SAYSSHE
WAS OFTEN TOLD
OF NO.1'S SUICIDE

Ier woke his wife up to tell her
any such stories in the night.
Mrs. Hemmeter said the story of
the suicide wasn't her only rea-
son for seeking a divorce.
There was the parrot.
She Loved the Bird.
Mrs. Hemmeter said she had a
great affection for her parrot, and
that when they separated she ask
ed her husband to send her the
parrot. Hemmeter, she said, sent
her the parrot dead by mail.
She said the shock was even
greater than that she suffered
when she was walked up in the
night and told all about how the
first wife committed suicide.
Hemmeter, who is about 60
years old, acted as his own attor-
ney. He began by borrowing a
pencil of the Judge.
In cross-examining his wife he
knelt dramatically and said,
Woman, for Gods sake, tell the
truth"

MRS. HEMETER AYERS HUS-

NIGHT TO TELL SAD TALE.

CLEVELAND, o., April 10
Mrs. John c.. Hemmeter told
Judge Schwan in divorce court
that her husband. an accountant,
was wont to wake her up in the
night and tell her the story of his
first wife's suicide.
1t was a sad story, and at its
conclusion, said Mrs. Hemmeter,
her husband would get out re-
volver, twirl the chamber and say,
"One wife is dead, another Is on
her way, but the old general is
still alive"
Story Unnerved Her.
Mrs. Hemmeter said it was true
that her matrimonial predecessor
committed suicide, and the story
of her demise recited in the night
would get on her nerves.
Hemmeter said in court he new

there is no need to suffer nor 10
remain in danger when all dis
eases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a
Tacoma citizens recommendation /:
Mrs. George McCaddon, 1903
South X street, Tacoma, Wash,
says: 81 used Doan's Kidney
Pills and value them very highly
l was troubled a great deal by a
weakness of the kidneys and Sc
we're pains through the small OF
my back. I was feeling generally
run down when Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my atten-
ton. They were so highly recon-
mended that I procured a box at
Malstrom Bros. drug store. A
short use disposed of the pains
In my back and improved my con-
dition in every way. Whenever /
hear anyone complaining OF kid
ney trouble, always advise the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills, as /
am confident this remedy will al
ways bring the desired relief"
