Parker's Red Head.

Judge Alton Brooks Parker, the
Democratic candidate for President,
was recently chatting with an au-
burn-haired visitor on his veranda at
RosemOunt, New York. Naturally, the
conversation turned to the subject of
red hair, which is characteristic of
the Parker family.

A farmer who has tried the exper-
iment says; IF you will sprinkle
sulphur on the barn floor and through
your corn as YOU gather it, there will
not rat or mouse bother it,. have
done this for several years and have
never been bothered with rats or mice
In stacking hay or oats sprinkle a
little on the ground and on each load,
and my word for It, rats or mice
can't stay there. A pound Of sulphur
will be sufficient to preserve a large
bin of corn and is good for stock and
will not hurt the corn for bread"

DIVORCE QUESTION
An Agreement Reached by the
EpiScopalian House of Bishops
and House of Deputies.
LAW BECOMES EFFECTIVE At ONCE
An Innocent Party to a Divorce For
lnfdelity Can Remarry After One
Year Has Elapsed.
LAW BECOMES EFFECTIVE At ONCE
Satisfactory Evidence Touching Facts
In the Case Must Be Laid Before
the Ecclesiastical Authority
Before the Remarriaae.

Boston, Oct. 25.-An agreement on
the divorce question was reached Mon
day by the house of bishops and the
house OF deputies Of the Episcopal gen.
eral convention. after many days OF
discussion. That section Of the canon
bearing directly on the remarriage OF
divorced persons, which was amended
by the bishops Saturday, assented to
by the deputies Monday, and become
effective at once, is as follows:
mo minister. knowingly after due
inquiry, shall solemnize the marriage
OF any person who has been or is the
husband or the wife Of any other per-
son living, from whom he or she has
been divorced for any cause arising
after marriage. But this canon shall
not be held to apply to the innocent
party In divorce for adultery, pro-
vided, that before the application for
such remarriage a period of not less
than one year shall have elapsed, aft
er evidence touching the facts in the
case, including copy of the courts
decree. and record IL practicable. with
such proof that the defendant was per
sonally served or appeared In the ac-
tion. be laid before the ecclesiastical
authority and such ecclesiastical au-
thority, having taken legal advice
thereon. shall have declared In writ
ing that in his Judgment the case of
the applicant conforms to the require
ments Of this canon, and provided.
further that II shall be within the dis.
cretion Of any minister to decline to
solemnize any marriage"
The bishops adopted an amendment
to a section referring to the admins
tration of sacraments providing that If
clergyman shall have reasonable
cause to doubt whether a person has
been married, otherwise as the word
of God and discipline OF this church
allow" such clergyman shall refer the
matter to the bishop before admins
tering the sacraments. The deputies
had made an exception in favor of
"the innocent party divorced" on the
ground Of adultery, who had remar-
ried, but the bishops struck out the ex-
ception. Their action was accepted
by the house OF deputies Monday.
Leading churchmen expressed the
opinion that the restrictions placed
upon the remarriage of an innocent
party to divorce are so stringent that
the remarriage Of divorced persons
will be rare in the church hereafter.
1t is understood, however, that an at
tempt will be made to have the next
convention specifically declare against
remarriage under any conditions.
