in February. got an absolute divorce from her hus
band Daniel LIE Roy Dresser. of New York, to-day
The decree was granted on the ground of desertion
The question of alimony did not enter into the
case so far as the court records disclose this
business evidently having been adjusted out OF
court.
At the hearing before Judge Smith Mrs Dresser
was represented by United States Senator Kit
tredge. of Sioux Falls. while c W Gould, of New
York. and E. r. Winans, of Sioux Falls repre-
sented Mr.. Dresser.
MI Dresser was formerly head of the shipbud-
ing Trust and the Trust Company of the Re
public. of New York.
Mrs Daniel lie Roy Dresser's presence at Sioux
Falls has been known in New York for several
months. Consequently, the news that she had re-
cefved decree of divorce from the of South
Dakota created surprise in society little over
q year ago the steps taken by LIE Roy Dresser TO
prevent his wife from taking her children abroad
served to call attention the fact that she had
brought suit against him here in New York for
separation the ground of desertton. compro-
mise. however was effected at the time, on the
strength of which she consented to drop the pro-
ceedings. her husband waving his objections to
the departure of his children for Europe Shortly
after her return from abroad Mrs Dresser left
New York for Sioux Falls with her children and
began the suit there which has resulted in
the dissolution of her marriage

is understood to have had from him fortune of
about $4,000 which was entirely swallowed up in
her husbands ruin six years ago In fact, Mrs
lie Roy Dresser is the authority that she has little
or no resources of her left. Her domestic
difficulties, which have eliminated in her di-
vorce. did not, as has been alleged, begin at the
time OF the wreck of her husbands fortune,
but about two years ago. He is son of the late
Colonel Dresser, L S A, and one of his sisters.

SCORES MOTHERS ATTITUDE
Writer in Medical Journal Says Ma
ternal Instinct Is Decreasing.
Explains why ChiIdren Reareo In
the Country Are Stronger Than
Those City Bred.

New York. May l5-In an interesting
article on ''The medical professlon's duty
TO the children Of America" in this week 5
edition Of the Medical Journal, Dr. l. T.
Royster, Of Norfolk. Va. says. among
other things:
Unfortunately, maternal feeling in this
country is fearfully on the decrease.
The school children OF to-day are in
vastly greater need OF our attention than
those OF former times. The strenuous
life reflects itself on the school child. The
standard Of grades is constantly being
raised even though the children are prob
ably less prepared physically than they
were a generation ago.
The question is repeatedly asked why
so many men Of prominence come from
the rural districts The answer Is plain.
The quiet life of the country or small
town better prepares the nervous system
for the battle before it. while the active
and irregular city life produces young
adults with already wasted energies, al
most devoid Of that poise OF development
which is so necessary in a calling OF any
kind
"The mothers Of this country are in ap-
palling need Of instruction In the rearing
Of their children"

LUNCH WITH A BAcrgRIoLoelsT.
A Lawyer Learns How to Lose Your

A lawyer who had just returned
from n Western city. where he was
interested in litigation affecting the
local water works system, was tell
ing his partners his experiences. and
remarked mat he had made a firm
resolution never to- invite a bacteria
gist or al analytical chemist to lun-

who happenes to be one of the lead.

analysis and is also professor OF
chemistry In one of the leading COL
leges out there, was called by my
clients to give expert evidence. We
