PARIS BEAUTY HAS STRANGE HABIT
Swallows Strangers Money but Is
Forced to Disgorge at thu Police
Station.

PARIS, NOx. I'm a restaurant on
the Mont Matre last night, where city
officials and opera stars are well
known and Americans are sometimes
seen, a lawyer drew a louis from his
pocket to pay for refreshments, where
upon a young woman of engaging
manner approached, and announcing
herself as Fetishist, asked permits
sion to bite the coin for good luck.
The lawyer was complaisant, but the
girl, instead of biting the coin swal-
lowed it. Despite alluring smiles, the
lawyers countenance changed to re-
sentiment. He called for policemtn
and the girl was arrested.
At the station house the commissary
ordered emetic. Then, to the con-
sternation Of those present there
came into view, not a louis, but two
ten franc pieces. The commissary
urged a second effort, and the patient
rid herself, not of one but two coins
Of the desired denomination. Then
she was locked up. The police have
learned that she had been practic-
ing her game with great success. Most
Of the victims smiled when the coins

California law is more strict than
ours, and Philadelphia, with her MIL
lion odd inhabitants, classes behind
Seattle in the matter Of divorces.
Four hundred and fifty-seven I'M
contested divorces were granted In this
city last year by the superior court.
One-half as many contested DEGREES
were granted, making the total num-
Der 67S. Estimating Seattle's popu-
lation at 100000, we have one divorce
each year for every 293 persons in the
city. Last year there were 2.eS7 mar
rage licenses issued in this county.
For every third marriage license there
was a divorce decree. This record
cannot be rivaled in any city in the
United States. Students Of our ma
tional morals will pronounce 1t a rec
ord unequalled in the annals OF the
nation, a record Of shame brought by
divorce laws that are a farce and by
an administration Of them that is
farcical.
