MONEY In THE
AUTO BUSINESS


There must be money in the ANTONIO.
bile business if the allegation OF libel
for divorce fled yesterday in the Cir
cult Court are true. Alma Goedeke
who married William Goedeke in 1897.
says that for nine years he has de.
serted her and failed to support her
although, as it is alleged, he "is the
owner Of an automobile worth $4,000.
and derives an income of $500 per
week therefrom.n
In view of this the libelant asks an
order requiring her chauffeur husband
to pay her attorneys fee and her ALI
mony at the rate of $40 week, which
seems reasonable enough for husband
to do who has an income of $500
week. Clement X. Patrick Quinn is the
solicitor for the libelant, and as he has
two brothers in the automobile bust
ness himself it seems natural enough
that he should know something about
the profits of the business.
Appeal Filed.
An appeal was filed yesterday by
I. Nj. Harrison in the suit of Williams
vs. Castle in which Judge De Bolt held
that there is no dover in an equitable
estate.
Wants Divorce.
Kozabura Kojima has asked for di.
vorce from his wife, Sada Koiima, on

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Why is George Washington so
highly honored? 1t is not because he
cut down his fathers CHEEKY tree
with his little hatchet, as the pri-
mary children are apt to believe. 1t
is not because someone most felici-
tously called him the Father of his
Country. 1t is not because he was
commander in chief Of the Revolu-
tionary Army. 1t is not because he
was the first president. 1t is. be-
cause of the way he bore himself
through all these experiences. Now
we will look toward to birthday of
the Father Of our Country. George
Washingtons birthday was Feb %,
1882. George lived about two and a
half years after he closed his second
term as president of the United
States. Four days after his death a
great company of people gathered at
Mt Vernon and carried the casket
which contained his body to the old
vault, where brief service was read
by Rev. Davis, pastor Of the Episco-
pal churh of Alexandria, to which
General Washington belonged The
services were very simple, but the
sorrow was great, and as the news
spread from city to city, and from
community to community, a shadow
came over the entire nation

PRIZES FOR POSTAL STORIES.

The Junior postal contest has
proved to be such splendid one that
we have decided to have another one
during August. We want the Juniors
70 write interesting stories about the
places represented on the postals
which we send out each week to the
Juniors whose letters or stories appear
n that edition.
This contest will not close until Sep
sember /, so the Juniors receiving
oostals this month will have chance
.or the prizes. We will publish the
stories as sooE as they are received
but will not judge of the merits OF the
essays until sthe co.test closes. The
prizes for these stories will be 75
beautiful, souvenir cards or large
souvenir postal album. We thought
that many Of the Juniors would like
70 exchange postals with their friends
4 so decided that such a prize would en-
able them to do 50.
OF course we will still send out pos.
tails to all the Juniors the week fol,
lowing the day on which their letters
stories or receipts appear. However
we do. not want the Juniors to &C
knowledge them by simply thanking
us or writing a receipt, but we dc
want them to write nice little letter
telling us of their pets, their home, the
4 eautiful flowers or something else OF
interest.
We will ctill give souvenir albums
to tho Juniors when they have 25 pos
tails from the Courier Juniors.

Dear Editor:
Dolls are very nice things to have
about the house. anyhow girls think

rag dolls and nowadays they are
either plaster of Paris or of bisque
or paper. Of course, the dolls that
so to sleep, and that talk are the
incest, and occasionally you find one
that can walk The paper dolls are
very nice too, as you can make
dresses and hats for them so easily.
The rag dolls you find once in a
while but Of course they are not as
nice as doll in later years.
have several dolls. One is a
doll which has been in the family
for years. My brother had it when
he was baby, and now have kept
it for about eight years. have a
doll also that is about two feet and
ten inches tall. It goes to sleep and
has lovely hair. I have a doll that
is jus. the size : to sew for 1t is
about eight inches tall. I like to
sew for them and to make dresses.
l think I have learned a great
many things about dolls as it re-
quires work of such as learning to
sew, both by sewing machine and by
hand. Then to read the paper to see
| what the latest fashion is. Then for
paper dolls, 1t teaches you to cut pa

A POST CARD STORY.
Ottumwa la, Aug. 10.

OtlumWa, Ia, Aug. l9OS.
Angeline lived in the picturesque
castle. Her mother was dead and she
lived alone with her father and the
gray haired gardener
Every days the aged gardener would
look over the beautiful grounds be-
longing to Rochester Castle.
From the top of the castle Angie
could look at the whole country for
miles around
Beautiful flowers and vines grew on
the moss-covered sides of the castle.
On one side of it was beautiful
river and on the other side deep
fosse.
The old castle was nearly seventy
feet square at the base.
A high stone wall fenced the castle
grounds. The windows were very old
and queer looking. Angeline often sat
on the large stone steps OF the
piazza
A door opened from the piazza
which led to the grand hall, the floor
of which was covered with marble.
Many doors opened out on each side
of the hall, leading to spacious old
fashioned rooms.
