MUTUAL HAPPINESS
IN cHILDREN's LOVE.

For eight years Rhoda Holmes Mich
OILS has never ceased to struggle. She
has earned a fair competence and has
led retired life. but gradually she is
learning to be happy again-happy in
the love of her children, which knows
no distrust or jealousy.
The other day the curtain fell on
the last act in this strange marital
drama.
Mrs Rhoda Holmes Nichols received
decree of absolute divorce, carrying
with it the legal custody of the chill
dren, and authority to resume her
maiden name.
Incompatibility was the cause given,
but the divorce papers are sealed.
Mrs. Rhoda Holmes is still young
and much of life is yet before her.
But it is doubtful If she will ever again
regard love as anything but mirage
of the youthful brain, an unsubstantial
dream, the flesh tints laid upon the
bones of an awful skeleton.
But the experience Of Mrs. Holmes
is not singular. So long as mans ma.
ture remains unchanged. just SO long
will he demand the leadership of the
family, both mentally and physically.
The spiritual crown he accords to
woman without question.
Moral: Do not beat your husband
at anything he may undertake.

FIND HAPPINESS
IN COOPERATION.

Up to this time not a cloud had
marred their domestic sky. They were
happy. with the careless happiness OF
children. Their art was a joy-a play
to them.
And so they played together until
the paintings were finished. In order
to insure separate consideration they
were packed and shipped in separate
boxes to the Paris Salon, where sit
the worlds arbiters in art.
In due time Mrs. Rhoda Holmes and
Mr.. Burr Nichols received their re.
spective verdicts.
For Mrs. Rhoda Holmes it was:
Painting accepted and given honor.

For Mr.. Burr Nichols it was: Paint.

Here fell the shadow, il We are to
believe those who sympathize with
Mrs. Nichols. Here entered the note
of discom. Here was the parting OF
the ways whereby two souls became
estranged, through the life Of earth
and the eternity of heaven.
With the wifes joy was feeling OF
sincere sorrow for her husband. He
had worked so hard. He had hoped
for SO much. Why could not both OF
them have won?
Although the shadow was In his
heart, the husband spoke bravely OF
the future. Let us try 1t again, he
said: 1--WE may both win next time"
And so they went to work for sec
ond trial. Side by side they painted
as before. But now there stood a
ghost between them-the impalpable
shadow Of jealousy and discomfort,
The wife, perceiving this, grieved
much over it. The husband. imagining
things that were not, grew gloomy
and taciturn.
In due time the two pictures were
hacked in separate crates and shipped
to Paris and in due time the answers
came back.
His answer was a box with his pic.
TIRE returned with due acknowl-
alignment; hers an acceptance with
honorable mention.

BALL HALTS FUGITIVE
Man Who Shoot at Cop at Close
Range Brought Down by Gun.

ELIZABETH, Jan. 1S:-Two men
who alighted at North Broad street
Yesterday afternoon from a through
trolley car from Philadelphia were
sized up by Policeman Ward as SuS-
picious characters and he arrested
them. One, who says he is William
Rogers of 912 Cherry street, Phila-
delphia, would not submit to search
ing, and Ward started to take him
to Headquarters. He broke away, but
was caught. He then pulled a reVolV-
er and shot at the cop at close range.
The bullet went through Wards oy-
ercoat, but it's force was spent after
striking a pair of nippers in the cops
pocket. He reeled and fell. and Rog-
ers ran. firing another shot that
missed.
Ward took a hand in the shooting
then. As Rogers turned to dodge be-
hind a tree a bullet pierced his right
breast below the shoulder. He was
taken to the General Hospital. Rog-
ers' companion, who says he is John
Harrington of Philadelphia, was lock
ed up.
Numerous robberies have occurred
recently in the section where the two
men were stopped and the police have
been on the lookout there for suS-
picious characters.
