that neither of the contracting par
ties ever intended that it should take
place after marriage ceremony had
been performed in a Roman Catholic
church, by priest of that church.
The papers made public today include
not only the text Of the application
filed by Miss Maloney, but a trans
cript of the testimony given before
Daniel Cohalan who was appointed
referee by the supreme court justice

the United States are concerned,

young Englishman, with whom she
eloped and went to England some
time ago. The authorities of the
Roman Catholic church, of which
Miss Maloney Is q member, however,
although they have been appealed to
do 30. have not yet given judgment on
the question of whether or not the
marriage with Osborne shall be re-
garded by that church as binding.
In her testimony before the referee
Miss Maloney said the marriage be-
tween herself and Osborne which was
performed by justice of the peace
at Mammaroneck, was decided upon
very suddenly. Two titled foreigners
were visiting At her fathers home
and one Of them was very attentive to
her, she said. She disliked the man
but feared that she would be led by
her parents to marry him. At the
same time she was fond of Osborne
but feared to suggest the marriage
TO her parents for fear they would op-.
pose It., SO when Osborne proposed
marriage to her. she told him to wait
six months and that If she felt the
same toward him at that time, she
would give her consent. They talked
about the possibility Of marriage at
that time. she said, and 1t was agreed
between them that the ceremony
should be performed at the Catholic

ENDED THE BIBLE READING.
Beginner Resented Wife's Enjoyment
 of Ills Mistake.

A Kansas City man, who had fol. lowed stock quotations, football scores and race form sheets more closely than he had religious and literary mat. ters, recently was persuaded by his wife to read aloud each evening from the Old Testament to improve the knowledge of both on Biblical matters. The man became interested in the story of the scriptures and read aloud several evenings with great gusto and pleasure. One night as he was swing ing along he read: And they horse whipped the beasts"
 Hold on!" exclaimed his wife. What was that?"
 They horsewhipped the beasts" he repeated, and continued reading. His wife got up from her sewing, crossed the room, looked over his shoulder and read:
 They worshiped the beasts
 There" she said, .1 knew the word horsewhipped was not in the Bible. He, He!"
 The man closed the Bible with a snap clasped the snap. and that con- cluded the readings for all time.

I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure. I can safely say that Cuticura did lot for me.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the coffee habit and finally his stomach and kidneys got in such a bad condi. tion that he was compelled to give up a good position that he had held for years. He was too sick to work. His skin was yellow, and I hardly think there was an organ in his body that was not affected.
 T told him felt sure his sickness was due to coffee and after some dis cussion he decided to give it up.
 Tt was a struggle because of the powerful habit. One day we heard about Postum and concluded to try it. and then it was easy to leave of coffee.
 His fearful headaches grew less frequent. his complexion began to clear, kidneys grew better until at last he was new man altogether, as a result of leaving off coffee and talk ing up Postum. Then I began to drink it. too.
 Although I was never as bad of as my husband, I was always very
 
 strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before l began to use Postum. Now l weigh 115 lbs. and can do as much work as anyone my size, think.
 Many do not use Postum because they have not taken the trouble to make 1t right. I have successfully fooled a great many persons who have drunk it at my table. They would remark, You must buy high grade of coffee.' One young man who clerked in grocery store was very enthusias- tic about my coffee When l told him what it was. he said, why I've sold Postum for four years but l had no idea it was like this. Think I'll drink Postum hereafter
