PECULIAR CASE is DECIDED.
sioamist's First Wife Gets Half Of
Estate and Second Nothing.

Wichita, Kan.-Federal Judge Pol
lock has rendered a decision in an
unusual case that came up from
Comanche county 1t was the result
of a bigamous marriage by James Nc
Laughlin.
Mclaughlin was an old soldier who
deserted his wife in Pennsylvania,
and, coming to Kansas with young
woman named Annie Scott, married
her and lived with her 80 years, raising
eight children. Upon his death the
second wife, who says she knew moth.
ing Of his previous marriage, applied
for a pension, and this led to the dis.
covery Of wife No. /.
The court decided that the Penn.
sylvania wife was entitled to half the
estate and that McLaughlin's children
by his second wife were entitled to
the other half, while the second wife
was entitled to nothing, though it was
largely through her efforts that the
property was accumulated.

IIse of penatured Alcohol.

Not alone among automobilists, en-
gineers and men of commercial pur-
suits generally is there a deep cur
rent of interest apparent in the PROB
lem of the adaptability of denatured
alcohol to their several needs, but
among all classes in all walks OF life,
and housewives in particular, one
finds an assertive inquisitiveness as
to how and when cheap alcohol is to
be afforded to the public. The United
States commissioner of internal rev.
enue has just returned from tour
of Europe, made to study the free
alcohol problem as it appears there,
and he brings some enlightening in
formation. He says that nothing has
been settled yet as to the kind OF de-
naturant to be used in this country.
In Great Britain and France he found
that wood alcohol and mineral naph'
tha were used, rendering the spirits
unfit for drinking. IN Germany com-
position of wood alcohol with bone
oil was employed, but which if either
or any of these will be used as de-
naturant here the commissioner was
unable to state. He further declared
that denatured alcohol has by no
means supplanted gasoline in Europe,
and said that the only automobiles
propelled by spirits, so far as his OBJ,
seryations went, were in Germany.
Nevertheless, says the Troy Times, he
appears to be confident that in time
this country will be enabled to teach
the world much about the possible use
Of alcohol. The free alcohol act, so
called, will go into effect here Jan
uary /.

What Is Realism? ?

Probably the simplest definition eX-
plains realism as the attempt to see
and depict the world as it is I'm
fortunately, this is meaningless Every
man sees his own world, and If he
depicts it as it is there is little like.
lihood Of its being the same as the
world of anybody else. We shall be
on safer ground if we say that realism
is the attempt to depict the world
as the ordinary man sees it, the ay-
eragc, commonplace man. Although
not q novelist, says Gamaliel Brad
ford, Jr., in Tho Reader, the typical
realist of literature is Pepys. The
Homer of the commonplace, he eX-
presses the emotions and experiences
of the average man with a natural
ness, fidelity possible only TO one
who is an average man himself--and
nothing else. But the artist is, by
definition, rot the average, common
place man, and when he tries to be
a thoroughgoing realist his artists
genius is perpetually getting between
HE legs and tripping him up.

COFFEE TRUST IN BRAZIL.
Price of South American Product to
Be Increased.

New York.--The financing OF Bra
zil's coffee valorization plan has been
arranged. Bankers and merchants,
internationally known and all identl'
fed with the .coffe trade, will advance
the money needed-about $2OOO0,OOO.
The bankers and merchants are To-
Gated in New York, London, HaVIe
and Hamburg.
The object of the coffee valorization
plan is to maintain coffee at re-
munerative price to the grower by
establishing a minimum quotation at
which it is to be upheld by purchases
of coffee on account Of the three
states of Brazil-Sao Paulo, Rio and
Minas. Interest on the loans made
is guaranteed and paid by a tax on
every bag of coffee shipped.
The three contracting states bind
themselves to maintain in the native
markets a minimum price Of 30 to 30
milreis per bag of 60 kilos for the first
year. This price is to be gradually
raised after the first year to a maxi
mum of 40 milreis.
The contracting states bind them
selves to restrict or discourage by dis
eliminating taxation the expectation
of coffee of inferior grades and they
further bind themselves to pass laws
preventing the extension of coffee acre
age for two years after Jan. /, 1907.

engineering logic and experience Oh

over the mystery Piazzi Smith

nothing of a practical nature has

it is expected to last forever. No

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of u wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained Won
dcrful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinllham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, If we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief OF these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia +. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
Of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia Z. Pinliham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

with their mother, combined forces to
