crt Crult, New York advertising
agent, got divorce from his wife,
Nellie Jewett crult Chancellor Magic
signed the final decree in Trenton. In
his application FOR a divorce cruit all
legged that his wife eloped with the
Rev Henry Joscheke. formerly the pas
tor OF the Unitarian Church, at Ridge
wood, Bergent county.
The testimony was taken before
Town Attorney Edwin b. Goodell, OF
this place, who acted as a special mas
ter i'm chancery. Cruit declared that
his wife had left him more than a
year ago There are three children,
ranging from z to 13 years old Cruit
testified that his wife made the ac-
Quantance of the peacher two years
ago, when she and her family were
guests at the old Canistear House.
near Stockholm. Benson H. Snyder
the proprietor of the hotel then took
up tho story. He testified that he had
seen Mrs Cruit and Mr. Jescheke out
driving together ana Mrs. Cruit in
order to escape Identification, hid be-
hind "a rain curtain.
Snyder kept watchful eye upon
them. and noticed that the minister
visited Mrs. Cruit often. He also sur
missed that he came to the hotel ct
night. and with the aid of two neigh
bors he watched in a log cabin on the
lawn and awaited developments. They
did not have To wait long when they
noticed some signals made with a
lamp al Mrs Cruit's window. Shortly
latter midnight a man walked across
the lawn toward the front door of the
hotel and was about go enter when
the landlord pounccd upon him and
threatened TO shoot him II he insisted
upon going into the house
The visitor attempted TO enter by
.another door, and Snyder fired four
shots at him. none OF which took ef-
feet, and. the man escaped through the
door
Then the three men made a rush for
the house, and discovered the Rev Mr..
Jescheke under q table I'm the dining
room. lie was almost prostrated with
fright Mrs. Cru't came down stairs
and begged the landlord 20 LET him re-
main in the house. She confessed her
infatuation for the man. and said her
husband knew she could never care for
him again. She also added that her
church taught that as long as a woman
cared for only one man there was no
Isin. Mr. Snyder said he was induced
lby the entreaties of the woman and
the condition Of the clergyman TO let
him stay I'm the house, with the result
that Mrs. Cruit kept him I'm her apart
mcnts for two days. bringing him food
and other necessities.
This testimony was .corrohorated by
Albert S. Leeper, Of SUSSEX ant
Charles d. Day, Of Canlstear.
Neither Mrs Cruit nor Mr. Jeschek,
offered any evidence in rebuttal, and
allowed the case 10 so by default Mr.
Cruit IS az present spending the SUM
liner at ST. Anthony Park, MINI. Thl
custody of his three children wa
given TO him.

Her BUT
HAD TO fight
Time HOnOred Wedding
Custom Upheld in Nil
Waukee

MILWAUKEE,. Wis. July IL
Time-honored custom has privileged
a bridegroom to kiss his bride inn
mediately on the conclusion of the cere-
mony.
Henry Befninger, of Milwaukee, up
held this custom in the Justice Court
Of Justice E. V. Orvis. Waukegan. Ill.
where he had just been yoked for life
to Miss May Martin, Of Chicago.
But Mr.. Berninger did not sustain
tradition without a struggle, and his
valiant battle for connubial rights re-
fleets credit on the determination of the
manhood of Milwaukee.
The wedding ceremony was COM
pleted. when Mr. Berninger turned ex-
pectantly TO his bride with his lips
puckered in anticipatory fashion.
What's the matter with you?" de-
manded the bride tartly.
WHY think l will kiss you. It's
customary" said the bridegroom,
slightly taken aback.
Customary. huh?" retorted the new
wife. Seems to me you know a lot
about customary. Have you ever been
married before?" she demanded, with
sudden suspicion.
mo. indeed I haven't. OF course
not. What an idea" said Mr.. Bern
niger rapidly. only 1 have always
understood"
We'll 1 never was married before,
either. so 1 know just as much about
it as you do" responded Mrs. Bernin-
ger. "And 1 amt going to let you kiss
me before this bunch of men," indicat-
ing with a graceful gesture the usual
| interested crowd of onlOokers which
graces every Justice Court wedding.
Then the spirit Of the German war
riors rose high in Mr.. Berninger'
bosom.
"I'u bet a dollar I do kiss you" he
exclaimed and with this he seized his
coy bride in his arms and a lively
wrestle for the kiss commenced to this
intense delight and edihcation OF
Justice Orvis and the other spectators
/ For a time the battle hung in the
balance and bets were freely offered
/ that the bride would escape unkissed
from the courtroom.
Suddenly there was a hollow sound
! like that caused by a COW drawing hel
foot from the mud. Flushed and dis
heveled, his white tie twisted under hi
ear. and smiling trlumphantly, Mr.
Berninger emerged from the struggle
Il said I would" he remarked as
he settled his tie and smoothed dowr
/ his back hair.
Huh, you think you're smart, dom
you?" said Mrs. Berninger, as she
marched from the courtroom witt
/ dignity.
And Justice Orvis laughed.
