Libel for Divorce.

10 the Hon. Justice of the Supreme Judi
cial Court, next to be held at Skowhegan, in
the County Of Somerset and State of Maine.
Fannie L. Waller of the town, county and
state aforesaid, represents that on the goth
day Of August a. d, 1873, at Arson in said
county, she was lawfully married to Augustus
Waller late of said Skowhegan; that the said
libelant and lbeee cohabted in this state
after their said marriage and resided in this
state when the cause OF divorce herein set
forth accrued and that said libelant had re-
sided here in good faith one year next prior
to the date hereof; that said libelsnt has
been faithful ID her marriage obligations;
that at said Skowhegan, to wit, on the first
day Of January \ b. 1903 and on other days
and times since said marriage, said libelee,
being of sufficient ability and being able to
labor and provide for her, grossly, wantonly
and cruelty neglected and refused to provide
suitable maintenance for her; that at the
time and place aforesaid he has been guilty
of cruel and abusive treatment and extreme
cruelty towards her as follows, to wit: that
she was i'll and not expected to live and with
out means OF support or procuring medical
attendance, of which said libelee had due
notice, but be then and there neglected to
aid her in any way or see her; that at said
times and on other days and times since said
marriage, when she was sick and unfit to la
Dor, that she has been compelled to labor for
otr ers l,r hire to support herself and their
children, and because she was unable to earn
sufficient to support herself and their children.
she and they have repeatedly been objects of
public charity; that eight children have been
born to them now living, three of whom are
supported by her Wherefore she prays that
a divorce from the bonds OF matrimony be-
tween herself and said lbelee may be decreed,
and that the care and custody of their minor
children, Cathtine Marion and Harry, may
be given to her
She further alleges that the residence of
said libelee is unknown to her and cannot be
ascertained by reasonable diligence.

The Door Was Smut.
Chicago Tribune.)

Some body had told Mr.. Finkenbinder
that tailow candle, placed in the bar
rel of shotgun, could be fired through II
barn door as easily as If it were a bolt OF
steel.
Having little leisure on his hands,
he determined TO put the matter TO thu
test.
Taking a position few feet from his
barn he cooked the CUR, aim( d at tie Ger
ter of the pine door, pulled the trigger,
and the gun went off with deafening
roar.
The result was startling.
Ii is painful to have to record the fact
that the candle did not pierce the door.
All il did was to make horrible smear
of tallow over the door aud everything
else in the immediate neighborhood, Mr.
Finken binder included.
How his wife came screaming out of
the house to learn what dreadful thing
had happened, how he told her. sulkilv,
while scraping the soft tallow eff his
clothing, to go back aud attend IN hi
own business, and how she insisted on
helping him-all, this, perhaps, should
be left o the imagination as belonging
to the domain OF the home. whose sacred
precincts no man has ri ht to invade
for the purpose OF dragging the intimate
details of It's daily life into the cold, pitt
less light of publicity.
II remains true, nevertheless. that you
can shoot a tallow candle through barn
door.
II you keep the door open.
