HUSBANDS LOVE SONGS
DROVE WIFE TO DIVORCE

Chicago, H., Sept S.-An injunc-
ton to restrain a husband from sing
ing love songs to his wife through
her open bedroom window is the
newest wrinkle in Chicago divorce
court procedure.
This anti-serenade injunction will
be filed today before Judge Honore by
Attorney Sydney B. Meyer, at the
request of Mrs Anna Priebe Ryal.
who objects, she says, to her hus-
band, Charles F. Ryan, trying to win
back her love with his meIodious
voice and rag-time songs at / a. M
After separation of several
months from her husband Mrs. Ryan
decided to apply for divorce, and
yesterday Attorney Meyer filed the
petition, in which Ryan was charged
with extreme cruelty.
Mrs. Ryan later went to Mr.. Mey-
er's office in the American Trust and
Savings building and asked if steps
could not be taken to keep her hus-
band away from her home
He sings so often to me" she
said, Il can hear him in my sleep.
Once ! had him arrested, but he
pleaded with me hard, saying he did
II ouly 20 make me love MIN again,
that / forgave him. !"
The attorney prepared the injunc-
ton papers, which will be offered
Judge Honore today, restraining Ry-
an from approaching, talking to,
telephoning, writing, serenading. or
in any other manner molesting his
wife.
What does he usually sing to
you?" Mrs. Ryan was asked
I'm afraid he goes not know but
three songs, and those are Home,
Sweet Home" I'm Afraid to Go
Home in the Dark and Come
Down, My Love-" she replied.

The City Cousin.
New York Times.)

He's my own cousin Mamma says
but my! he's awful green!
Because he's always lived in town and
so he hasn't seen
So very many things He said he never
MIXED a COW,
And all the grass he ever saw was in a
yard till nowi
He never gathered roasting ears, and
it's the first time he
Threw up a stick to knock down nuts
and ate em off the tree!
And he don't know where honey grows
and he never learned to swimi
My! | would hate to be that old and
not know more than him.
When he is home there amt a creek
and so he never goes
A-fshing, and he hasn't got a suit OF
real old clothes,
The kind you have to have to fish, and
he says he can't go
Barefoot with us because the grass
and weeds would hurt his toe
He won't chew slippery ellum bark or
beeswax; he's afraid
Of it because he told us that he don't
know how it's made;
And he won't dig up angle worms be-
cause they wiggle so;
| never saw the place he lives, but my
1t must be slow
He don't know what spring board is
and hasn't got hat
That you can dip drink up with-he
never heard of that
And if it's raining in the woods he
hurries up to get
Back home because he's so afraid he'll
get his straw hat wet
One day we killed a garter snake
they don't have them in town
And he don't know the tail won't die
until the sun goes down!
And he is sorry that he never came
down here, the more
He thinks of all the things he's learn
ed he didn't know beforet
Still l suppose he has to live some
where, but it must be
An awful thing to live so long and
never climb a tree,
Or plug watermelon when you think
it's ripe, or wear
The kind of clothes that you can rip
and do not need to care;
Or dive into the, creek or sit upon The
bank and get
Your back all freckled up and burned
until you feel it,
When it's time to go to bed? He never
learned to swim!
My! | would hate to be that old ant
not know more than him!

Green-full rich hunters green
will lead in the colors of garments,
but it may be relieved with stripes.
To go with the green suit one must
have a green hat. Soft hats, prefera-
bly, made Of plush, are being carried
by leading hatters. They are known
as yodels (the hats, not the hatters)
and evidently are of Swiss origin.
Following close in the wake of the
yodel hat is the Marathon tie, whose
chief point of excellence seems to be
that it's colors are fast. But the Mar
athon tie is among the "also ran

TaiIOrs Preach Harmony

But with it all the tailors preach
harmony You get it, too, in spots.
There is a shirt that's a veritable
rhapsody in color Fortunately the
demand for it seems to come from few
as yet The body of the garment is
of cretonne, with pink roses -sprink-
led about, offset by a modest shrinking
violet or two. The bosom and cuffs
are of green and white stripes alter
nately.
There are a multitude of similar CO.
lor combinations, but different des-
igns, which would look well if they
graced the walls of a bridal cham
Der, but seem out of place upon a
manly bosom.
In evening dress the conventional
black is being deserted slowly for the
dark blue or gray, many of which
latter colors will be worn this fall
Socks must be of plain shades, mostly
brown, green or purple Sunset-at-
sea and Satusuma effects are ta-
booed.

They are not so sanguine now that
Taft is sure of Maryland. Straws are
blowing the other way At meeting
of a Ward Republican Club in Balti-
more the other day the President
arose and resigned because, as he
said, he had determined to vote for
Bryan. Before it could be accepted
another member arose, expressed
similar feelings, and asked for a
poll of all present Much to tbs
horror of the Republican leaders it
was developed that over majority
of the members present. had had a
change of heart politically, and the
club was badly disrupted by their
withdrawal. The Baltimore Sun
doesn't seem to be having much
weight at home in this campaign.
The people are suspicious of it
since the report gained circulation
that Tafts brother had practically

Abolish Convict System
Washington Post.)

Louisiana and Mississippi had a
convict lease system perhaps as bad
as Georgias, but they abolished it
years ago. Texas is perhaps the only
other State in the entire South, which
in this respect, is behind the times.
But even to the Texans the idea Of
making convicts competitors of law
abiding laborers in private pursuits
is repugnant. They have warned their
legislators that unless a change is
made Texas may have a worse situa-
ton than that which now confronts
Georgia. The convicts ought to la
Dor for their living, but the State, on
the other hand, ought not to make
profit out of them Georgia is too
rich and prosperous to plead poverty
as an excuse for continuing the sys-
tenn another three years. 1t ought
to be abolished.

The fact that there are so many
