IOWA COURT RELEASES HER
FROM MARITAL BONDS.
PEOPLE COME TO RESCUE
Husband Sold Her With Laundry but
She Objected and Sought the
Courts-Coupe Married Several
Years Ago--OnIy Case Ever Known
in Iowa.

Britt, Ia, March 18-The news of
this place has had the distinction OF
publishing an original notice the like
of which has never appeared in any
other newspaper in the state, being
the notice of divorce proceedings
brought by Mrs. May Pond Fong Tin
against Fong Ting.
Mrs. Fong Tin was brought to Amer
lea when she was only II years old
and was educated in a missionary
school, She finally drifted to Vinton,
this state, and there married Fong
Tin, laundryman. The marriage was
what is termed a common law mar
riage and the ceremony was according
to the Chinese custom, without a Ii
cense They came from Vinton to
Britt eight years ago and lived peace
fully together until four years ago
when Fong Tin sold his laundry to an
ether Chinaman and, according to
Chinese custom, also bargained to sell
his wife. When the purchaser tried
to enforce the bargain Mrs. Fong Tin
objected, and when the citizens Of
Britt were informed of the situation
and learned the particulars, the Chi
naman was glad to get out of town
with a sore head and lucky to have
Jared no worse. Mrs. Fong Tin has
since conducted the business, and her
husband has never returned.
In order to protect her property
and make transfers if she desired
Mrs. Fong Tin made application for a
divorce The decree was granted and
Mrs Fong Tin will now drop the Tin
and hereafter be known as Miss May
Pond Fong. She is an intelligent, in
dustrious little woman, is a Christian
and is trying to conform to American
ways

A Menace for Eskimo.

The white hunters rarely make use
of anything but the two long, curved
tusks with which the animal is
equipped and which average about
five pounds to the pair. To many of
the Eskimo, especially on the Arctic
shore, the walrus is almost a neces-
sity Of life, and the devastation
wrought among the herds b. the
whalers has been and is yet the cause
of fearful suffering and death to many
OF the natives. who have thus been
deprived of one of their staple neces-
stiles for existence.
The flesh is food for men and dogs; ;
the oil is also used for food and for
lighting and heating the houses; the
skin, when tanned and oiled, makes a
durable cover for the large skin boats;
the intestines make waterproof cloth
ing, window covers and floats; the
tusKs are used for lance or spear
points or are carved into a great vari-
ETY. CT useful and ornamental objects,
and tue bones are used to make heads
for spears and for other purposes.
at the present time the Kuskoquim
district is the only one in which the
walrus is often seen, and each year
sees their race rapidly vanishing be-
fore the rapacity of Metropoli-
tan Magazine.

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Prother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

DOCTORS PrOther IhOuSnu Fostum
Was Coffee.
A wise doctor found out coffee was
hurting him so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, a clergy
man, one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum trial,
and we have used it-now for four years
with continued benefit. IN fact, he is
now free from the long train of ills that
follow coffee drinking.
ITO show how successful we are In
making Postum properly, I will relate
an incident At "a dinner we gave,
Doctor suggested that we serve Post
UNI instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother, a Clergyman, sup
posed it was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his second
cup, If you do preach against coffee
see you haven't forgotten how to make
it,"
This goes to show that well-made-
fully boiled-Postum has much the fla
vor and richness of good coffee, al
though it has an individuality all its
own. A ten days trial will prove that
it has none of the poisonous effect OF
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's a
reason" Name furnished by Postum

PAY OF LEGISLA-
TORS.

Now at last, in view of the large
ance, seems to have come a time when
is fully justified an augmentation of
legislative salaries. A constitutional
amendment is necessary to render eff
fective the proposed change, and thus
the question must go to the electorate
for solution. Before that tribunal
fear may we'll be felt regarding the
result Voters proverbally are of
conservative, economical tendencies;
but when, into careful consideration
is taken existing circumstances, there
really should be no doubt of the
nature of the decision.
Not only are living expenses greater
than ever before, but sessions are
longer, and senators and assembly
men are now deprived of those free
transportation privileges by means Of
which they were enabled in the old
days to travel freely between home
and capital giving personal attention
to private business at one place and
many members, perhaps accompanied
by wives, come to Madison in early
January and remain throughout the
entire winter, at a cost easily equal
ling, if not exceeding, the salaries due
for official services. Such situa-
ton must often imply additional ex-
penditures at the home end for help
rendered necessary by the absence of
the master.
If it is the design of the common
wealth that its lawmakers shall OBJ
tain compensation at least sufficient
for simple maintenance while engaged
in the service it is obvious that the
time is here when a change in the
constitutional limitation of $500 is
imperative.
