McC1ure,s Magazine calls DR..
Daniel Patterson, my e conc
husband, an itinerant dentist"
It says that after my marriage
we lived for a short time at Til
ton, then moved to Franklin.
During the following nine years
the Pattersons led rowing ex-
istence. The doctor practiced
in several towns, from Tilton to
North Groton and Rumney."
When 1 was married to him,
DR.. Daniel Patterson was locat-
ed in Franklin, N. H. He had
the degree D. D. S., was a popu-
lar man, and considered rarely
ski1ful dentist. He bought a
PLACE in Rumney, which he fam
cied, for a summer resort. At
that time he owned a house in
Franklin, N. H.

in court when the decision was
given by the judge and who
know the following facts. After
the evidence had been submitted
that a husband was about to
have DIR. Patterson arrested for
clipping with his wife, the court
instructed the clerk to record
the divorce in my favor.
What prevented DR.. Patter-
sons arrest was a letter from
me to this selfsame husband,
imploring him not to do it. I
When this husband recovered
his wife, he kept her a prisoner
in her home, and I was also the

MISS FLORENCE DAVIS,
At THE ELK'S OPERA HOUSE
TONIGHT. COME OUT.

Miss Florence Davis. the clever
little Commedienne, who Is appear
ing with Mr.. Elliott Dexter at the
Elks Opera House tonight, is the
heroine OF n pathetic story that has
never before APPEARED in print, and
she seldom speaks of it. While re-
hearsing in New York City, she was
the guest OF the Lambs Club at one
OF their rambles. The night was very
stormy and cold, the wind sweeping
the streets in icy blasts. In front of
the brilliantly lighted club house
she observed as she drew up in her
cab, the pathetic figure of an old
woman, lily clad, a ragged little
child of about seven years OF age
clinging to her skirts, shivering with
cold, and singing in wavering
cracked voice, Nearer My God, to
Thee" A crowd OF young rufians
were jeering and mimicing her. while
a number OF clubman were looking
from the window. Springing from the
cab, she quickly scattered them. be-
rating them soundly for their heart
lessness, admonishing them that 1t
would be more manly to help them.
han to stand and jeer, when one of
them asked her why she didn't give
them money, and she replied that
she would do more, that she would
make them give. And grasping the
hand of the child while the woman
knelt at her feet, she sang an Aria
from Handels Messiah, He Was
Despised." Needless of the falling
ain, and muddy streets, the jeers OF
The mob, and the open amusement
IF the clubmen, her fresh young
voice rose above the tumult Of the
itreets. and soon their jeers died

It the conclusion OF the song the
crowd OF hoodlums had changed to
5ymIhthetic men, and cheerfully
gave of their scanty means to aid
those whom they had so recently
ieered, while the clubmen literally

them away in the cab with more
money than they had had in long
time. 1t is such acts as these that

popular among her many friends. as

A prominent republican OF Taze-

terday. When asked whom he
thought would be the successor to

Clerk. he replied that though a re-

still, he recognized the fact that
Squire Graham might be very
formidable opponent to the nominee

worthy citizen, he should advocate
the appointment of Squire S. NJ.

And that is not saying that the
postofffce crowd did not play ball.
They did. They are batters of the
fisrt water, without ice, and can skin
basese like wallabies. with pitcher
who stars in the winter league and a
couple of other players whose names
figure in Aala Park league lineups the
postoffice people put forth a nine most
creditable to Postmaster Pratt.
That first inning when the letter
collectors went to the bat was some
thing of Waterloo for the beat
walkers. The "cops" put in Bob
Parker to twirI the sphere but his
arm was all in before ne started. The
star-routers scored four runs that in
ming, and the paikau disturbers scor-
ed lone tally. due to Joe Leal swat
ting a three Dagger and being brought
home on a single.
The mail distributors were held
down after that, that is, they were
not allowed to make as many as four
runs each inning, two being the limit.
Big Jose Peter of the police nine, the
man who covers his beat quicker than
any other man and the terror to
DRINKS, failed to connect up with the
ball in center field and was changed
to left field. But if Jose failed to line
out the sphere from the home plate
he had the crowd buffaloed. His grin
is the kind that won't wear off. Things
went bad for the patroliers until the
fourth inning when with two men
out, ''old-timer'' Lieut.. Luahiwa, who
was a star player ten years ago bat
ted out a home run, bringing in two
moro. Then in the sixth LeaI whacked
out a pretty fly past center and made
a home run and two more runs gave
the police an idea that they would
catch up with the mail people who
then had twelve runs to their credit.
That put the police up to nine runs
but in the last three innings neither
side scored.
: There were no accidents, the police
wagon was not called for at any time
during the game and no coroner
juries were necessary although Dep
uty Sheriff Jarrett was on hand for
emergencies. The postoff1ce people
were well represented, especially on
the roofing line. Postmaster Pratt
was on hand to cheer his men, and
when the game was over informed
them that it was time to get back
to the Office and work out the mail ar
irving on the Alaskan. Parker pitch

A CHINESE DAY
At AALA PARK
The Chinese Athletics Defeat
PaIamas and Al0has the
Japanese.

The baseball games at Aala Park
yesterday afternoon were both witness
ed by several thousand of interested
spectators. The first game, between
the Palama A. c. and the Chinese A.
c., was one of the most exciting games
ever played. After a close and hard
fought battle, the Chinese team man
aged to beat the natives by the score
of to 5.
Sing Chong, one Of the C. A. c. play
ers, failed to make an appearance dur
ing the first half of the game, and
things looked hard for the Chinese
nine, for Sing Chong plays fine ball
The reason given for his absence was
that there is a disagreement between
him and the club and, further, that he
had resigned. He came up to play in
the third inning and was met with pEo-
test from the Palamas. This protest,
however. did not carry, for Umpire
Fernandez made it clear TO the natives
that If they insisted on refusing to
play, the game would be given to the
Chinese.
John Lo pitched a good game and
deserved the credit of his fellow men.
John is improving a good deal in the
box. The Chinese team put UP a nice
game all through, and it was only
through fine plays that the Palamas
got beaten. During the progress of
this game a great deal of roofing and
yelling went on.
The second game, between the Japa-
nese A. c. and the Chinese Alohas, was
also won by the Chinese. This game
was somewhat interfered with by rain
and also disputes among the specta-
tors. The Alohas kept the Japs from
making a single run. until the ninth,
and it was expected that the Japs
would get coat of whitewash. How
ever, Jack Flores, the only man in the
Nippon nine that plays good ball,
scored a run after two men were out.
The Chinese team played a good
game all through. Ho Yup. the regu-
lar twirler of the Chinese Alohas,
didn't participate in the game, and his
place was well filled by j. Kaimi. 1t
was a Chinese day all through; the
Japs were not in it for a minute. The
game was finally won by the Alohas
by the score Of 6 to /.
