When you first step into DIR. Walkers private
office and ask to have your case diagnosed YOU
are greeted seriously enough and with gratifying
dignity. You are encouraged to tell in detail
your symptoms, and earnest questions regarding
your diet are asked and suggestions concerning
the correction of this made. Your heart warns
towards this sympathetic man who doesn't make
light of your suffering as you expected he would,
but who treats you as though your case were Of
the greatest Importance. - ...
Somehow as you pour forth your story you be-
gin to feel as though the Fuckers around your
mouth were being smoothed away, and the dis
tressed lines of your face, which pronounce YOU
to the world dyspeptic, gradually disappear. Be-
fore you are aware of it, you are smiling over
your ailments and in twenty minutes you have
laughed with the doctor over-well, you don't
know exactly what the joke was-but the main
thing is you have laughed laughed long and heart
lily at thing you don't remember having done
for months ss-.~.,ss. E&
"That's good, fine' exclaims the doctor, you'll
soon be eating beefsteak and onions with a whole
some relish. Go home and take your cups of
hot water and drop in tomorrow morning and
learn how to laugh"
|, The laughing parlor as some one has named the
reception room, is thrown open to you freely.
Here DIR. Walker meets his patients three times

from 1890 till 2.3O, and at night from Z till 8.
Learning to Laugh
In the intervening hours the doctor is giving
private treatment in his inner office. Here he
actually teaches patients to smile. Think Of &.
there are down in Dr.. Walkers books the names
of 743 men and women who have actually forgot
ten how to laugh! Some cases are particularly
stubborn and take weeks of hard work on the
doctors part to relax the scowl lines and bring
forth the laughter marks.
To these patients he talks long and earnestly
endeavoring to get their minds to grasp the rel,.
tive Importance Of things To the hurried bps;-
ness man he breaches calmness and patience. a

THE END OF THE TAIL

Now, children said the inquisitive teacher,
II wonder how many of you can tell me the
meaning which is usually ascribed to the words
the bitter end" just see how many of you can
write sentence containing these words"
Little hands smote little foreheads, and here
and there few pens started to write industrious
ly. One of the latter was welded by little
Archie Mulvaney, and his effort deserves to be
inmortalzed in print Here is what he wrote:
"The cat under the sofa.
The dog ran after her, and bit 'er end"

in open-mouthed amazement to gaze at the sign
which modestly announces that Henry R. Walker,
NJ. D., dwells within this house of mirth.
A doctor, think of it, and all this merriment.
The startling discovery almost routs the smile
which the sounds that issue from the house have
brought involuntarily to the face. Surely some
thing must be amiss Perhaps it is a private asy-
lum and the madmen are indulging in wild
orgy, mad frolic of some sort. just as this
thought has gained credence in your mind and the
goose flesh begins to rise and the hair to stand
erect there comes another burst Of laughter from
within. Ha, ha, ha, hal -ssmf, ha, ha, ha! And
he, he, ha, ha! You join in. It is good, sane.
honest, wholesome laughter, and your maniac
theory is exploded with the reassuring sounds.
DR.. Henry R. Walker is merely treating his
dyspeptic patients, and if you step on the other
side of that sign you will find comfortable and
attractive reception room occupied by maybe a
dozen or fifteen men and women in various stages
of smiling, perhaps they will be wipng away
the tears of laughter as they bid each other and
the pleasantfaced doctor good morning
DR.. Walker is a regular licensed physician

MRS. WATSON GRANTED DIVORCE
Her Husbands Misdeess Furnish Suf-
f1cient Ground for Action.

Mrs James M. A. Watson, wife of the
former clerk in the Office of the auditor
of the District of Columbia who embezzled
about $73, 600 Of funds In the keeping of
the auditor. has been granted divorce
from Mr.. Watson. The latter Is now sery-
ing sentence of ten years imprisonment
In the West Virginia penitentiary at
Moundsville. BY the terms of the decree
Mrs Watson is authorized to resume her
maiden name. Miss Katherine Bryant. The
ground on which the divorce was granted
was the conviction and Imprisonment of
Mr.. Watson.
Mrs Watson's mother, it Is understood,
is a native of Virginia, and her father also
resided in that state for a number of years.
It was necessary for the petitioner to have
resided in the Old Dominion for one year be-
fore being eligible to sue for divorce there.
Accordingly she took up her residence at
Woodstock the county seat of Shenandoah
county, in June, 1904 The year ended last
June and she then fled suit for divorce The
production of transcript of the record
showing the conviction and sentence of her
husband by the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia was really all that was
essential under the laws of Virginia to war
rant the signing of decree of divorce in
her favor. 1t is said to be doubtful If Wat
son had any knowledge of the proceedings
until informed of the signing OF the decree,
II, in fact, the news has yet been commu-
nicated to him.

MAI. ARMIES MARITAL TROUBLES
His Wife Enters Suit for Divorce From
Bed and Board

Major George A. Armes, United States
army, retired, who has figured in several
legal proceedings during the past few
years, was named defendant today in a
proceeding for divorce from bed and board
instituted by his second wife. Mrs. Mary
Wine Armes. Major Armes is accused by
the petitioner Of cruelty. non-support and
defamation of her character.
According to Mrs Armes, about three
months after her marriage with the defend
ant, last February, she found 1t necessary
to leave him, and she adds that since that
time she has lived apart from him. During
the period mentioned, she says, he treated
her cruelty, among other things directing
her attention to a pistol he carried, and
threatening to use it, the result being that
she feared for her safety 1t is further
charged that Maj. Armes used improper
language in addressing his wife, and neg
lected to pay for household necessities.
The court is Informed that after she
separated from her husband Mrs. Armes
proceeded to Boston, Mass, and matricu-
lated at a conservatory of music. her OBJ
ject being TO fit herself to earn a living.
She complains that Maj. Armes followed
her there and attempted to force his way
into her apartments, thereby causing her
great annoyance.
Furthermore, it is declared that Major
Armes addressed letters to relatives Of Mrs.
Armes In which he made charges against
her of infdelity and of using intoxicating
liquors; and that he spread rumors to the
So me effect in Virginia, where the parents
of Mrs Armes reside, and In this city The
suit for divorce filed today, through Attor-
neys Leckie & Fulton and Cox, Douglas d
Douglas. and Conrad H. Syme, is distinct
from the pending proceeding instituted sew
eral months ago by Mrs. Armes against
Major Armes, asking the sale OF the Fair
field property, on Connecticut avenue ex-
tended.

Strength of Speculative Sen
timent Clearly Shown
IN TODAY'S AFFAIRS
STRIKING FEATURE IN SHAHP
DECLINE ON RUSSIAN BONDS.
speculation Also Adversely Affected
by Continued Money Stringency-
R. T. Stocks Under Pressure.

NEW YORK, December At any further
demonstration of the inherent strength Vi
the speculative situation as dlsunsuiSiieo
from the financial situation were DESIRED II
was undoubtedly afforded by the course Oh
affairs In today's stock market. 1t is haruiy
nece ssary to say that at the outset OF pusi-
ness the most striking feature presented TOT
consideration was the sharp decline OF AZ
per cent in Russian imperial per cent
bonds In the London stock market the
movement in question being attended py
corresponding losses in Russian securities
IN Paris, at which point the general STOCK
market also showed grave unsettlement.
Great weakness prevailed upon the Berlin
stock exchange also.
Tha London stock market was rather
strikingly firm in view of the weakness Oh
the continental markets and the quite
heavy selling which was conducted there
for Paris and Berlin account.
The latter was reflected in declines in the
Kaffir and Copper stocks, but consols were
only moderately lower, and American rali-
way shares showed declines limited TO one
quarter and one-haif points Aroitrage OPP
erations in this market resulted IN the ga es
of about 2OOGO shares, and, In addltlon,
quite heavy selling for foreign account was
conducted on direct cabled orders.
In addition TO the concern excited by the
almost impenetrabIe Russian situdtioii
speculative sentiment was adversely aHect-
ed by the continued stringency in the money
market while some nervousness appeared
to exist with regard to the tenor OF the
Presidents message to Congress. There was
virtually nothing in the developments over
Sunday or in the occurrence with the course
of the business session which could be en-
tered upon the opposite side of the specuia-
tive balance sheet.
Notwithstanding that, however, the STOCK
market opened irregular, rather than I'M
settled with a number Of stocks even al
that time showing exceptional Strength ana
with the maximum losses in the weakest
issues confined to and two points.
The early fit of weakness in the market
barely survived the first half hour or busl-
ness, after which a generally firm tone de-
yeloped and many sharp advances vera
witnessed.
In the early dealings Brooklyn Rapid
Transit was under particular pressure,
which was again attributed to uneasiness
with regard TO the outturn of the munich
pal election excited by the results OF the
recounting of the ballots but, on the other
hand. the Metropolitan stocks were ex-
ceptionally firm throughout.

If there was any question about the gen
eral confidence In the securities OF the gas
company. Of which. of course: there Is
none, that would have been dispelled at
the action today at the meeting or the STOCK
exchange in regard to the new per cent
bonds which it is proposed to issue IN neu
OF the per cent certificates or the classes
A and E.
The latter were dealt in today as if the re-
funding process had already taken place
and the i per cent bonds had been issued.
There is, however, half-year interest &c
cruing, which amounts to So on every lOo,
and so when one of the bonds sold for lo6
1t meant that the value of the new per
cent issue was 1903, which is a pretty good
premium for a bond of that class. The
term of the bond is from twenty-five to
twenty-four years.
The lowest point in recent days for the
bonds of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company was reached today. when
couple of lots sold for 50. The downward
course of these securities seems to be keep
ing pace with that of the preferred stock.
The preferred made a somewhat desperate
plunge downward. but as 1t happened as
there was no more stock for sale the move
ment was stopped at So. Only two quota
ton lots were sold one at ssh and the
other at the lower figure. But while there
was no pressure to sell. there was also no
great disposition manifested to support the
stock
The bid remained at IS The stock was
not offered for less than a quarter of a
point advance. AT the close the as Ing
price was SSH.
Quite different was the attitude toward
the common stock, as there developed a

somewhat general. The stock at first was
offered at 40A. which was about on the
basis Of Saturdays offerings, although
slightly under the level then prevailing
The stock was taken at that figure and
there was more wanted and at better prices,
so there was an upward movement. The
stock closed at better figures than 1t opened.
