superior Court

Judge J. H. Reed held a short calendar session of the superior court at Rockville last Friday. The un. contested divorce case of John J. Dunn of Holland vs. Carrie E Dunn was heard. The case was heard before Judge Reed on Dec. 1S, when an abundance of confessional evidence was introduced, but which was con. tinued for evidence of another nature. The plaintiff sought a divorce from his wife on the ground of adultery, alleging that she was intimate with Clark Howee, who is now serving a sentence in tIie Holland county jail for shooting MT Dunn near the post office at Holland. Joseph Wocel of Holland ands Ernest SmisE, nipe- years-old boy Of the county hone. both gave damaging evidence of seeing Mrs. Dunn and Howes together at different times Letters of an in- criminating nature, identified by Mir. Dunn as the handwriting of his wife, said to have been written to HoWes, were introduced. Judge Reed grant. ed the divorce and gave Mir. Dunn the custody of the older child, born Sept IT, 1900 Willis R. White of Vernon was granted a divorce from Elizabeth May White. the grounds being infldelity. The court awarded judgment of -$75O in favor of the Hubert Fischer Brew cry against Aug. ust Rabenstein.

Color Gossip.

Have huraa an beings, like animals, Q tendency to clOthe themselves in colors that reproduce the prevailing tone of their surroundings: There is another question for scientists who have dis covered that different colors produce differing effects on the health and dis position of individuals. At all events color conventions in different parts of the world are decidedly at variance. For example. while we use black ill mourning the Chinese wear white gowns, white caps. white shoes and white ties on their cues. The royal color in Europe is purple--a hue Of red, not of violet. as often misrepresented. In China the imperial color is yellow, and certain shade of yellow may not be worn by the common people, but is conferred upon high officials as a great distinction.
 Some individual color preferences are historical. Cleopatra loved yellow; Mme. de Pompadour delighted in charming mixture of pink and blue; Napoleon's first empress, Josephine, wore the daring combination of black, white and emerald green, while Eu- gene Field boldly declares that
 Any color. so long as it's red

 As they went away she faced Hol- den.
 "Oh. he took things so for granted, , she told him. II promised as I might to any of the college fellows. But what will people think?"
 ssWhat I think" Holden said slowly, sthat you are going to marry Van Dorn."
 Her steady glance met his.
 "T am not going to marry him."
 ''Why not?' he probed.
 Because of this"-
 About her neck at the end of q long chain she wore a locket of dark blue enamel marked with a "Y" in seed pearls.
 You remember it ?" she asked as she opened 1t. 'sYou gave it to me on the evening before that last game"
 "Yes," he said, T remember" and then as he saw what it contained he stopped.
 Within was a wisp of bright blue silk stained and torn and crushed into that small space.
 s'It is all that was left of the little silk pennant that gave you for luck, !" she told him. After you were hurt l made them let me have it. have kept 1t ever since." k His hand closed over it eagerly.

 "How does any man ask?" blush ingly.
 But other men are not cripples."
 "Oh, what difference does it maker" she flung out Haven't you the same mind and heart and soul as before?"
 The light that illumined his face transfgured it.
 Marry me-" he cried, "and mind and heart and soul shall go to the making of your happiness"
 Van Dorn came back presently, mak- ing triumphant progress, with Aunt Sue in tow. On his arm was the blue pennant for all the world to gaze, but Holden's eyes rested on it serenely, for above his heart, hidden from the pro fane glances of the multitude, was the little stained wisp of sapphire silk, the token of his dear lady's favor.

THE RATHER.
It Rarely Sounds It's Note of Warming
 Until Attacked.

It Rarely Sounds It's Note ct warning
 Until Attacked.
 Contrary to the general belief, the rattler rarely gives it's characteristic note of warning until actually attack ed. In fact. the sharp. vibrant ring of its terminal appendage is probably de- signed more to assist this very slug gish serpent to obtain it's food than to sound defiance or warning. In the first place. serpents possess but the most rudimentary traces Of auditory apparatus and are practically deaf, the deficiency in the sense of hearing be- ing compensated for by an extreme sensitiveness of feeling which makes them aware of the approach of moving objects by the vibration of the ground.
 Hunters, treading cautiously upon 8 soft carpet of moss or leaves to avoid alarming game. will often step close to or over a rattler without disturbing 1t or receiving warning, and while many snakes are seen and killed by them 1t is probable that a far greater number are passed by unnoticed. All snakes are timid and would rather run than fight, and the rattler is not invit- ing certain destruction by advertising Its whereabouts in the brush.-Francis Metcalfe in Outing Magazine.
