Guido in Age Deeds Which Usually Are
Associated with Passionate
Youth.
CHICAGO MAN TRANSFERS WIFE TO SON.
Stepmother Had Won Love of Youth. and Fa-
Their Resigns His Bride--MaritaE Mixups of
Two Eastern Millionaires.

The elder Twitchell sued, and Judge
McEwen decided in his favor. He
frankly admitted that he wanted his
wife to be happy, and for that reason
he was going to give her to his son.
Il am no hero" he said, with kind
ly smile, land l don't want too much
said about this, but you see l am Sc
years old and my wife Is only "a. 1t
is only natural that she should trans
fer her affections to my son Edward
am glad that they are happy, and |
shall be happy to know that they love
each other. love my boy and be-
lieve that the divorce Is the right
thing, inasmuch as my wife and 1
seemed incompatible"
Freedom Her One Thought.
So eager was the pretty girl from
Michigan to marry her husbands son
that she made no contest, though she
had lawyer to represent her. All she
wanted was her freedom-and her Ed
ward! She blushed as she owned up
to her love-the frank, honest blush
of a pretty girl who has at last found
out her real romance.
I'VE were married last December"
she said with just a little wistful
smile, land came to Chicago to live.
There l met Edward, my husbands
son. After the first week l was not
happy, l realized that l didn't really
love my husband. Our ideals were not
the same. One evening after dinner l
tainted. Edward rushed to catch me
in his arms. Then really knew which
one l loved"
''Well,' remarked the court, Ito
come to the point, you didn't care
whether your husband left you or
not?"
The little country girl hesitated. For
a moment her lips trembled and two
little tears coursed down her cheeks.
WELL" she faltered, Il guess don't
care much! No, am not sorry that he
wants to give me up. l have been en-
tirely Indifferent to my husband, and
l found it too hard to pretend to love
him when didn't really care for him."

track now"
Yes, that's it" sighed the little wife.

stands everything. have maintained
them both since them"
To-day both women feel the weight Of
the shadow upon their lives. Kiley has
told all. And that is where the case
stands now-the case of the three eld-
erly persons-the man we'll over 60,
each woman over 50-whose loves and
lives have been so sadly tangled.
And now, who shall say that ro-
nance is only for the young?

Queer Cause of Death.

Mankato.-An eight-penny nail In
the heart of COW belonging to Claus
Swanson, living in Lafayette. Nicol-
let county, was responsible for the
animals death. The animal had been
ailing for some time and its owner, be-
leiving 1t to be suffering from tubercu-
losis, killed it. After it's death an ex-
animation disclosed an eight-penny
nail imbedded lengthwise in its heart.
Holes in adjacent tissues showed that
the nail had been travelling about for
some time before it finally found lodg-
ment in the heart. 1t is not unusual
for small nails and bits of glass to
be found in the udders of cattle, but
this is the first case known where a
nail has been found in the heart or has
caused death.

well, but the result is most attractive
when the skilled one has finished her
work. How 1t is done we do not pre-.
ly hidden cores which come to mere
nothing at the waist and fare out most
bouffant below The designers of the
1906 spring gowns have certainly
shown much cleverness.
The loveliest flesh tones are seen in
millinery and gown materials, many
variations played on creamy pinks
and pinky creams. The so-called
banana" is something much more
charming than one would think from
the sound, and all the tans are In
highest favor, bid fair to rout the
much exploited grays Of earlier proph-
ecy. Biscuit color we have had with
us several years. but the biscuit-colored
cloth is as good this year as when
first brought forward. Fashion may
be capricious often, but she is not
wholly tickle, when she finds good
thing holds on to it longer than given
credit for.
A hat shining splendid from show
window the other day was lustrous
horsehair whose color was neither vel
low nor pink, but mingling Of both.
The long plume was decidedly straw
colored, the whole very beautiful
combination. This would be effective
either as a suit hat or to wear with
white lace gown. With black it
might prove too much Of a contrast.
1t is surprising how much velvet Is
to be used this spring and summer.
Short coats and boleros are to be made
of it, and it is employed extensively
for trimming. The idea appeals to
us, velvet is so generally becoming and
such beautiful fabric in itself. OF
light weight, lined with thinnest silk,
it need not be so very warm; the little
velvet coat may well have place In the
summer outfit.
The silk glove is fair rival to the
kid as accompaniment to the elbow
sleeve, and the shops are displaying
long silk gloves in about every con-
ceivable shade. They are most at
tractive and mold themselves to the
arm so prettily.

New York.-Thres men whose re-
cent romantic stories have made their
names household words are Thomas
W. Kiley Of Brooklyn, Capt. Nathan
Appleton or Boston, and Watson H
Twitchell of Chicago.
Elderly, rich, and known as keen
practical business men, they have gone
70 greater lengths for the women OF
their hearts than ever STRIPPING did
They have done for love what few
youngsters would do. Between them
they make up a veritable trio of ro-
nance.
They are men of affairs, each In his
own city. Not for moment would
anyone believe them anything but
hard-headed business men. Yet what
they have dared is remarkable-these
three men whom everybody believed
beyond the age when Cupid calls his
soudest.
Thomas w. Kiley married the
laughter of his benefactor because she
loved him, and he thought his first
Uife dying. Appleton met his affinity
aud is now preparing to divorce his
arst wife. But most remarkable of all
Is Twitchell. He gave up his bride
bis second wife-to his son, because
he loved them both, and wanted to
See them happy.
And first, then, this remarkable ro-
nance OF the Twitchells.
Bertha May was a pretty little coun-
try girl who lived in a quiet little
Michigan town, when Watson H.
Twitchel, widower, with son "a years
old, came there on a business visit.
He met charming Miss Bertha and fell
head over heels in love with her-this
gray-haired business man of S.
She Wanted to See the World.
He told the ambitious little girl from
Michigan of the pleasures of life in
Chicago. When he asked her to mar
~ him she thought that her desire to
see the world-that is, what of it that
can be seen in Chicago-was really
love. So the old man with the grown
up SON and the unsophisticated little
girl from Michigan were married. The
proud bridegroom brought his dainty
bride back home to Chicago, and there

The Man with Two Wives.
Thomas w. Kiley, president of the
North Shore bank, of Brooklyn, and
millionaire head of Thomas w. Kiley &
Co., hardware merchants, is well along
toward life's winter. He is to-day "a
years old. 1t has just transpired that
for three years he has maintained two
homes, and in each a woman who
thought herself his wife. He married
the second one three years ago when
he believed his first wife dying.
She lived, instead.
Here was strange quandary for the
man. He had two wives, each appar-
emily married to him by every right of
law. But let him tell the story him

No. POI Jefferson avenue, Brooklyn,
and another at No. ZIG Brooklyn ave-

IT was called to the bankers con-

1903, and / asked Mrs. Flora H. Colt to
go with me, whom l had loved when
we were young. When we left Brook
lyn my wife was extremely i'll at home,
and not expected to live. On the way
out west l talked the matter over at
great length with Mrs. Colt. Her father
had been my employer, my benefactor.
I had been a bachelor until was So
and then l married my brothers wild
ow when Flora Colts husband was
still alive.
Mrs. Colt knew how my heart stood
in the matter, and told her that
wanted to marry her. We both be-
lieved that my first wife would be dead
before we got back to Brooklyn. My
only excuse was that l was nervous
and overweight.

Brooklyn. l bought my second wife
the house on Brooklyn avenue, and

her that we would live publicly as man

Division of County.

warren.-Petitions for the division
OF Marshall county have been widely
circulated. The name of the new
county is to be Hiawatha, with Middle
River as the county seat.
The eastern part of Marshall county
does not favor the division, because
it will raise their tax levy. The west
ern part does not favor it because they
do not wish to lose the eastern terri
tory just as it is beginning to con-
tribute its proportion of the taxes
Those most vitality interested are the
townsite people of Middle River. It
bids fair to be a hard fight with the
chances in favor of the defeat of the
project.

WOULD SUPPRESS
Street GAMBLING
BUSINESS MEN APPEAL TO
COUNCIL
Prompt Action Taken on Mayors Ad-
mission That Police Were Unable
to Stop Children From
Shooting Craps

The admission of Mayor McAleer,
made at the meeting Of the police COM
mission last Tuesday, that he and his
police commission and police force
could not stop gambling in the city, had
brought forth a petition signed by
many of the most prominent residents
and business men of os Angeles, ask
ing that an ordinance be passed to at
least prohibit "crap shooting" among
the young in the streets, alleys and
public parks.
The petition declares that gambling
among the young has become so pre-
Valent as to be a serious menace to the
future of the city and that the vice,
especially the form known as "crap
shooting" is permitted, almost unre-
strictedly, on the public streets and in
parks where respectable people gather.
1t is declared to be no uncommon
sight to see a crowd of street urchins,
most of them newsboys, gather at the
corner of an alley and with pair of
dice gamble away the pennies they
have earned by selling papers, Little
boys. scarcely old enough to be out of
sight of parents and guardians, daily
roll the festive dice, frequently losing
the few cents that many of them de-
pend on for their daily bread In these
games it not infrequently happens that
The older boys take advantage Of their
smaller competitors and practically rob
them.
Wee Gambler Is Swindled
An instance is cited of a little fellow,
whose years OF life could not have ex-
