G. w. SABRE CITIZEN OF r. I
Complainant in Cnsc So Declared by
United states Court.

George W. Sabre is declared by the
United States Court to be a citizen OF
Rhode Island and theoretically entitled by
residence to bring the action he has
against the United Traction and Electric
Company, according to n decision handed
down by Judge Brown.
The opinion is on the plea of the de-
PENDANT corporation to Jurisdiction, the
claim having been set up by the de-
PENDANT that the complainant was not u
citizen OF Rhode Island, because he lived
for n part OF the year in Vermont
The court says 1t is not improbable that
the plaintiff should have decided TO
abandon his citizenship in Vermont and
resume his former citizenship in Rhode
Island. The fact that he has a house and
farm In Vermont and intends to pass
part of his time there Is declared to be
not inconsistent with his bona ide inten-
zion to become a citizen Of Rhode Island.
The court finds that he was q citizen of
Rhode Island at the time the bill was
fled and accordingly overrules the plea.

VIRTUES OF CEDAR CHESTS.
Give Immunity Against Moths Only
for Short Time.

1.-THE old-time cedar chests are com.
ing into favor again." says the man
ager Of department store. They
have never been entirely disused,
though the call for them has not been
brisk for many years. Still, once in
awhile, customer would come In
and refuse to be satisfied with any.
thing but a cedar chest The idea was
that the resinous odor Of the cedar
kept away moths, and that clothing
packed in a cedar box was forever Sc
cure against any damage by destruc-
tive insects. The notion, however. is
true only in part. A new cedar chest
does confer partial immunity for WOOL
en- goods; but in the course of a few
years, the cedar loses its fragrance
and IL no more Of protection than a
box made Of pine or any other wood.
But the idea cannot be got out of the
peoples heads that the odor of cedar
is the death of moths, and as long as
they believe 1t and also use plenty Of
camphor. as most Of them do. the be-
lief in the efficiency Of the cedar
does no possible harm"

FOR HAPPY MARRIED LIFE.
Good Manners Go Far to Preserve
Peace and Concord.

"A. great many people seem to think
that the marriage ceremony absolves
them from all further courtesies and
attentions to the person whom they
have wed. After that they are always
In negligee. both as to manners and
clothes, when they are at home This
II fatal mistake. Because q woman
II married is no excuse for her going
untidily about the house. and telling
her husband home truths that hurt his
vanity. Because . woman Is his wife
gives man no right to say things to
her he would not dare to say to any
other lady who possessed Q big. able
bodied brother. Good manners are the
preservation OF peace and concord,
and are warranted to keep happiness
In any climate. The problem of how
to be happy though married is really
no problem at all. No mystery should
ever have been made Of it. 1t is mere
ly fair dealing in fair partnership-
giving the other party the privileges
and perquisites you assume for your
self. and allowing the person you love
as much consideration and civility as
you would show stranger-New

A Woman's Rioht.

Whether the right to go through a
husbands pockets IL guaranteed by a
wife's marital endowment of all his
worldly goods. or whether 1t Is a con-
stitutional right In the pursuit of hap
piness. or whether II is just because
she needs the money and will have It,
right or no right. law or no law. this
essentially feminine privilege has long
been accepted Is one Of the necessary
evils Of married life, says q writer in
the Baltimore American. Few men
would take the matter into court even
with chance OF success, because the
pocket graft Is much cheaper in the
end than alimony. and few courts with
proper regard for their own dignity
would prohibit wives from going
through their husbands pockets,
since there 10 no earthly way Of pre-.
venting them.
