her arm fell and the flag lay limp

IT was not because her husband
wanted soup three times day that
the woman applied for a divorce. That
was the least of her troubles. Cater
ing to a soup-loving man is about as
easy as anything in married life. The
woman who is skillful mixer can
keep the pot on all the time and when
she sees her husband coming a block
away she can light a fro and greet
him with warm plate or soup. A
progressive woman might even have a
pipe line from the kitchen to the table
with a faucet over her husbands
plate so there would be no irritating
delays. No, furnishing soup was the
least of the troubles OF TIE woman
who got the divorce. 4: was when
her husband followed her into the
kitchen, telling her how to make
bread, and into the bedroom to criti-
else her bedm&king that she rebelled
after p years. Who can blame her?
asks the Chicago Daily News. If a
man cannot be fed with soup into good
nature in q years he is hopeless.

The Forty.Six Stars.
MICHIGAN.

Some question has been raised AZ
20 the proper Encouragement OF the
stars in the flag, In view Of the fact
of the admission of Oklahoma as the
forty-siSth state. The new star does
not take its place officially in ths
great constellation till the fourth Ut
July next. but its place was fixed some
time age by joint board of the army
and navy, OF which Admiral Dewey
was chairman. Its report has been ap-
proved by the secretary of war and OF
the navy, and also by the president.
The As stars now in the flag are ar
ranged in six rows, the first, third and
fifth having eight stars, and the Sec
and, fourth and sixth having seven
each. Under the new arrangement,
says tho Buffalo Commercial, which
was effected AUTOMATICALLY alter
ing the general scheme, the first,
third, fourth and sixth rows will have
eight stars, and the second and fifth
rows seven stars each. Thus Old
Glory viii look more imposing and
beautiful than ever. And there is still
room for more stars, when the time
comes.

Dr. Thomas fears that some villain

buy up all the dirigible balloons in

cities and extract tribute from them,
compelling them to loosen up good and

out to do the deed might find a few
obstacles in his way. The only pur-
pose of getting money these days is
TO have some place to spend it IN

Of old there were plenty of opportuni-
ties for seafaring person to go pirat-

with chests of gold which he could
claim to have won in trade, but now it
is different. The entire world is get
ting to be one vast village and the
robber bold who combines light and

One Of the best-known dining places
in the world is about to be sold. The
Star and Garter" of Richmond Hill,
near London, is familiar through pic
ture. poetry, prose and experience. In
173S the original house was erected
on a lot Of ground leased for two
pounds sterling year. Twenty years
later the little inn had expanded into
the chief hotel in the vicinity of Lon
don. Most of the famous characters
OF the world, and many Of those of
fict&sn. have dined at the Star and
Garter. Kings and princes have been
its patrons. Louis Philippe lived there
for six months after his fight from
Paris, and Napoleon ILL., had apart
ments there. Indeed, at one time or
another, almost every distinguished
man of the day has visited the great
Richmond Hill hostelry.
