His Barometer.

He thought the times were out of
joint:
This was the reason why
He had line of gold bricks fine.
And no one came to buy.
Although he made bargain rate,
He couldn't understand
The reason why good men were shy
And left his stock on hand.
He heard prosperity was hero
With plenty in its mitt,
But he was shy of supply,
And much he doubted it.
Though men in many other lines
In profits took delight,
He still picked flaws in things because
The suckers would not bite.
The game that one time brought him
cash
Now only brought him woe,
For suckers who looked good were few
And wouldn't try a throw.
No wonder he was sad of heart,
Forlorn and had the blues
And prone to fret. He couldn't get
What seemed his honest dues.
IT'S thus we gauge prosperity
And call it very fine
When all the fish that we could wish
Are dangling on our line,
But with long range telescope
Its form we could not spy
If suckers only came to grin
And wink the other eye.

The dear public has been bunkoed SO

have been paid from funds of the canal

SECOND UNIONS OF PERSONS

LAWS ARE LAX IMPERIL THE

Many families in New York and New

day when they learned of the decision

which declares that thousands of divorces
are illegal and that children born of mar
riages that followed are illegitimate.
The principle established is that a
State cannot grant a divorce when only
one party to the marriage is resident
within its jurisdiction.
This is a blow to all Dakota divorces
and all divorces secured in Newport,
where society women have fiocked inre-
cent years ITO rid themselves of objection.
able mates.
The decision was by vote of FIVE to
four, Justices Harlan, Brewer, Brown
and Holmes dissenting.
1t is estimated that at least 10000
children are affected by the opinion.
These are the offspring Of marriages bas-
ed on divorces granted where but one
of the parties resided in the State issu-
ing the decree of separation. Justice
White rendered the majority opinion.
The case at issue before the Washing
ton court was that of John W. Haddock
against Harriet Haddock. 1t came up
on appeal from the New York courts.
The Haddocks We're married in 1868.
The husband claimed to have been an
unwilling participant in the ceremony.
He says in his answer to the woman's
complaint that he left her Immediately
after the marriage rites were performed,
and during all the time that has inter-
yened has seen her only three times. In
1881 he secured a divorce in Connecticut,
where he then resided, and in 1882 was
married there to another woman. The
New York Supreme Court held the Sec
ond marriage to be illegal and decreed
the first wife to be still the legal wife,
and directed Haddock to pay her annuity
of $3.50. That finding was sustained by
to-day's decision, which held that Mrs.
Haddoek was without the jurisdiction of
the Connecticut court.
