Old Home After Divorce.

Otd rome After DIVORCE
Under Danville (Va.) date the Chi
cago RecordHerald prints a special dis
patch revealing one of the strangest do
nestle romances ever recorded. 1t tells
how an ex-wife became a servant when

woman and how the love for her children
irduced the discarded spouse to act as a
mental in her old home. She prepared
the marriage supper and saw the couple
eff on their bridal tour. The dispatch
says: When John c. Puney was married

TIE. an attractive young school teacher.
his former wife. with whom he had lived
twelve years and from whom he was re-
Gently divorced, acted as the family cook.
With no audible complaint at the irony
of fate which had displaced her as mis-
tress of the home and reduced her to the
position of a menial she prepared the
wedding feast and carried off the situa-
ton With the demeanor of a stole. Her
period of abasement was not ended with
the days festivities, in which her success
sor took the leading part. She will re-
main with the family as its servant-at
least as long as she can endure the situa-
ton. When the happy couple started
away they left the children and the home
IL her care and the former wife says she
will remain as cook and general utility
woman when they return, for are not the
children there?

Particulars of the Capture.

StenSland, who has been travelling as
z. Olson, was arrested in the British
postoffice at Tangier. When Stensland
came to Chicago years ago he was con-
tent with his own family name, Paul
Olsen. When he acquired wealth he
added the name Stensland, explaining
that his identity would be confused
with that of other Paul OlsenS, and
signed himself Paul O. Stensland, the
o being all that remained of his fam
lily name. When he fed from Chicago,
July ii, he returned to the name he
had discarded. He was attaching it to
a request that his mail be forwarded
from the British p0stoffice in Tangier
to Mogador Morocco, when he was ac-
costed by Assistant States Attorney
Olson, who said: Il am Olson. Sign
your own name, Stensland."
The two having known each other
casually several years, Stensland made
no attempt to deny his identity. He
was thunderstuck when accosted, but
he soon regained his composure, and
accompanied Mr.. Olson to the United
States legation, where he is being held
prisoner.

HORRIBLE TORTURE

his back until the flesh was cut and
he tainted, but he remained steadfast
in his last statement He was allowed
to. recover and was fed we'll. Again he
was "examined." Men wearing large
Texas spurs jumped upon his PROSTATE
and bleeding body. He screamed in
pain, and begged for mercy He said
he had told all he knew. He prayed
aloud in his cell, asking God to assist
the officers in their search for the
guilty persons, in ord er that he might
be cleared The authorities did not be-
lieve his story. He was tortured again.
This time moose was prepared and
he was strung up until his eyes bulged
from their sockets so horribly that
even the hardened officers of Texas
justice turned away. The boys tongue
protruded from between his swollen
lips and he lost consciousness, and
when he recovered, still steadfast, he
lay near death for weeks.
Gov. Lanham then ordered Texas
rangers, under Capt. Mcdonald, to
save the boy from further torture.
officers and guards had started with
the boy across country to escape
iynching, and the boy escaped. He
was retaken by squad of rangers,
and Capt. Mcdonald reached the con-
clusion that the boy was innocent
Monk Gibson was indicted on the
charge of murder, and his trial was
transferred to San Antonio. His neck
was saved by the fact that the bloody
imprint Of hand on board of the

to the imprint of his hand
Capt. Mcdonald, veteran Texas
ranger, was sent by Gov Lanham to
Investigate the murder The minute
he set eyes on Felix Powell and his
crooked little finger, misshapen by
felon, Mcdonald asked for his arrest.
The ranger found bloody shirt hid
den under culvert. 1t was too large
for Monk Gibson and he had blood on
the shirt he was wearing when ar
rested. When Mcdonald produced the
shirt, tied in a bundle, Powell said:
THAT amt my shirt"
How did you know it was a shirt ?"
asked the ranger. Didn't your moth
er sew on these buttons?"
The negro looked askance and re-
piled: Maybe she did. Did she say
so?"
The plans were laid to take an i'm
preston of Powell's hand, and it was
through an adroit arrangement that
the imprint was secured Camphor-
smoked paper was spread on a table
at the window, and then Capt. Nc
Donald asked: Who is that coon,
Felix?" pointing out the window 1t
was necessary for the prisoner to lean
over the table to see in the direction
indicated, and in doing this his hand
was so placed as to secure the desired
imprint. 1t correspondent exactly with
the bloody imprint on the Conditt
house.

Cut glass manufa cturers have in
troduced during the present year
many special services for certain
courses of dinner, and reports indi-
cate considerable eagerness on the
part of buyers in taking up these Of
ferings. The prediction is made that
next year the showrooms will contain
even more extensive lines of this sort,
and that entire dinner services of
glassware are not far away.
The larger and more elaborate dish
es for the table are ornamented with
scroll and geometrical figures in bold
designs. Louis XIV. cuttings, star
style in design, have proved quite SAL
able this year. The pieces are gener-
ally, light and have sharp scalloped
edges. Platters for meat, fish and
game are made oblong in shape, with
handles at either end and a broad
rim slanting upward. The bottom is
perfectly fiat, and the shape gives an
appearance of much depth.

comes in the shape of a grape leaf
with stem and standard, and is orna-
mented with vine pattern.-Jewel-
