R0THWELL'S PRETTY SCHEME

SPOUSE QUICKLY GETS ONTO JOB

If the story told in an affidavit filed
in Judge Griffin's court at Seattle is
true. A. F. Rothwell, of Seattle, has
shipped his wife to Michigan, and
while she is there without money
enough to get back here, he is sueing
her for divorce.
According to the affidavit, Mrs.
Rothwell concluded some time ago that
she would like to go back to Michigan
and see her folks. The enthusiasm
with which her husband Endorsed the
idea should have made her suspi-
cous, but it did not
For the next few days Mr.. Roth
we'll was the busy boy, arranging the
details for his wife's trip. Among
other things. he had a swell lunch put
up in a basket
Mr.. Rothwell had calculated upon
the quantity of the lunch down to the
last crumb. He had arranged it SO
that his wife should take the last
sandwich out of the basket just as the
train was pulling into the little town
in Michigan that she intended to visit
Then came the awakening.
Tucked under the paper with which
the basket was lined was a neatly
folded complaint for divorce that Mr..
Rothwel had sworn to before kissing
his wife goodbye and putting her on
the train, with many solicitations for
pleasant journey. Mrs. Rothwell al
leges that, in addition to serving her
with divorce papers in the bottom of
the lunch basket her husband had
given her just enough money to reach
the old home in Michigan, with the
implied understanding that he was to
send her funds from time to time dur
ing her absence.
Wife Is Stranded.
Now she is stranded in Michigan.
She can not come back to Seattle to
defend the suit, but mail trains pass
through the Michigan town, and one
of them brought a letter to an attor-
ney here reciting her wrongs. The at
torney went before Judge Griffin this
morning and read the affidavit.
Judge Griffin ordered Mr.. Rothwell
to pay his wife SO week to carry on
the suit. The judge did not consider
that Mr. Rothwell could afford to pay
the fare of his wife back to Seattle in
a lump sum, but if Mrs. Rothwell is
thrifty she may be able to save the
price of the fare out of her allow
ance of $40 per week and come back
here to face her husband in court.
Mr.. Rothwell in his complaint al
leges that his wife dressed too ex-
travagantly to suit his income, and
that she squandered his money. Her
fondness for dances in which Home
Sweet Home" was not played until
after the last car also caused him
much mental anguish, and decided him
to ship her to Michigan.

SPAIN TIRING OF ALFONSO
He Is a Good-Hearted Lad, But of
Little Use to the Needy
Nation.

Madrid.-The Spaniards are busy
just now trying to make out whether
they really have "a good king" or
simply "a good-hearted king" There
is no doubt that young Alfonso's love
for Spain and the Spaniards is sincere,
but, so far, he has not been capable
of doing anything practical for his
people.
AS matter of fact, the condition of
the poorer classes is more pitiabIe
than. ever, and in some regions, espe-
cially in Andalusia, the belief rapidly
is gaining ground that the son of
Alfonso XII. and Maria Christina of
Austria is not the right man in the
right place.

The endorsement of Hearst's democracy
and of his leadership in New York was
the first rock on which the convention
was split. Neither Bryan nor Hearst was
supported for the next presidential NOM

governor, almost drowned out the Bryan
delegates.

from the platform a plank which would
