DUKE DIVORCE CASE.
SIeuth Related Tales Of Mrs. Duke
Taking Auto Rides.

Vice Chancellor Pitney began in
Newark yesterday the hearing in the
famous suit for divorce brought by
James b. Duke, the millionaire to-
bacco king, against his wife, Lillian
n. Duke. The suit was commenced
last September after only nine
months of welded life, and created a
decided sensation in high life, both
in this state and New York City.
Frank T. Huntoon, a New York city
man, was named as correspondent.
Mrs. Duke fought the suit first on
the ground that the Dukes were legal
residents of New York, their magnil-
cent mansion at Somerville, this
state, being only their summer home;
therefore, the Jersey courts had no
jurisdiction. The court of chancery
decided this point against Mrs. Duke.
She appealed to the court of errors
and appeals, where the chancery de-
cision was upheld. This compelled
Mrs. Duke formally to answer her
husbands suit. ihe hearing began
yesterday and is on the main merits
of the case.

Nothing will take the place OF good

vital connection between amiability
and Observation-Disclosures good cheer and
assimilation, writes Orison SWEET Mar
den, in Success Magazine. Laughter is
the best friend the liver has, and de-
preston, or melancholia, its worst en-
envy. Numerous experiments have
shown that mirth and cheerfulness
stimulate the secretion of the gastric
juices, an are powerful aids TO diges-
ton. Yet, knowing this, many of us
sit as gloomy and absorbed at the table
as at Il funeral. In many homes,
scarcely a word is spoken at meals.

The meal hour ought to mean some

everybody appear at his best. 1t

- have no ticket, said the muzhik,
n%aiyely.
No ticket?' cried the conductor.
Then off you go. you scoundrel, at the

And at the next station, according
ly, the muzhik was put off with a
half dozen thumps in the ribs.
He waited till another Petersburg
train came along. he boarded this
train, too, and at the next station,
with more thumps in the ribs, he was
again put off.
"Cndaunted, he bearded the third
train and a third time he was beaten
and put off.
a passenger who alighted at the
same place was interested in the muz-
hik, and said sympathetically:
Where is it you are going, my
friend?"
The muzhik with a patient smile
replied:
Ito st. Petersburg, if my ribs will
stand it,"
