so far from laughing at her pleasant

In her petition Mrs. Pohlman sets
forth: This plaintiff, at the time the
defendant married her, was in good
health and had a fine constitution and
was able to work hard and endure
much and still enjoy life, and yet the
PLAINTIFF was always of a nervous and
sensitive organization so as to be seri-
ously injured by sneers, insinuating re-
marks and continual chickering's and
fault-finding persistently and continu-
ously accorded the plaintiff by the de-
fendant.
"That at one time the plaintiff was
talking to her sons at home and they
were relating humorous stories to her
in the presence of the defendant. where
upon he gave so much evidence of dis
satisfaction that talk was discontin-
ued, and everything was done to please
the defendant possible or that occurred
to plaintiff, and at table, while the
family was eating, defendant appeared
so morose and seemed in such an un-
happy condition that one of the chill
dren asked If he was not feeling well,
whereupon he said:
"I hate to see a set OF FOOLS after
which they ate in silence"

Thirty million feet of natural gas is

well was drilled by the Philadelphia
Gas company near Weston, Lewis

opening there came a rush of gas which
hurled boulders from the well and drove
drillers from the derrick.
1t is estimated that the we'll has a
pressure of 14OO pounds and every effort
to get 1t under control has failed. The
roar of the escaping gas is heard for
