ODD CAUSES FOR DIVORCE
Unusual Reasons of Four Chicago
Women for Asking Separation
from Their hUsLanCG.

Four queer divorce cases come from
Chicago. One woman says her hus-
band threw fish at her with such
force that it cut her arm with its sharp
fins. A saloonkeeper charges his
wife with bombarding MIN with bottles
of beer, but does not state what he
was doing while this was going on.
Another man is said to have tried to
kill his wife by turning on the gas jets
in her room. A fourth man says that
his wife once beat him with a hair
brush until it broke.
1t all goes to prove, however, that
when two people disagree they will use
whatever weapon chances to be at
hand to express their feelings, If they
be of the type which seeks relief in
personal violence. Primitive human
nature IS pretty much the same, and
where the cave man or woman used a
club on a stone the modern Chicago
man or woman uses gas jets and hair
brushes. There Is chance for some
of the delicate sentimental theorists
to figure out the amount Of real home
lie which exists in homes where the
husband and wife hare the habit OF
throwing things.

HABITS OF TIE TROUT.
They Will Eat One Another or Their
Own Eggs and Jump at Almost
Anything in Motion.

Trout, theoretically the spiritual
dwellers of Icy crystalline depths,
sometimes have perverted tastes, as
well as individuals more highly Or
ganized. They eat one another; they
eat other fish; they eat their own
eggs when the chance precents itself;
and l believe from personal observa-
ton that they deliberately set upon
and kill manned or injured trout.
Big trout will jump at almost any
thing that is in motion on the water.
| have seen them come swirling up in
the wake of dripping swallow; they
will take the various forms of artiii-
cial bait, spoons, spinners, artificial
grasshoppers, crickets, frogs and
"dobsons" | have seen them strike
at small garter snake swimming;
have seen a trout strike and seize a
mouse.
Once, while casting from canoe,
when at dusk the nighthawks were
very thick, slapped the flies again and
again on the wings of the gyrating
birds, and on one occasion dislodged
a feather which, falling to the surface
of the lake, was seized by trout.

Costly City Underground.

A lot of the taxpayers money is spent
in ways that he little dreams Of. He
knows, of course, that he helps pay for
the putting in Of sewers, but how many
New Workers know that nearly three
millions of dollars we're spent for this
one item alone last year? Over four
millions were spent on the grading and
opening of streets, and just $685.
930.23 covers the amount of these two
items for the years 1923. All of which
goes to show that the city underground
is just about as costly as the more pre-
tentious city overhead.

First Cup Of Tea.

In all probability the first cup of tea
ever made in England was drunk upon
the site of Buckingham palace. The rea-
son for the superstition is as follows:
The first pound OF tea which came to
England was bought-for so shillings-
by the earl Of Arlington in Holland, and
was brought over by him; and at this
time the earl resided at Arlington house.
which was pulled down to make room
for Buckingham house. since then be-

Chicago, June 13.-Dr Frank w.

graduating class Of Armour institute
'There never was more interesting
falsehood than all men are created free

Freedom is something to bewon.
Men are not born free Every power
into whose control man comes, Is a

is no socialist.
THE problem of problems is to get

New York, June 13.-Mrs Nan Pat

Caesar Young, the bookmaker. In a
cab, on June 4, when he was shot and
killed, was to-day indicted for murder
In the first degree.
Young, who had been close friend

her by appointment a couple of hours
before the time set for the sailing of
the steamship which he was to sail on
with his wife for Europe. They had

farewell meeting had been arranged
for the transfer to Young of certain
letters in@the possession of Mrs Patter-

of the happenings in the cab, and Mrs
Patterson has refused to give the de-

Young shot himself and that after the

MINES WORKING AGAIN

Cripple Greek, Col, June 13.-Prac-
tically all the large mines in this dis
trlot which closed down last Monday
after the explosion at independence
are working to-day. The Portland mine
has not yet been reopened and the
company has not announced its plans.
Ih1s y the only large mine in the dis
trict IN which union miners have been
employed during the ten months since
the beginning OF the strike. 1t has
been conducted on the ''open shop
plan, and nearly half the force of 400
men laid off when General sherman NJ.
Bell ordered the mines shut down were
non-union miners. General Bell de-
clares that no members of the Western
Federation of Miners will be permitted
to remain in the camp and that the
Portland company consequently will be
forced to fall in line with the policy of
the other mine owners who organized
to fight the miners federation.
After a conference between represen-
tatives Of various local unions and of
the mine owners and the citizens alli-
ance, at which good feeling was shown
on both sides. the employers agreed TO
make full and frank statement con-
corning their attitude toward all or

WIRE THEFTS.
New Britain Men in Trouble
For Taking Some From
C. r. q L. co.

New Britain, June 13.-William
Lundin, Charles Sedarvall and Char
les Anderson were arraigned in the
police court this morning on the charge
of the theft of wire, the. value of
which was placed at $3.50 from the
Southern New England Telephone Co
and each entered plea of not guilty.
w. r. Delaney, representing B. IT..
Gaffney. who was out Of town, asked
that the cases be continued until next
Saturday. Prosecuting Attorney
Gussman said that he had arranged to
be away on that day and the cases
were finally adjourned until a week
from tomorrow.
Special Officer George Schultz was
not arraigned in court at all, although
he was present during part of the
proceedings, but 1t is said that Clerk
Mitchell received Manager Gray's
$500 bond for him down stairs Mr.
Gussman declined to discuss the rea-
sons for not arraigning the special
officer in court as well as the other
three men. Representatives of tile
telephone company were present from
New Haven and prosecuting Attorney
Gussmann had an interview with them
after court adjourned. Mr. Schultz
has been regarded as faithful em-
ploye and was well thought of by
those who knew him.
