ASKED WIFE To
PAY HIM SALARY
MRS. ELIZA GILBERT TELLS OF
HER MANY TRIALS
COURT GRANTS HER DIVORCE
Sno Declares That Her Husband Made
Money, but sbont II In Keeping
Horsec Instead Of Support
Ing Family

The trials Of wife, who had borne
patiently for more than thirty-fouI
years the alleged peculiarities Of heI
husband, were brought to light yes
terday In the suit for divorce of Mrs
Eliza Gilbert against Sherman Gilbert
on the grounds of desertion and
neglect.
The case was heard in Judge Con-
rey's department Of the superior court
with only immediate members of the
family as the witnesses. The verdict
was given in favor of the woman, but
the small community property was
divided
Mrs. Gilbert told her story as fol-
lows:
'I was married in 1877. My husband
was teamster and we got along
fairly we'll and reared seven children
five Of Nwhom are now of age. Fol-
some time past have been having a
great deal Of trouble in supporting the
family as my husband decided to leave
me about q year ago and, although II
meant one mouth less for me to feed
I did not wish him to go because It
would break up the family circle.
Supported Herself
IT have been compelled to support
myself and children for many years
and to assist in the support of my hus-
band. He worked and made $3.50 q
day. We lived on my property at AL
hambra and his money should have
been sufficient to support us, but lie
thought otherwise. He had his horses
and his wages always went for the
feed and care Of the animals, while
we were compelled to shift for our
selves. I took in washing and did
what work I could and in that way
managed to get along. At last I de-
cided that had had poor time Of II
taking in washing and so we moved
to San Pedro and I started a board
ing house.
This necessitated a great amount of
work and as my husband had given ur
all pretensions Of work I would occa-
sionally ask him to do few chores
for me- He seemed willing to run these
errands until one day he announced
to me that unless I paid him $50 a
month for the errands he attended tc
he would leave me. I tried to persuade
him out of 1t, but he refused to alter
his decision and one morning when
told him that could not give him the
$50 he left me-"

Alllgators in Eastlake! Now what

formalities of a civil service examina-
tion. The gator in question is about
six feet long, with mouth the like
Of which has never been seen in these
parts, but the park commissioners de-
clare that the little beast smiled at
one Of their number and displayed a
row Of glistening ivory several feet
long.
Walter o. Humphry gave the beast
into Edward Rabe's care the day on
which the popular keeper Of the zoo
was bitten by the rattlesnake. Only a
temporary cage had been put up for
the new arrival, and his 'gatorship
proceeded to break cut when he had
been forgotten in the excitement and
made his way into the lake, where
there were fish enough and more to
satisfy his appetite.
The bare legs of children playing
in the lake also looked appetizing,
but the youngsters were frightened
away so the alligator has not as yet
sampled any young Americans. All
efforts to catch the beast have proved
futile, and the fish and ducks in the
lake have been gradually disappearing
between his glistening Jaws.
A letter from the owner was re-
ceived yesterday by the park commits
sion in which the alligator is offered to
the city for SIS. The commissioners
could not see it that way, however,
and dispatched special message to
the owner to go to the lake and catch
his alligator.
At last reports the gator still held
possession of the lake and was master
of all he surveyed.

BOYS AND CIGARETTES.
The Startling Declaration Of a Mag
istrate IN a New York
Court.

The effects Of cigarette using by young
boys would be a startling revelation tC
many Of their mothers II they understood
the alarming proportions to which Il has
grown in this country.
A magistrate In Harlem county. New
York, made the following significant
declaration the other day:
Yesterday had before me 35 boy
prisoners. Thirty-three OF them were
confirmed cigarette smokers. To-day,
from a reliable source, ] have made the
grewsome discovery thatt two of the larg-
est cigarette manufacturers in this
country soak their product in a weak
solution of opium"
The fact that out Of the 35 prisoners %
smoked cigarettes might seem to indi-
cate some direct connection between
cigarettes and crime.
And when It is announced on author
ity that most cigarettes are doped with
opium, this connection is not hard to
understand.
The cigarette is to young boys very
much like what whisky is to grown men.
If It does not directly cause crime it at
least accompanies It in nine cases out Of
ten.
1t must be universally admitted that
the majority Of young boys addicted to
cigarettes are generally regarded as
bad boys. It is an addiction that does
not ally itself with the high virtues OF
manly youth. It leads to bad associa-
tions and bad environments. He must
be a strange boy indeed who can derive
moral and physical good from clga-
rettes.
Opium is like whisky-lt creates an
Increasing appetite that grows with
what It feeds upon. Even pure tobacco
has the same effect.
The growing boy who lets tobacco
and opium get a hold upon his senses IS
never long in coming under the dom
lnation Of whisky, too.
Tobacco is the boys easiest and most
direct road to whisky. When opium Is
added. the young mans chances Of re-
sisting the combined forces and escap-
Ing physical, mental and moral harm is
slim indeed.
It is a deadly combination in most
,ases. There are few. If any, cases in
which II is not more or less harmful
