LITERATURE AND MARRIAGE

A San Francisco husband who
recently sued his wife for a d.
vorce on the ground that she de-
voted her time to smoking cigar
cites and reading "thrashy litera-
ture" has advanced the first illus
tration in support of the theory
that marriage should be a ques-
ton of civil service examination.
That of course, does not apply to
cigarette smoking. A husband who
would cavil over nicotine does not
love his wife, nor would wife
who loved her husband smoke if
the habit was distasteful to her
spouse. Smoking is in the first
place volitional habit.
uBt reading is a question of tenn
permanent. If there is such thing
as "thrashy literature" the phrase
seems anomalous; the desire to
read is innate and can be legislat-
ed neither by law nor love. No

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Miss
Eloise Hammond, a young colored
girl of Oakland, Is probably the
only negro poetess and playwright
who has ever attained to any con.
siderable degree of success in the
literary world. She was born in
Texas in 1886, and graduated from
several California institutions OF
learning with high honors.
Miss Hammond has written two
dramas,b 9th of which have been
successfully staged. and her third
a light comedy, will be presented
in Oakland this mdlth.
Her poems, which she describes
as religious, romantic and patriotic,
are many, and have been widely

AND THE LOVELY LITTLE
CREATURE INTRODUCED
AS MISS RAY.
BY Kate Berry.

Just about a year ago, perhaps
a little more, | went to spend a
week with Cousin Helen in the
quiet but by no means dull country
town in which she resided. One
of the first friends | met was a
lovely little creature whom Helen
introduced as Miss Ray. And such
indeed she was, Tor her presence
lighted up the place in such a way
as seemed like nothing so much
as a human ray of sunshine.
Helen told me chat Fanny Ray
was almost 81; that she was en-
gagged to be married, and that she
had never before been engaged, al
though she had had a great many
offers. Furthermore, the particu-
lars of her engagement are quite
romantic" added Helen.
Helen, it seems, had spent a
month with Fanny the previous
summer and it did not take the
guest long to discover that some
thing weighed upon the mind of
her friend. Marcus Hill, the son
of a neighbor, was home on visit
to his parents, though Fanny got a
great deal of credit for the trip,
and Fanny confessed that she pre-
ferred him to all other men of her
acquaintance.
For some reason he had become
more shy on each successive visit,
and Fanny was very unhappy at
the thought that he might have dis
trusted her from hearing some

paper, published at Topeka, was said
to have the largest circulation Of any
paper IN Kansas, and its circulation was
said 10 be II 900. Now we have a daily
paper with %, 900 circulation. It is an
indication of how newspapers have ad-
yanCed in Kansas and Of the growth Of
the state. An increase of 5000 sub

to the Capital. Now the Capital has
larger circulation than any other daily

sLAME cHEYENNE's ATTORNEY
Norton News Thinks States Attorney
Failed in His Plain Duty.

Failed in His Plain Duty.
From Norton News.
Tuesday afternoon the cases against
Chauncey Dewey, Clyde Wilson and " .
]. Mcbride were dismissed by Judge
Geiger without prejudice. Under the
circumstances there was nothing more
that could be done, as the defendants
had appeared IN this court five times
ready for trial and the state had for as
many times continued the case. The
attorneys for Cheyenne county never
appeared and repeated letters or tele-
grams failed to get any answer what
ever Norton county has paid out near
Iy s., 900 on this case which Cheyenne
county has refused TO pay. No one Of
the attorneys Of the state seemed to de-
sire to assume the responsibility of ask
ing for a dismissal, nor did they care to
prosecute, so the cases were dismissed
by Judge Geiger. We are glad the case
is over, so far as this county is con-
cerned, for as long as the Dewey cases
hung fire in this county, in our local
elections there has been no great pOliti-
cal parties, It was Dewey and anti
Dewey" One-Of the jurors in the first
case is in the insane asylum, caused by
receiving threatening letters to poison
his stock murder his family, and near
ly all the others have in some manner
been haraSSed IN numerous ways. If a
Juror IN this county found the Deweys
guilty he would be considered a hero by
a large number Of people, but If in his
opinion they were innocent and deliver
ed a verdict accordingly, public senti-
ment was very strong against him As
the case now stands II looks like the
Berrys prefer money instead Of justice,
and suits against the DeWeys for dam
ages are now being tried in Sherman
county. The writer Of this did not at
tend the great trial, never heard a word
Of the evidence and knows nothing of
the case except that which appeared in
the papers. We know that the ma
jOrity of the people here believe the
Deweys guilty of murder, yet they ap-
peared for trial once, were found not
guilty; they have appeared for trial FIVE
times since then and had their cases
carried over to the next term and the
attorneys for the state are either guilty
of gross negligence in refusing to pros
ecute or the cases should have been as
they were dismissed. County Attorney
Thompson has never had the evidence
of the case in his possession 50 he
could prosecute, and the Cheyenne
county attorney has not shown any in
clinatiOn to furnish the evidence.
