THE COFFEE PLANT.
A Native OF Abyssinia That Was
Transported to Arabic.

"A Native Oh ADySS1n12 V0aV was
Transported to Arabic.
The origin Of coffee is lost in the
mists Of antiquity, but the plant is be-
lieved to be native of Abyssinia and
to have been carried thence into Arabia
early in the fifteenth century, whence
the Meccan pilgrims soon carried it to
all parts Of the Mohammedan world.
A bureau Of commerce and labor pub
Hcation notes tl.at Burton in his ''Anat-
omy of Melancholy Q62D makes this
reference to 1t: TURKS have a drink
called coffee, so named from q berry
black as SCOT and as bitter, which they
sip up hot because they find by expert
ence that that kind of drink SO used
helpeth digestion and promoteth alac-
rlty.'
Although brought to Venice by ply
sician In 1891, 1t was only Ia 1862 that
the first coffeehouse was established
In London, and It only became fashion
able in Paris in 1869, says the same
authority. England gradually forsook
coffee for tea, but the progress of the
beverage, though slower, was steadier
in France
Until. 1906, when the Dutch began to
successfully grow coffee trees in Java
from the Malibar Qndia) bean, all cot
fee came from Arabia, The coffee cul-
ture Of the West Indies and Central
and South America had its beginnings,
it is said, in a slip taken from tree in
the botanic gardens at Paris, which
had obtained a vigorous growth from a
cutting said to have been stolen from
the botanic gardens at Amsterdam. All
the plantations Of the old and new
world are practically derived from the
specimens taken from Arabia, first to
India, thence to Java and elsewhere.

MRS. KING DIVORCED
Wife Of Leroy King a Famous Ke-
nosha County Convict Gets
a Divorce at Waukegan
HUSBANDS PLEA is USELESS

Mrs. Leroy King, wife of Leroy
King former Pleasant Prairie man,
who was released from the state
prison short time ago after serving
term Of eight years, was granted a
decree of divorce from her former
convict husband in the circuit court
at Waukegan on Wednesday after
noon.
The King family was formerly one
of the best known in the town of
Pleasant Prairie, but eight years ago
King was arrested on charge of
assau1ting little girl. He declared
that he was innocent of the charge,
but was convicted by a jury and
sentenced to the state prison at
Wanpun for long term.
After he had served nearly eight
years petition for his pardon was
circulated by his wife and other
friends and it was found that there
was some doubt as to his guilt. Be
fore this petition for pardon was pre-
sented Mrs. King filed a suit in Lake
county for divorce. This action was
considered unusual for during the
long trial of King his wife had been
his staunchest supporter. She de-
c1ared from the outset that she be-
lieved her husband innocent of the
charge and that the action of the jury
could not shake her belief.
When King was released from
prison he heard with surprise and
chagrin of the action for divorce and
went at once to Lake county and
sought an interview with his wife in
hopes of being able to arrange a
reconciliation. For time King re-
NAMED in the same neighborhood as
the wife, but she declined to take him
back. It is stated that King is heart
broken as a result of the decision of
his wife to divorce him, but he did
not make any contest in court. King
is now living in Chicago, and it is
stated that he is a steady workman
and bears good reputation.

AFTER MANY YEARS
Mrs. Louise Bohnsack Granted a
Divorce After IS years Of
Married Life
OLD COUPLE HAVE SEPARATED

After trudging along the path of
married life for more than thirty-fve
years, and after raising a family to
manhood and womanhood and ac-
cumu1ating modest competency,
Herman Bohnsack and his wife,
Louise Bohnsack, prominent German
residents of the town of Wheat1and,
have decided to quit and in the cir
cult court in Racine on Wednesday
Judge Belden handed down a iudg-
ment granting decree of divorce to
Mrs. Bohnsack
In the complaint it was stated that
Bohnsack and his wife were married
in Prussia, Germany, in 1870, and
they came to this country just after
they we're married and settled in the
town of Wheat1and where they had
resided ever since. They lived on a
farm near SHADES Corners and the
farm was considered one of the most
Z valuable in the neighborhood.
In the complaint filed by Mrs. Bohn-
sack she charges her husband with
cruel and inhuman treatment, and in
the answer made by the husband he
brings similar charges against the
wife. For more than quarter of a
century the couple lived in harmony.
but during the last ten years the
household gods had been torn down
and the wife alleged that her husband
had spent much of his time in Bur-
1ington and other cities in the neigh
borhood.
The children of the old couple are
ali above the age of twenty one years
and all have found homes for them
selves. In their old age the wife and
husband will separate. Bohnsack will
pay his wife $500 as a1imony and all
the costs of the action, and will re-
tain the possession of his farm. The
wife will go to make her home with
the children.
The separation of the old couple
after so many years of married life
has caused quite a sensation among
the people Of the town Of Wheatland.

A New Apn1ication Of scrtpturs.

a New zEDDIIclIIlOn on scTfDtuFs. :
There was rejoicing in the village at
the killing of pig. Being dead, it
was cut up. A neighbours cat stole Sc
cretly into the larder and annexed a
piece of pork, which she brought in
triumph to her mistress. Next day the
clergyman of the parish visited tile old
woman, who recounted to him the re-
markable sagacity of the beast. "It
was quite beautiful, sir" she said
piously, ito see the way the sweet
creature brought me the piece Of pork.
1t brought to my mind what we read
in the Bible about Elijah and the
ravens"

suMTER's FARMERS IN MEETING
Matters of Much Intereet Were Dis
cussed Here.

There was an enthusiastic meeting
yesterday morning of the Sumter di-
vision, Georgia Cotton Association,
and the interest evidenced indicated
that the farmers are pulling together
for mutual interest and protection IN
the sale of their great staple crop. Mr..
Cliff c. Clay, president of the local di-
vision, presided, with Capt. P. H.Wil-
liams as secretary. Several addresses
were made by members of the divis-
ion, and while no formal action was
taken thereupon it was the concensus
of opinion that the minimum price of
! cotton, ten cents, as fixed by the exec
utIye committee of the Southern Cot
ton Growers Association, was iuat and
fair and should be strictly adhered to.
There were fifty members of the local
division present at yesterdays meeting
and several new names were added to
the membership list Another meeting
