Of it is proceeding upon the same

strain the meaning of the law in order
to meet the wishes of applicants for
divorce.

JANIToR DID THE MISCHIEF.
Pretended House Was Haunted to
Get His Home Free.

There is one man who has had the
assessemnt on a piece of real estate
raised to a sum &c per cen above the
price he paid for the property two
years ago, but he does not complain.
He attributes the increase in value
to the removal of what a late ten
ate considered an Improvement.
The owner of the property is Hen
ny r. Edmunds, president of the
board OF education. The property in
question consisted of a good sized
lot with a substantial house upon it
in a good state of repair. Although
the residence seemed a desirable one,
its owner could not keep a tenant in
it. The only man who could be per-
suaded to remain on the premises
was a caretaker, who did not fear
ghosts. For the house was haunted
Mr.. Edmunds does not believe in
ghosts any more than the caretaker
did. He bought the house, paying So
900 for it, and then laid his plans for
laying the ghost. After weeks of pa
tient watching the ghost was cap
tured. 1t was the caretaker, who, by
giving the house a bad name, hSd Sc
cured a habitation free for a couple
of years. The house has a tenant now

in many other states this ome pretty
near being true. In very many in
stances the discretion of the judge is
badly exercised. But for the supreme
importance of the subject IL would

to throwing a dish at a big, husky"
domineering man, kicking him out or
bed, or occasionally lying down from
sheer exhaustion when she would
otherwise be preparing him a meal.
Unless a check be %interposed it will
soon be enough TO legally release a
husband if a wife burn a beefsteak,
warm the coffee over or make a bed
without tucking the covers in at the
foot. Women succeed Oh applications
with a backing in fact just as trivial.
The whole thing is demOralizing in
every material way n direction.
Marriage becomes a convenience for
an experiment TO be discarded at will.
The sterner moralities are held as
lightly as the old-time prohibitions
against card playing, dancing and Sun
day outings. The only feasible way
out would seem to be in the adoption
of uniform divorce laws so rigidly
drawn that the discretion of the court
wouiu not extend to the sanctioning OF
the deplorable conditions complained
of by the cardinal.-Detroit Free

Many ~two-year-old heifers calved this
summer. The calves grow rapidly and
both male and female mature rapid
ly. This is the formula according to
Mr.. Marriage, by which they are pro-
duced: The foundation COW was the
pure bred Devonshire, bought by his
father IS years ago. Bred to a pedi-
greed Holsetin-Friesan bull, weighing
2,400 pounds, the product was a red
COW, an excellent mixer, named
Cherry. She by a red brindled Aber-
deen-Angus bull produced a pair of
brindly roam heifers, and to a red
Cruikshank brought several dark red,
hornless cattle, which proved very
useful beef and butter makers and
very hardy. The present herd began
81 years ago with the choice of three
of these, named Faith, Hope and
Charity. These were mated with an
imported Suffolkshire bull, weighing
1850 pounds, and in turn a Norfolk
polled bull was used. This crossing
produced the present Marriage cattle,
which, however, are to be further per-
fected by crossing with a double
standard poll Durham bull, now a calf
Its name is Anak, and 1t is from the
two largest cattle Of any breed in the
world, Duke of Rose Pomona ii,
weight 5000 pounds, and Acacia
Gwynne, weight $500. This bull will
be the parent of the future herd, and
with the resulting crossing Mr.. Mar
riage will regard his breed as per-
fected and will apply for a charter
from the government giving them rec
ignition as a standard breed.

A genuine new breed of Cattle, is
what a Kansas man is bringing to per.
lection out on the plains OF Kiowa
county. This herd is slowly being de-
veloped by John Marriage, a ranch
man and breeder of Eagle Canyon
ranch, near Mullinville. The story of
its development is the story of the
rise of Marriage from a country boy
to a wealthy ranchman. Marriage is
a native of England. About 35 years
ago his father was secretary of a
company which sold milk in London.
and he lived with his family a
Chelmsford. Later he came to Ameri-
ca, settling near Iowa Falls, la. When
this pioneer. unused to farming, had
built a cabin and paid for his land he
found that he had just sufficient
means to buy two or three cheap
cows and a team. Instead of doing
this he spent his last dollar for one
pure bred Devonshire COW and one
good horse. He remembered that the
cows, which had produced the milk
noted in London for its purity and
strength, were the products of many
crossings. and, while they were not
registered, were superior for the pur.
pose to the registered breeds from
which they sprang. He sought tC
produce a similar animal by many
crossings. In II years he had pro
duced an animal that had character
istics as distinct as had the Hereford
Jersey, Angus or Holstein. He would
sell the bull calves, but retained al
the heifers, and thus he had the par
ent herd of Marriage cattle. This is
the strain the young man brought tc
his Kansas ranch.

The Briton sat and slipped his Scotch

the room, hands behind him, deep in
thought. But soon he took his chair
again, a proof that what now was to
come was not a speculation but the
outline of a plan of action.

Health and Beauty Notes

One treatment for lines on the fore
head is to rub we'll across the wrin-
kles with skin food; then bind a
piece of wet linen firmly across the
forehead and practice talking with
out raising the brows. The lines are
formed by this habit and treatment
will do little good unless the habit is
conquered.
