The Funny Things One Sees

Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles

FOfefFOrQ-In6fe IS compensation
in everything-even to the man who
was blessed (?) with disorderly wife.
No matter how much everything was
at skies and sevens in the house, and
nothing in it's rightful place, he could
always get up i'll the middle Of the
night and put his hand on the fly
paper without ever having to strike
match. Merrily yours, Marshall P.
Wilder.
There is a morbid desire latent in
the breast of nine-tenths of humanity
to have it out with Fate, sooner or
later, and to best" her, if we can.
If the old lady has been particularly
hard on us, we feel that our grievance
is just about the worst ever; and then
we want to do something desperate.
If we are in the neighborhood of eight
years or thereabouts, we fly to the
candy shop and sink our all in pepper
mints and gumdrops. If we are at the
romantic period, when love has every
thing else at a discount, We get real
reckless and say to our best girl,
Come. to the altar! Let us plunge!
Ho! there, installment man! rag-time
portieres and marble-top cradles for
ours!" Then, when we have done the
deed, were not sorry-no, indeed; only,
it entails responsibilities, and things;
and consequences-the inevitable con-
sequences, as Kipling puts it. So, let
me give you little suggestion: When
the reckless fit oVertakes you, start on
a journey, if not round the world
then round the back yard.
Now, that was what we thought
when we started to tour the world;
but, try as we would, we couldn't keep
our place in the procession. We
started for the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado in Arizona; that was to have
been our first stopping place. But we
were like the Irishman who started
out on a bet to shoot a certain bird;
he missed the bird, but killed frog.
He picked it up, and looked at it in
surprise BE gobs!" he said, Il
knocked the feathers off it, amy
wsy!"
The start was propitious, and every
thing progressed favorably, until Kan
sas City was reached. We arrived
early in the morning and were re-
quested by the conductor to get break
fast at the eating station. Yet that
man had seemed to be our friend!

SAYS THAW MUST
GO TO PITTSBURG

PITTSBURG, Sept. 25.-An order of
the federal court at Scranton adjudg-
ing Harry Thaw in contempt was filed
in the federal court here today.
ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 25.-The state
authorities are to make a determined
effort to prevent Harry Thaw being
taken outside the state in bankruptcy
proceedings. Following the order of
Judging Thaw in contempt of court
and directing that he be apprehended
and taken to Pittsburg by United
States marshal, the state commission
in lunacy took up the matter with the
state prison commission and it was
decided to ask Attorney General Jack
son to make application before Supreme
Court Justice Isaac NJ. Mills, at White
Plains, tomorrow for an order re-
manding Thaw from the custody of
the sheriff of Westchester county to
the authorities OF the Matteawan state
hospital.
Thaw is in the Jail at White Plains
pending the outcome of litigation
brought to secure his release from the
state hospital on the ground that he
is now sane The application for
Thaw's return to Matteawan will be
based on that section of the state in
sanity law which declares that a dan
gerous person shall not be confined
in any other place than state hos
pital or duly licensed institution for
the insane for a period of longer than
10 days unless 1T shall happen that
there is no other place suitable for his

WOMEN FIGHT FOR

either personally or through his at
torney. The present wife. Eulah Coats,
Wednesday put in her claim for $3.50 a
month temporary alimony.
Yesterday 1t was the turn of the
former wife, Ida B. Coats. On what are
claimed by her attorneys to have been
altogether insufficient grounds Coats in
1906, at Los Angeles, secured the an
nulment of his marriage with her,
after living with her Is years. She, is
now suing for one-half his property,
his possessions, according to her, ex-
ceeding 100000 Her attorneys.
Cushing, Grant & Cushing, say that
after having the marriage annulled
Coats left her with less than $500.
The matter came up yesterday on an
application by Walter Linforth, Coats
attorney, to modify the restraining or
der secured by Mrs. Ida Coats tying
up his property pending trial of the
suit. Linforth represented that the
order was a hardship not only upon
Coats, but upon his partner in the
mule business, Bricker, and urged that
1T should be modified so as to permit
of the transaction of business Judge
Trout took the matter under advise
ment- The trial of the suit was set

has adopted a resolution urging Bap-

holds authority in the bible
Protest was made against the loose

The author OF the attack upon the
divorce evil was Rev. ]. b. Travis, pas

resolution at the closing session of the

MAY POSTPONE THE
FLEET RECEPTION

MANILA, Sept. 26.-The effect of Sec
retary of the Navy Metcalf's order that
in view of the presence of cholera in
Manila no shore leave was to be
granted or visitors from shore allowed
on the battleships when the Atlantic
fleet arrived here has been largely
discounted by the realization yesterday
that it would be impossible to cleanse
the city before the arrival of the fleet
the necessities of the situation, but
they are bitterly disappointed at the
outcome.
Thousands of dollars have been spent
in preparation for the reception and
entertainment of the officers and men.
The decorations have been practically
completed. A score Of arches have been
erected and thousands of electric lights
have been strung for the illumination
of the city. A program. elaborate and
novel, which represents four months
work, has been arranged.
The majority Of the sentiment now
favors a months postponement of the
program, or until the return of the
fleet. from Japan. That will probably
be the decision of the conference which
Governor General Smith has called to
meet later today.
The only criticism heard of Secre7
tary Metcalf's order is his inclusion of
officers in the embargo against land
ing. 1t is pointed out that they run
no danger. providing they exercise or
dinary care in what they eat and drink.
The cholera has not affected the ordi-
nary avocations or routine of the city.
For the "a hours encsng at o'clock
this morning AZ cases and deaths are
reported. This number includes many
suspected cases. The small number Of
deaths shows that many cases gath

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STOCKTON, Sept. 25.-Surveyors will
start to work next week making the
preliminary lines for the actual lay
ing of the roadbed for the interurban
electric line between Stockton and Mo-
desto. The road will be 80 miles long
and will pass through the most pro-
ductive and thickly settled part of
south San Joaquin county The route
Will have among its stations French
Camp, MantecaA and Ripon, the prin-
cipal towns of that district. The line
starts from the water front
The sum of 100000 has been sub
scribed by eastern capitalists and
100000 has been subscribed by local
people. Harry e. Teter and Morris L.
Bracket came out from the east to
investigate the proposition last May.
They returned shortly thereafter and
are now in Stockton prepared to go
ahead with the construction of the
road. The right of way was secured
by the South San Joaquin Improvement
club some time ago and it was an
nounced that the first company that
could finance the road could have the
right of way gratis. The interests rep
resented by Mr.. Bracket, having put
up the money for the construction of
the road, were given deeds to the right
of way and the interurban is now as
sured.
