Blamed Without Blame
IorIgInal.l

IOrIglnall
Everybody knows that there was
something strange about my marriage.
Having recently been absolyed from a
pledge, | have concluded to tell the
story exactly as II occurred.
one summer went to the country
for rest from professional cares that
had been pressing too heavily OH me
and met a lady. Mrs. Treat whom
supposed to be widow We drove,
hoated and sang together, drifting
along companionably, not recognizing
that love would better describe the
situation, till the summer had ended
and we were on the eve OF separation.
Then found myself madly in love.
AS for the lady. her actions spoke for
her. She confessed to me that she was
not widow, but had husband liv-
Ing. She was willing to get divorce
from him to marry me-
had been bitter opponent Of di-
vorces and. being clergyman. had
preached against them. l therefore
felt 1t my duty to sacrifice myself to
principle and told Mrs, Treat that !
could not on any account marry a di-
vorced woman. My decision seemed to
be sad blow to her, but she would
not give me up. When we parted she
told me that we would yet be happy
together, but how that could be could
not see. for her husband was in the
best OF health and only a year older
than herself. begged for an explana.
ton, but she would give me none.
Some months later ON taking up d
morning paper | saw that Laura h.
Treat had secured a divorce from her
husband. Wallace X. Treat. on the
ground Of adultery. the said Wallace
Treat having lived for some time with
another woman who passed as his
housekeeper. He was rich man, hav-
ing made fortune by investing his
savings In the stock of a small corpora
ton that had been bought out by a
trust The court directed that he should
pay his wife alimony equal to one
third OF his income This made her
very comfortable IL not rich.
1t was not long after seeing this no
tlce that I yecelved letter from Mrs.
Treat informing me that she had some
thing to communicate. replied that
] had already read in newspaper
what she had to tell me and that while
did not blame her for getting her di-
vorce would certainly blame myself

long preached by marrying divorced

before, but never so well as my self
respect. III reply TO this letter she
wrote that had not read all she had
TO say to me and that she wished TO
see me. II she could not convince me
that a marriage with her would be
consistent with my principles she
would not ask me to visit her again.
TO fortify my resolution ! preached

Investigation viii take many months
and maybe years Every phase 81 the

Of Grand Jury inquiry. Alr, Jerome
does not intend that the investigation
shall be lapiiazard one and action will
be taken only in cases where, in the
opinion Of the district attorney, there
Is sufficient evidence To warrant d CON
vietion by \ trial jury
Among lawyers aud insurance men
there was some speculation Tuesday as
20 inst who're Richard A. McCurdy, for
iner president OF the Mutual Life Insur-
anee Company, stood in the investiga-
ton. II was hard for some persons 70
understand how McCurdg had escaped
when Granniss and Gillette had been
charged with crimes BY The Grand Jury.
In view of the fact that Andrew q.
Fields, the legislative agent, Of the Mn-
tual, testified before the special grand
jury under promise OF immunity, there
has been a good deal Of guessing as To
whether the names of legislators who
have eo-operated in his legislative work
would lie brought out 1T il almost a
foregone conclusion that the names Of
few, ii any, legislators viii come within
the scope Of the inquiry.
This investigation, said Mr.. Jerome

Cheap and Easy to Trnnsport-Has
No other Advantage.
Experiments at the Illinois station
testing the relative merits of the dry
and wet sprays in apple orchards have
extended oyer three seasons, and some
Of the conclusions are as follows.
With regard 10 the effects upon foil
age the results We're Identical in all
orchards and in all seasons Trees
sprayed with liquid bordeaux aud paris
green retained their foliage in healthy
working condition throughout the sea-
son. Dust sprayed and check trees
may be placed together. because the
behavior OF foliage was the same III
both. Leaves began falling in July,
and In early September these trees
were practically denuded. This loss of
foliage by dust sprayed aud check
trees was due to apple seab. against
which disease the dust spray was en-
tirely ineffective. The effects OF this
loss Of foliage are very serious. The
assimllatory processes Of trees are
active in proportion TO the working leaf
surface. As leaves fall these processes
diminish until brought to a stop by the
entire less Of foliage, long before the
work OF the season should normally
end The fruit IL starved, does not APP
preach normal size and buds for tile
next year cannot be properly developed
Ineffective Against scsb.
II also frequently happens that un-
der the stimulus OF ralas and high tenn
peratures IN October leaf buds OF the
dcfoliated trees that normally should
remain dormant until spring unfold and
expand clusters Of new leaves This
renewed and abnormal activity of the
trees affects fruit buds also. A consid-
cradle portion Of them have been OBJ
served to swell aud some expand the
flowers. All this is greatly to the detri-
ment of the trees and fatal TO the crop
for the next year.
Differences in fruit We're as marked
as were differences In foliage Liquid
sprayed trees gave smooth fruit OF
good size Dust sprayed aud check
trees gave small, Ill formed fruit, bad
~ marked by scab and OF very little
value even ais evaporation stock.
Dust spray is - per cent cheaper
than liquid spray. and II Is easier 20
transport about the orchard. IL has
no other advantages.
