In speaking of the original trou-
BILE about the divorce, Healy said:
"The split up between myself and
wife came over the fact that she
was going out too much. She
would go out some nights and stay
in some nights. simply told her
that she would have to quit one
or the other. She would have to
stay at home or stay out. She
brought suit for a divorce"
Healy looks as though he had
been poisoned. He is going to have
the well water analysed and, if it
is good, may have his wife arrested
for attempted murder.
The case of larceny against
Healy will be brought up by Judge
Hinkle this afternoon. Healy will
ask that the case be continued till
later date so as to consult his
attorney.

Eason decided to leave Gilmore F.

mother. Elder and Charles Culver
may go with the father to Co
lumbus barracks. The judge says
the boys will remain in the Gus
tody of the court for the present.
The arrangement may be changed
at any time the court sees fit.
The Judge said both boys would
be considered in the custody of the
father, the younger being consider
ed on an indefinite visit to his
mother. Elmer must be sent tC
school at Wooster, Culver at Co
lumbus. Both parents must be al
lowed to see the children at any
time. The boys will be allowed to
exchange visits with their parents.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-It is
likely the Taggart case will be all
threshed over again in the military
courts. The war department will
review Judge Eason's decision and
probably, if Taggart does not take
action against Fortescue and Miner,
the department will. 1t is possible
Taggart will be tried upon charges
preferred by Miner some time ago.

Cured Younqster Of Smoking.

A wise mother caught her little boy
smoking cigarette the other day In.
stead OF inverting him over her knee
and nearly spanking the life out of
him, she said: Johnny, dear, | see
you are getting quite a big little man.
Come away in and I'll give you one of
papa's great big black cigars to
smoke" So she marched Johnny into
papa's study and set him down to
smoke one of papa's cigars. She sat
down opposite and watched while his
lips grew white and his eyes yellow
and his hands dropped hopelessly, and
little later, as she ministered to him
with basin, she had the satisfaction
of receiving his vehement promise
that he would never, never smoke a
cigarette again in his life.

Wide Responsibility in China.

IN China the whole family is held
responsible for the acts of any of its
members and for certain offenses,
such as an attempt on the life of the
emperor, all are executed. even to the
babe in arms. The tepaom, or dean
of the village. elected by universal
suffrage. is responsible for the con-
duct of the families of his domain.
The subprefect, prefect. governor and
viceroy are all responsible in different
degrees. An inundation and a famine
are laid at the door of the governor or
the viceroy who are father and
mother to the people" About thirty
years ago mandarin was murdered
by soldiers. AS result thirty-three
functionaries - prefect. subprefects
and superintendent - were declared
responsible and beheaded and the gov
ernor and treasurer of the province
were exiled.

DOING THE MOST FOR OTHERS.
surest Of All Ways to Bring Bright.
ness Into Our Lives.

Selfishness Is darkness. 1t shuts
us up in the tight little box of our own
lives. Unselfshness gives us wide
circle of interest and delight. What
we do for others has as much to do
with our happiness as what we get for
ourselves Just think how many joys
man may have who is not confined
10 his own reasons for rejoicing! Re-
member how Jeanie Deans blessed the
good lady who helped her, saying:
When the hour of trouble comes
and seldom may it visit your leddyship
and when the day of death comes,
that comes to high and low-lang and
late may it be yours, o my lady! then
1t isna what we hae done for our.
selves, but what we hae done for
ithers, that we think of most pleas.
antly." And this truth is for all hours,
though it be most clearly manifested
in the hour of extremity. Doing the
most for others is doing the best for
ourselves. If you have never made
another life bright, you know not how
much brightness can come into your
