wrestled with fractions and was chas
Used by the teacher for our impudence,
also remains, but seems to have grown
smaller. The two springs along the
"dugway' send forth their cool,
sparkling streams as of yore. Here
we met dear friends of our boyhood
days. Many have grown gray, many
nave found wealth in that rugged
country, many are still Flooding along
without wealth, but still happy and
hopeful. Others have gone to their
final resting place.
The main object of our visit at
Bloomington was to once more greet
Aunt Lucy Reynolds, one of the dear
est old ladies living. While there we
were the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Garthwaite with whom Aunt Lucy has
a comfortable home during her declin-
ing years.
Bloomington is pretty little inland
town OF about 800 people. It is sur
rounded by wealthy farming COM
munity and enjoys a good trade. If
1t mad railroad it would be a hum
mer. Its fine stone quarries afford
employment to many and it is to be
regretted that there is not a greater
market for this product as the stone is
OF the finest quality TO be found any
where. Less changes have occurred
III the business firms here than in
other places visited. Young men have
succeeded their fathers in several
instances, but the sold stagers" are
still there. From the time we reached
Bloomington until our departure old
friends made our stay profitable and
pleasant, in fact they treated us roy
ally, as did all of our acquaintances
wherever we CHANGED to stop. Had we
space the temptation would be great
to make special mention of many who
put themselves to inconvenience in
order that our happiness might be
perfect.
On our return through Lancaster,
Mrs. Geo. Gibbs, a cousin, kindly gave
party for Lillian and we had to
journey alone to Platteville. Here we
were entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. M.
z. and Mr.. and Mrs. Will Rindlaub.
Platteville is the most thriving city
we visited outside of Madison. The
mining industry which has recently
been brought back into activity is
doing wonders for this place and the
stock farming is adding much to the
wealth of that section. Our stay was
cut short in Plattevllle as we were
already week behind schedule Eand
with the hope of another time" many
were passed by. The visitor cannot
help being impressed with the solid
substantial growth of that old mining
town. Handsome dwellings, large
mercantile establishments, fine aven-
ues and wide pavements all speak of
prosperity.
Leaving Platteville we journeyed
homeward, leaving Lillian to visit
relatives and friends in Iowa county,
and stopped for few hours visit with
Mr.. and Mrs Mason at Madison. We
hope to again visit told Grant" but
should the opportunity never come
the recent hearty welcome among old
friends will long remain as bright
period in our lives.

vordica,s ptvorce valid.

NEW YORK, July lathe appellate
division Of the supreme court has
handed down decision denying mo-
ton for the appointment of referee to
take evidence in a suit to determine
whether an interlocutory decree OF di-
vorce obtained by Lillian Nordica from
zoltan Doeme on Jan. 20 last was OBJ
tanned by fraud and collision. Judge
Mclaughlin wrote the opinion of the
court, which was unanimous, that
Nine. Nordica's divorce had been prop
eriy granted and that the allegations OF
fraud and collision on the part OF Ell
Their of the parties to the action or of
their counsel could not be sustained
even by inference. In view of this de-
cision, which declares the opera sing
er's divorce valid, the final decree will
probably be awarded at once.

month 1t tastes like soap.
ut isn't the meerschaum in one of
these pipes that colors, anyway. 1t Is
a mixture OF beeswax and Oil that the
carvers rub into the block before they
carve 1t. You cculd smoke q pipe of
pure meerschaum all your life. and at
your death it would be as white as 1t
had been at your birth. nc r. the oil
and beeswax, only that. which colors.
while meerschaum pipes have fall
en- in cost and favor. brlar pipes have
risen. A pipe of really fine hrlar root
costs to-day from $40 up to $25 or $50.
In the past 1t would not have cost more
than SO at the outside. w Washington
