WIFE DETECTIVE
Secured Good Proof of Her
Husbands Duplicity-
Sued for Divorce.

Pittsburg, Penn. January 24.-Mrs.
Florence p. Hildebrand, a good look
ing middle-aged woman of refined
appearance, who is suing her hus:
band for a divorce, to-day detailed
very amusing story in Court Of
how she played detective and got ev-
idence of the alleged duplicity of her
husband, w. e. Hildebrand.
Recently, Mrs. Hildebrand testified,
she was surprised on reading local
newspaper to see the advertisement
of a man who was hunting a wife and
was astonished to find the number of
her husbands private postoffice box
at Conemaugh as the place to adj
dress the advertiser. A letter from
the man at Conemaugh in quest of
a wife also contained a postcard
photograph and it was a most excel
lent likeness of Mr.. Hildebrand.
Last summer. she and her lawyer
went to the st. Charles Hotel and
scanned the register. They were re-
warded by finding upon the register
list the name of wv. e. Hildebrand
and wife" Mrs. Hildebrand recog-
nized the handwriting as that of her
husband and upon these facts the
divorce case was founded.
1t is said Hildebrand came back,
asked to see the register and while
looking at the page upon which his
name appeared, asked the clerk if
he could change a five-dollar bill
The clerk was accommodating, and
as he turned about to change the bill,
the man snatched the page from the
book and ran out of the building. Il
called the officer, who was at lunch,
and ran to the street, but he was
too far away by that time and we
haven't seen him yet" said the
clerk.
did he get the five-dollar bill
back?" asked Judge Shafer.
No, still have that" said the
clerk.
That's enough" said the Court,
and the case was closed.

cannot attempt to haul any supplies;
others are water-bound and it is i'm
possible to get orders filled. Many
people who live great distance
from greensboro and who depend on
country stores to furnish such food
are completely out of anything to eat.
These people are having much trou-
BILE, and some do not know what they
will have to eat for the next meal.
The people also, have been in the
habit of having corn ground at the
mills and exchanging it for other ar
ticles at the grocery, but at present
the grocer is unable to make an ex-
change.

It's a pleasure to tell our readers
about a Cough Cure like DR.. Shops.
For years DR.. Shoop has fought
against the use of Opium, Chloro-
form, or other unsafe ingredients
commonly found in Cough remedies.
DR.. Shoop, 1t seems, has welcomed
the Pure Food and Drug Law recent
ly enacted. for he has worked along
similar lines many years. For near
ly 20 years DIR. Shops Cough Cure
containers have had a warning print
ed on them against Opium and other
narcotic poisons. He has thus made

their children by simply insisting on
having DR.. Shops Cough Cure.

for the animal to be cared for at the
expense of the magisterial district, No
8, of that county. The document is
perhaps the only one on record of
it's kind and reads as follows:

SunflOwer Philosophy.

When a letter jumps from the first
to the fourth page and then back to
the second, it never says anything
very important.
A man who would scorn to lie about
his neighbors will cheerfully lie about
his country and regard himself as
something of a reformer for doing it.
Some people are so stubborn and so
contrary that you can only convince
them they are wrong by agreeing with
them.
1t is a hard matter for man who
believes as you do to carry his ideas
to the extreme where you will call
him fanatic.
About six months after man has
married he begins to discover that he
has to get twice as mad as formerly
to have his wrath count for half as
much.
When a stranger arrives in a coun-
try town and remains more than two
days without telling his business peo-
pie agree that he is either a detect
i've or a gambler.
Let love come to young girl and
she begins to neglect her appearance,
saving all her new-clothes money for
the wedding outfit, but when love
comes to an older woman there APP
pears more curled hair, younger
clothes and more powder.

THE FARMERS WIFE.
A Tribute to Her Help and In
fluence in the Bust
ness World.

Mr.. ]. Rogers Gore, editor of the
Springfield Sun, pays the following
beautiful tribute to the Farmers
Wife:
Newspapers are printing columns
of news aad editorials every day
about the farmer and his tobacco
crop, his corn crop and his wheat
crop. The mule market and the hog
market and the cattle market and the
wool market are being earnestly dis
cussed. We are trying to shove them
up a notch; we are endeavoring to
better the condition of the farmer by
increasing the prices of these things.
And it's a duty and a pleasure to be
thus engaged. When the farmer is
prosperous the country is prosper
Gus, but when the farmer is hard-run
business becomes stagnated, finan-
cial penics result and the Great Black
Cloud of Failure hovers over every
community.
What a big fool the business man
is who refuses or neglects to assist
the farmer in his efforts to build up
and strengthen the market for his
products.
But while we are discussing ways
and means of putting the business af-
fairs of the farmer upon sound and
equitable basis, let us NOT FORGET
the Farmers Wife-that power be-
mind the throne, that hidden hand"
which frequently cancels the mort
gage and meets the note. Let us not
forget her! She who gathers in the
half-drowned chicks and "drys them
out" by the kitchen stove; she who
watches the puny pigs, treats 'em
with tonics of butter milk, and blue
stone tea, brings 'em out of the kinks,
puts that healthy grunt and squeal
into 'em, and sees them tip the beam
in the fall of the year at 300 or 400
pounds, and finally sold at a good,
round price. LET US NOT FORGET
HER! She is important She is the
handspring that keeps all hands
a-movin'. She furnishes the "eX-
tras" with her butter-and-egg-money,
and when her turkeys are disposed of
she buys the admin field"
The farmers wife! She's hero

BABIES SAVE HOMES
Says Wise Chicago Judge-COnclu-
Si0nS That Bear Him Out
on the Subject.

Chicago, Jan.21. Judge Willard Nc
Even, who is hearing divorce cases
at the rate of one hundred a month,
delivered himself of these conclusions
to-day:
That babies are home savers.
That every well-regulated family
should have from three to six babies.
That the divorce age is from thirty
to forty.
That childless marriages breed con-
tempt between husband and wife.
That lack of babies induces drunk
enness, desertion and laziness.
That "incompatibility of temper"
really means there's another man or
woman in the case.
when a husband and wife agree
to separate, nine times out of ten the
husband will permit the woman to
get the divorce and she will allege
incompatibility of temper-back of
this nearly always there is some man
or woman who has broken up their
home" said Judge McEwen.
A table kept by Judge McEwen the
last two months shows the following
to be the causes for DEGREES which he
has granted to the 200 persons who
have appeared before him:

He says:
The electricians report shows that

the cost Of manufacture Members Of
the electric light department admitted
they could not run economically for
less than $4,000 per year. but they
wanted $4,000. Under our contract
with the private company we light the
same number of lamps and more hours
