ALlMoNY AND ACTIVITIES

Judge. Brennan of Des Moines, has
adopted the alimony plan as method
of expressing his disapproval of the
affinity habit. The other day when a
young wife appeared before him seek
ing divorce and produced letters
which her husband had received from
another woman and portion of a
letter her husband had started to
write to his affinity, the judge not only
granted the divorce, but ne awarded
the woman $1,000 alimony, although
she had not made application for it.
II the courts adopted the practice
Of including a more liberal share of
alimony for the wife in cases where
a man deliberately drives his wife in
to the divorce court that he may be
free to marry another woman, affini-
ties would soon become so costly that
a husband would think twice before
deciding to make the venture.

AN uNwELcoME VISITOR.

Golfers this week gives editorial
thought to an annual visitor, who this
year has rather broadened his calling
list, in the following classic style.
Hail, grip-germ! We who are about
to die (unless you do 1t first) salute
you! You rule the roost. You are
the easy boss of everything from des-
tiny to five-o'clock tea conversation.
When you emerge from your secret
lairs upon stricken world our vaunt-
ed medical science lies down and
grovels. Well has Scott sung you, o
Bacillus:
when pain and anguish wiring
the brow,
Il A red-hot, ring-tailed lie m n /,
thou!"
and gray melodiously moralized:
The purse-proud doctor wends
mis- weary way,
And leaves the germ to Quinine
and to me-"
IS What boots it that specialized wis
dom, in laboratories, has put you I'M
der the microscope, isolated and de-
scribed you, "mugged" you for it's
Rognes' Gallery, and painted your
horns pink for further, identification?
What ayails 1t that the wise doctors
bump their learned degrees together
in conference over your displeasing
appearance and character, the while
you romp abroad in our fevered veins,
and practise hell's dexterities upon
our sneezing apparatus? What we
want is not descriptions and measure
ments of you, 0 genius vi thousand
pangs. Handsome is as handsoms
does. Our crying need, in very lit
eral sense, is cure, and quick one
and we don't mucn care whether II
comes in the form of pill. powder,
amulet, Or sudden death. Like the
late Lord Tennyson, who, under SINH
lar delirious conditions, made himself
an awful nose of dawn" We
Can but hope that somehow good
WillAbe the final goal of pills"
and. patiently awaiting the worst,
with the afflicted tent-maker;
"Sneeze, for we know not whence
We come, nor why!
Sneeze, for we know not when ye
go nor where!"
And SO, exalted above all lesser
topics such as New Years pledges,
high finance, dementia Americana and
the duty on art, we salute you, batter
ial prodigy. Once more, hail. All
ha. Where's that handkerchief!
1t is very clear that the Golfers
writer was not inspired to break
forth thus by the germ of which he
speaks. Clearly such thoughts are
those of the rank outsider the non
combatant, OF one who views the bat
tie of the germs from arar. 1t would
not be spoken. hail, grip germ" by
the stricken victim. but more along
this line, that grip germ is h l."
