A DREAM WITH A MORAL.

A rich lady dreamed that she
went to Heaven, and there saw a
mansion being built. "Whom is
it for?" she asked of the guide.
"For your gardner he replied.
''But he lives in the iliest cot
tage on earth, with barely room
for his family. He might live
better if heidi not give so much
to the miserable poor folks
Further on she saw tiny cot
tage being built. "And whom is
1t for?" she asked.
That is for yot."
"But, | have lived in a mansion
on earth. | would not know how
to live in cottage. +"
The words she heard in reply
were full of meaning. 1.-THE Mas

TAGGART DIVORCE CASE.
Woman's Character Has Been Put Un- der the Searchlight

l
 | Wooster, O., Aug. 5-That Mrs. Grace
 Viola Culver Taggart, who is seeking
 the custody of her two little sons as
 we'll as a divorce at the hands of Judge
 Eason. took her two little boys into the
 hallway adjoining Wooster saloon a
 fortnight ago and bought three glasses
 Of beer. drinking one herself and giv- ing one to Culver and one to Charlie ' Taggart, was the first testimony of- | fered at today's session of the hearing. l The witness was Harry Rope. an 1S- year-old butcher boy, who testified that
 he was drinking beer in the place and | saw what he described. This Mrs. Tag l gart denied to her counsel.
 Reading of the deposition of Mrs. Scallenberger, the Cincinnati trained | nurse, was resumed. Mrs. Taggart left
 the room. The statement was largely technical. but the deponent was not al-
 lowed to say what Mrs. Taggarts ail- ! ment had been. The patient had told the nurse that she was in the best Washington society, and that Senators, members of Congress and men of dis tinction frequently accompanied her home, and that her mother upbraided her about 1t. weeping bitterly. Mrs. 'Vetter Everly of Orrville, O., an aged woman, testified that Mrs Tag gart. with her children and nurse, for merly lived next door to her and that q certain young man was often at the Taggart house. She would often see this young man leaving as early as , in the morning. He frequently brought bottles wrapped in paper to the house. These bottles would later be thrown under the back porch. Mrs. Everly de- clared that she had examined some of the bottles and that they had contained whiskey. @:
 The hospital record giving the history of Mrs. Taggart's case was eventually admitted. The diagnosis was compil- ation of three diseases of uncertain origin.
 Attorney Wertz then began reading the deposition of Major C. c. Norton. now attached to the army war college at Washington. It certified that Nor ton was Taggart's superior officer in command of the Fort Leavenworth rifle range; that he saw Taggart June 30 and July and that Taggart on both ocasions was perfectly sober and per- fectly sane. July 2 Taggart was ar rested and confined in the hospital charged with acute alcoholism, as he alleges. through a conspiracy between superior officer and an alleged ad- mirer of Mrs. Taggart

KINGS REPLY.
Answers Question of Merchants Trust
 Company DepOsitOrs.


 New York. Aug. 5.-In answer to questions asked yesterday of the receiv- CTS of the Merchants Trust Company by deposltors of that company. who or ganized a protective association, was today made by Vice-President King of the New York Trust Company. whose company is one of the receivers. If the depositors will come here." said Mir. King. I've will give them any informa- ton we have about the affairs of the Merchants Trust Company. They have not been near us.
 About the offer of $2,200,000 for all the assets of the trust company, said to have been made by E. Clarence Jones & Co.,, and brought up in the depositors' question, MT. King says:
 q will say that Mir. Jones has not made any offer of any kind to the re- ceivers." He then adds:
 AS to the one million, we are sup posed to hold in cash and city bonds. we cannot make a distribution of the city bonds About $125,000 of the cash we have to pay out is on preferred claims. When the 60 per cent dividend is paid. there will remain $50,000 cash on which to work along. The receivers have thought 1t best to retain this sum to be used in case any depositor makes a dispute in the courts of the amount of his claim and we are ordered to pay more than we have sent him"

Auto Costumes for Dogs.

understand from a friend who has gone to Paris that automobile cos tunes for dogs are regarded as neces- sities and not as fads among the upper ten. It is said that the dogs eyes are materially Injured If ne Is not provided with goggles, and that to take a French bull pup out without his pro- tecting little leather coat Is sheer cruelty and leads to an early grave.
 Be that as 1t may the little leather blankets are very pretty, as they are ornamented with silver or gilt mono grams, something like those one sees on purses. One actress has a tiny white Pomeranian whose leather suit matches his snowy white coat, the owners monogram being in silver.
 l predict the fall of the chain purse. Already dainty models in leather are competing with it. The truth Is that one loses money from the gilded trifie, and while women don't mind leaving money at the bridge table or the bar gain counter they certainly do miss their coin when 1t disappears on the street.
 And the complaint on this score seems to be almost general, so shop keepers tell me.
 There Is young girl here at the hotel who makes quite a bit during the winter months by telling stories at children's parties. She is very bright, and l am interested in her. The sto- ries are illustrated by pictures pasted on colored cards and when the money will warrant, by stereopticon views. Some little stories have incidental mu- sic. which she plays on the plano, such as Mother Goose jingles. which she sings, while the children laugh at the funny poster pictures. Besides being In demand at parties she Is promised as a great treat to the convalescent child who is good about taking his medi- cine. and we are even going to have her here to entertain us grownups.

Great Britain has not today any group of women short story writers equal to those of America. When 1t comes to writing d novel the case seems to be different. There Is no American woman novelist of the stand ing of Mrs. Humphrey Ward or one
 who is so widely and eagerly read as Marie Corelli. Still, the United States has a number of women, fiction writers of whom any country might be proud. It is nota- ble that several of the most promin ent of them belong to the "temperamental' school-temperament being a more new fashioned word as applied to writ CTS than plain emotional. Amelie Rives did not found the school, though she gave 1t a powerful impulse. Sev- eral of our leading American women story writers are from such widely different parts of the land as Califor- mia, the native State of Gertrude Ather- ton; Maryland. where Elinor Mccartney Lane was born and reared, and New England, where Mary E. Wilkins, liar riet Prescott Spofford and various oth- CTS took their rise.
 Gertrude Atherton's work Is charac- terized by a steady strength that does not always go with the temperament al" literary style. Her maiden name was Horn. and she was reared and brought up in San Francisco. Her mother was Gertrude Franklin, great grandniece of Benjamin Franklin, him. self. She is widow. Her husband was George B. Atherton, also of Cali fornia.
 The old Spanish missions and build ings, dating from the days when Cal ifornia belonged to Mexico, attracted Gertrude Atherton in her girlhood. She reveled In the Spanish American le- gends and historic tales. and from some of these she gathered material for her powerful story, The Doomswo- man." which first drew general atten- tion to the strong young writer of the Pacific coast.
