SOME OF THE QUEER REASONS
GIVEN FOR SEEKING DIVORCE

cided upon, visited a number OF un-
dertakers, inspected and priced cof-
fins, which he described to her in
great detail.
This wore so much on the good Ia
dy's nerves, in time, that she betook
herself to lawyer.
Look on that picture, then on this:
Mrs. Blanche Patterson, Of Omaha,
filed a petition for divorce on the
charge that her husband loved her so
much that 1t bothered the life out of
her. He was continually trying to
kiss and fondle her.
Yet there was one wife in st. Louis
and another in Chicago who sought
divorce largely because their husbands
never kissed them. Thus is woman
hard to please, the cynic might con-
clude.
Pumpkin Pie Brings Divorce.
One can imagine the heart-or
stomach-soreness of the wife whose
husband compelled her to eat pump
kin pie three times a day, with sal
mon as the only fish dish, as was test
flied to in San Francisco recently.
Or the Pittsburg woman whose diet
was limited her lord and masters
edict to soup, sausage and rice pud-
ding. Or of the New Jersey woman
who loved roast beef and had her por-
tions cut down to almost microscopic
proportions.
All these "causes" have figured in
recent divorce suits.
Not much blame can be attached
perhaps. to the wife in Manchester
n. H., whose husband was wont to
amuse himself by turning the garden
hose on her But why should the
separation court be sought because
man calls his sensitive spouse ar
"old maid" as was the charge in
Pittsburg case; or the wife terms the
husband a "boop," as was asserted
in a Hammond, Ind, case? Wht
knows what "boop" is, anyway?
There was more reason for discort
| il the Hammeter household in Cleve
land. "He used to wake me up in tn
night to tell me how his first wifi
committed suicide" Mrs. Hammete
testified. 1.-THE story was creepy"
A Mrs. Wallace, living in a Nebras
ka town, was also awakened by he
husband at night, but he didn't do !
intentially.
Dreams Led to Divorce.
Unfortunately he talked in hi
sleep, and in his slumbers pratted o
his darling" his pet" whom h
frequently urged to run away wit
him.

Successful Business Women Take
Keen Interest In Work.

! If girl expects to succeed in bust
ness she must work hard-do more
| than she was engaged for-because if
she takes tile attitude that she wasn't
| employed to do thus and SO" and re-
bells, she speedily becomes her own
worst enemy. 1t isn't half so much the
amount of labor that she puts out as
the spirit which goes with it, and if she
works cheerfully, showing herself not
afraid of doing too much. she will
usually gain the benefit of extra labor
in an increased salary or an advance
n1ent in position.
Truth is the girl who accomplishes
results is the one who regards her en-
ployer's interests as her own. They
very literally are that, if she did but
know it. for his success means her own
If she prove valuable, intelligent will
ing and quick, she becomes an import
ant part Of his business plant, and as
affairs progress with him the girls own
business experience makes for promo
ton.
Contrary to this theory, an employ
er's failure means that of his employees.
To be sure they may go out the same
day and get other positions, but change
is rarely desirable, and to shift from
one Office to another means that one
gets a smattering of many different
persons ways of conducting business,
but is thoroughly acquainted with
none. 1t is the clerk or stenographer
who knows what her employer wants,
how he likes work put through and
proceeds to do it correctly, who is the
one he keeps. Times may be bad and
office staffs cut down, but she is a fix
ture.
Too many girls work merely for the
salary at the end of the week This
spirit never tends to increase of pay, |
because work done in this way is half
hearted. 1t is she who 1abors regard |

arrives at the office on time and does
not leave promptly at the closing hour
1t is not that she has been told to stay
late. Such a request would be super
fuous. There is work to be done and
she wishes TO stay until it is finished
This does not mean necessarily that
she likes work for works sake, but she
does like results. and these are TO be

be days. and even weeks, when a girl
who puts the ability she has into her

times she will feel that the more she
does the more is expected of her. and

reward will come, but it almost inva-

she gets no recognition she has the in

best she can, and that is great moral

attack that night. They would wait
| until deep sleep had fallen on the gar
rison, and then they would creep ST.
lently through the moat. scale the
walls and fall on the sleeping enemy
An easy victory would be theirs. The
soldiers were ordered to remove their
wooden shoes, SO their approach might
be noiseless. But they had reckOned
without taking the Scotch thistle into
consideration.
There is a thistle growing freely on
the American continent that is often
called the Scotch thistle: but this is
not the real article. The true thistle is
surrounded by barbs, which resemble
a small thorn in stiffness and pene-
trative power. So. when the Danish
army, their sandals thrown aside. crept
softly to the side of the moat. they lit
tie thought of how they were to be be-
trayed. The omat had been dry so
long that it was th:ckly overgrown with
thtstles, and it was not to be wondered
at that when the first soldier planted
his bare foot on a thistle, with its coat
of barbs. he made q hasty cxclama-
ton.
But that sound was the undoinc of
the Danes and was the means of saving
the castle.-NeW World.

The Widow TaIks.

I've been reading" said the Widow.
what Sir Horace Plunkett has to say
about the Irish"
What does he say?" I asked.
He speaks about landlordism and ag-
rlculture. You know what a life-and-
death struggle it has been for the peas
antry of Ireland. but now Sir Rorace
feels that better times are coming. Ag-
riculture Is the backbone of every ma
ton, and when the small farmer is en-
couraged, Ireland may well hope for a
prosperous future
But Sir Horace made one surprising
statement That is, as he is an Irish
man himself, it rather surprised me. He
said that Irishmen were nat natural
farmers"
"Well?" 1 queried,
Why. Of course, they aren't farm
ers, cried the Widow. And Sir Horace
ought to have known If. Farmers cticlr
