DIVORCES ARE POPULAR
IN STATE, SAY STATISTICS
States Figures Show that Even
Michigan's Record Is
Surpassed.

Indiana seems to be the popular State
for divorces, according to the figures which
have been compiled by State Statistcian
Johnson. He has compared the divorce
cases of Indiana with those of Michigan
and the former proves TO have the most
cases. The figures given by Statistician
Johnson so back as far as 1870. In that
year 1.170 divorces were granted in Indiana,
while there were only 554 in Michigan In
1880 Indiana had 1,423 and Michigan 11f9
In 1900 4469 couples were divorced in IN
diana and Z,4lS in Michigan. The next year
a falling off. in the number of divorces
granted in this State is noticed In that
year 3,3S5 people were separated. THIS fall
ing of was probably due 10 the fact that
a law was enacted about that time requir-
ing prosecuting attorneys to appear for the
defense in undefended suits.

Yellow Piano Keys.

New York Tribune.
Many people who keep their pianos care
fully closed find that the keys become yell
low. Because dirt is injurious to piano,
ii is a common belief that the piano should
be closed when not in use. This is a mis-
take. The majority of pianos made to-
day are constructed so that dust cannot
easily penetrate them, even when they are
open. Keys turn yellow from lack of light,
and piano should be open the larger part
of the time.
There is nothing like strong sunshine for
bleaching yellowed piano keys. Rub the
keys with powdered pumice stone moistened
with water and then draw the piano up
before a sunny window while the keys are
still moist. The woodwork of the piano
should be kept carefully covered. This
bleaching is slow process and may need
to be repeated several times before the
keys assume their original color.
Some housekeepers have bleached the
keys of their pianos to a beautiful white by
simply letting strong sunshine rest fully on
them hour after hour and day after day.

Her own Beauty Hint.

Beauty Hints department in a certain wide

about hair tonics and skin foods, and when
she is in doubt she consults a clever young
physician here in town. Not till lately has
it ever occurred 20 her to render first aid
in her own case, but an injudiciously light
ed mirror at the milliners convinced her
that what she needed was a reliable skin
bleach. She mentioned ii at the mani
cures, and presently she went away, de-
pleted in pocket, but with something in a
bottle guaranteed TO give a leftover lemon

happened to the bottle, and she went back
and bought another 1t really did seem to

Theatrical Notes.

Al Reeves, the burlesque manager
comedian, who is at the Empire this week
with an unusually good show, is a great
fancier of bulldogs and Andy Lewis, his
leading assistant in funmaking, has caught
the fever too. Both Reeves and Lewis have
bulldogs with them on this tour and more
beautiful brutes Ohe uglier they are the
more beautiful they are. according to your
bulldog enthusiasm have never been seen
in all the world. So interested is Reeves
in the gentle animals that when he learned
the day before yesterday that an Indian
apoliS dog fancier was to send a canine of
high pedigree to an eastward city that aft
ernoon he insisted that he be given an OPP
portunity to see the animal as he wanted
to look at his teeth and scratch him on the
head. There was no chance for him to
leave the theater during the matinee so he
made arrangements with the indianapolis
man by which the express wagon which
carried the dog lin a crate) to the railroad
station should stoP at the tb Emp THE
as Reeves was about to go on the stage
to give his banjo act and Reeves gave
orders for the performers then be-
fore the audience to lengthen their
turn" as much as possible. And so. while
the vaudevillians were doing their best to
amuse the audience Reeves was out in the
alley near the stage door asking the dog all
sorts of questions in the brute's own Ian
guage, which Reeves claims to have learned
perfectly.
There is sure to be much fun on the stage

Frank Daniels opens his engagement in his
new operate comedy, 1.-THE Office Boy"
This comedian has been a great favorite all
over the country since the days of Charles
Hoyts Rag Baby" and there is perhaps
no funmaker on the American stage who
is so universally popular THE Office Boy
which was written expressly for Daniels
by Harry Il. Smith and Ludwig Highlander,
is credited with being one of the funniest
pieces of the season, with plenty of bright
music to lend it charm. Many of the songs
have already reached indianapolis, sue
cessful have they been in the East. The
stars principal ditty, I'm on the Water
Wagon Now" has been written about in
the newspapers more than any other comic
song of the year. 1t is said to be exceed
ingly comical as plaintively rendered by the
droll Daniels in his makeup as a four
dollar-a- week office boy. The production
and dressing of the new piece are said to
be lavish and artistic, and the company

promises of very large audiences. The en-

Play is an important factor in gaining
control of our faculties said the dean.
''Coquetry, like other forms of play, is a
training of the abilities which one needs
in serious life. 1t is not merely an outlet
for the dissipation of surplus energies, as 1t
has been considered, but it is instructive and
tends to the development of the higher
