Judge Declares a Woman Who Mar
ries Roaming Man Has no Redress.
ST. Louis, Mo. Dec %. - IF a wo-
man marries a man of rowing dispo-
sition and knows that he has such
tendency before she marries him, 1t is
her business to rove around with him"
declared Judge Sale in taking under
Amusement the divorce suit of John
F.. Greene, attorney and court stenog-
rapher against Eleanor Roeder Greene.
Greene had testified that his wife re-
fused to accompany him from Cincin-
natl and she had given his rowing dis
position as the cause of her refusal.
The couple were married the first
time May 10, 1883 and in July 1900 the
! wife obtained divorce in Louisville.
The husband, it is said married an
other woman the next day and was
divorced from her year later. At his
, request the first wife had her divorce
decree set aside in February 1904, and
they were once more husband and
wife.
Evidence was introduced to show
that Greene was a great believer in
the virtues of green peanuts as a
wholesome food and insisted on his
family eating nothing else, even dwell.
| ing upon the advantages of the un
roasted article when company was in
vited to stay to a meal, where nc
other food was provided. Greene de
MED that he had refused to supply his
family with meat and other substantial
food.
Mrs. Greene filed a cross bill ask
ing that the decree of divorce be grant
4 ed to her.

New York, Dec. 26.-James Hazen
Hyde gave dinner to Sarah Bern
hardt. 1t was an informal, private af-
newspapers, even by the divine Sarah S
press agents.
About four wagon Ioads of palms,
ferns, smilax and cut flowers were
used as decorations. An orchestra of
twenty-five pieces furnished the music.
Nine. Bernhardt sat at Mr.. Hyde's
right. Other guests were Samuel
Untermyer, Edmund Bayliss, Heinrich
Conrad, David Belasco, Kyrle Bellew
Perry Belmont, Ernest Kahn and DR.
Holbrook Curtis The table was laid
for twelve.
There were no speeches, but by all
accounts the divine Sarah, herself was
in her most vivacious, delightful mood
AS far as could be learned, the dinner
was perfectly orthodox.
It could not be learned whether
| violet predominated in the decorations
When Mr. Hyde ordered the flowers
he was asked by the salesman: Il sup
pose you will have some violets, Mr.
Hyde?"
"Well," he replied, mot too many
Just delicate touch of violets.''
Nine. Bernhardt arrived in an oper
carriage, accompanied by her persona
representative, NJ Mayer and Nine

FOR BALLOON ASCENSION.
The Best Time to Start, Says an Ea-
pert, Is at the Going Down
of the Sun.

did you ever know why 1t is that
balloon ascension at country fail
promised for o'clock in the afternoon,
never occurs until about 6?'' Harry
Bindley, expert parachute jumper, ask,
ed st. Louis Globe-Democrat man
ut always happens, and the expla.
nation generally is that the prepare.
lions for the ascension could not be
made in time. This is rarely the case
for the balloonist never had any in,
tention of going up earlier than just
towardNthe close of day. The reason
for this is that not only is an ascen,
sion at any other time fraught with
little more danger on account of the
winds which usually prevail, but also
because by these same winds the bal-
loon and parachute are apt to be caro-
ried too far away, perhaps so far that
injury may befall them before they can
be recovered. :.
"The old and experienced baIloonist
never makes an ascension except just
at shutdown, because with the going
down of the sun the winds subside cons
siderably; he can go almost straight
up, break away his parachute, and
come down in the very lot from which
the ascension was made.
There is really little danger in
parachute leaping when the man who
does it is experienced. The parachutel
must open and bring him down safely,
though he will have hair raising
drop like chunk of lead for about
100 feet, the distance usually covered
before the big bag opens. Then he can
guide his descent readily by raising or
lowering this side or that in order to
spill a little air, and thus keep it from
drifting.
"a balloon can't be guided, but a.
parachute with a man of experience
hanging to it can be controlled as
easily as boat for the reason that.
by fitting it on one side you can force
it in the other direction, and thus
maneuver so that if it is desired you
can deposit yourself on the very spot
of the ascension. 1t is only the mex
perienced men who drift, or those who
fear they may incline the bag too far
for safety"

Coffee Plays on Some.

Coffee Plays on Some.
It hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts, for it is some
times humiliating to think of after
wards.
when I was a young girl I was a
lover of coffee but was sick SO much
the doctor told me to quit and 1 did
but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink it again as he
did not think it was the coffee caused
the troubles.

tinued about 6 months until my stom-
ach commenced acting bad and chok-
ing as If I had swallowed something
the size Of an egg. One doctor said
it was neuralgia and indigestion.

double in the buggy and when my
husband hitched the horse to get me
out into the Doctors Office, misery
came up in my throat and seemed
to shut my breath of entirely, then
left all in a flash and went to my
heart. The doctor pronounced it ner-
vous heart trouble and when l got
home I was so weak I could not sit
up.
MY husband brought my supper to
my bedside with nice cup of hot cof-
fee but said: Take that back, dear,
will never drink another cup of cot
fee II you gave me everything you are
worth, for it is just killing me- He
and the others laughed at me and
said:
