction, and even
beyond the cost of repairing the dam
age, which will be considerable, the
state game and fish department will
suffer heavy loss in the setback to
the work now in progress at the hatch
cry.
The greatest damage was to the
new road leading from Indian Mounds
park to the hatchery grounds, which
has just been constructed by the park
commission. This road is composed
largely of gravel and sand and, there
fore. it was not at this time in condi-
ton to Withstand the action of the
heavy rains. 1t has been more or less
damaged along it's entire extent and
totally destroyed in places. At one
point there is a washout in which a
good-siZed house could be placed. and
there are several other bad cuts
Besides this more than $50 yards
of material were torn out of the upper
dam and all of the ponds were filed
with sand and gravel. This damage
will all be repaired by the employees
of the department, but the delay in
the work at the hatchery will be q
great inconvenience.

CIRCUS TRAINS GET
CAUGHT IN THE STORM
Did Not Reach the City In Time to Give
Afternoon Performance.

Owing to a washout on the Omaha
railroad near Hudson the Forepaugh-
Sells Bros special trains were delayed
several hours and were unable to reach
the city in time for the street parade ana
the afternoon performance, causing much
disappointment among the crowds that
gathered upon the streets yesterday
morning and among the multitudes that
contemplated attending the performance IN
the afternoon.
The first section of the train did not
arrive till after II clock and it was 1:S0
before the last one pulled in. The
tents were not up till o'clock.
Thousands of people intending to wit
ness the afternoon performance arrived
at the grounds only to be disappointed
Many, however, remained to watch the in
teresting operations of tent raising and
those incidental to the establishing of the
massive show.
The performance last evening was given
as scheduled before a vast throng. The
threatening weather did not hinder sew
eral thousand people from going to SIC
the big show.
