HATRED OF De SAGAN.
Is Charged as Motive of Dc Castellane
by Lawyers of Princess.

Paris. Dec 9.-French society
crowded the court room in the palace
of Justice today to hear NJ. Julemir,
speaking in the name of the Princess
De Sagan. oppose the suit entered by
Count Boni De Castellane in which he
petitions that the custody of his three
children be given to his mother. the
Marquise De Castellane. When
Princess De Sagan. formerly Miss
Anna Gould secured a divorce from
the Count De Castellane. custody of
her children was awarded to her.
If NJ. Bonnet, speaking for the
count did not sPare Prince De Sagan
a fortnight ago, NJ. Julemir was no
less denunciatory and bitter in his
characterization on this occasion of
the count. Castellane's sole motive in
entering this suit, he charged, was
hatred of De Sagan; the very thought
of the prince occupying a place in the
affections of his former wife and
living in the superb mansion on the
avenue MaIakoff goaded De Castellane
to fury. The count, said NJ. Julemir
did every thing possible to hinder the
marriage of his former wife to De
Sagan and having failed in this, he
was now seeking by every means in
his power to bring discredit upon the
De Sagan hOuSeh old.

All Stove Up

Jim Miller had a curious and painful
experience last week. For the past sew
eral years Jim's wife has been pestering
him to, paper a upstairs chamber for
her and last week she said she wasn't
going to put il off any longer and II Jim
didn't want 10 paper It she would en-
ploy somebody who did and have the
work charged TO him. Jim then woke up,
borrowed a stepladder and went TO work.
Jim be amt much OF a hand as paper
hanger being as he never done any of
that kind Of work before, but ne begin
at one corner Of the room and worked
acrost one side where there was a win
der Instid of papering around the win
der Jim pasted right over the winder and
then cut out the paper the bigness OF
the winder By the time Jim got acrost
one side OF the room he found that the
last strip of paper at the lower end was
about two feet out of plumb but that
didn't make no difference TO him and by
the time he got acrost the second side
he was almost putting on the paper hori-
zontally instid OF vertically. as you might
say. Just then his wife come in 10 see
how he was getting along Jim was
standing on top of the step ladder with
a strip OF paper in his hands right in
front Of the door as she entered striking
the step ladder and knocking Jim often
his perch. Jim fell with his head into the
paste pail and like TO Of broke his neck
TO say nothing Of becoming all snarled
up In the paper. When his wife seen the
kind of a job he done she got awful
mad and Jim throwed down his tools and
told her 10 get the rest Of the room pa
pered the best she could and went away
from home madder than a wet hen and
didn't return home until late that night
when ne found the papering had all been

lar paper hanger and don't make sich
hard work out OF it as Jim does
