MAN IS HERS BY
 RIGHT OF LOVE
Hammond, Cannot See Why Real Wife Doesn't Get a Divorce and Let Them Be Happy.

Greenwich, Conn.,, July 24-EmiIy Ardine Hammond, former actress. who is accused by Mrs. Frank Boyer of having taken her husband away from her and who has sued for separation and alimony of S5,000 a year, made to a reporter her only statement she has given for publication since the trouble with her husband began five years ago.
 As she sat on the veranda of the Ebert Reynolds cottage, leased for the summer by Boyer, she spoke of her troubles calmly while stroking the head of Frank W. Boyer, Jr., a sturdy little chap born three years ago.
 Sunday night Boyer told Ebert Rey- holds he had received a telegram call ing him to California on urgent busi- ness, and he went away the following day. Mrs Reynolds called that even ing upon Mrs. Boyer, as she is known in Greenwich, and found her in tears She seemed greatly upset at Boyer departure and would not be comfort ed. Mrs. Reyonlds was a, frequent til Wednesdays newspapers arrived in the village that any one suspected an- other Mrs. Boyer existed.
 'I consider that I am MT. Boyer S legal wife by right of love- said the former actress. Would you not think that a woman, we'll knowing her hus- band no longer cares for her. but is in love with another, would obtain a di- vorce? I would. As I consider him my husband, so he considers me his wife,
 The woman spoke feelingly and sob- er1y as though the subject was a pain full one. She had just returned from New York where she had gone to con- fer with Charles H. Boyer, President of the L. Boyer Sons Literage Com pany at No. S2 Beaver street, of which Boyer was formerly secretary and treasurer. Her eyes flashed when she spoke of Boyer's legal wife and her refusal to obtain divorce. Her bear ing that of a person accustomed to mingling in good society. There was nothing of the actress about her.

The judicial custom of criticizing the verdicts of juries. and of occa- sionaIly setting them aside, should be abated as liable to abuse and also as contrary to the intent of the creation of the jury system. That system was devised to reflect public sentiment, and it represents a higher authority than do the judges, viz, the people. yu=aes may err at times. and so do judges-neither are infallible upon uuestions of either fact or law.

Senator Cummins of Iowa, raises the point that reductions of tariff du- ties on manufactured products are more important to the great army of consumers than is the placing of raw materials upon the free list, and he Is quite right. Free raw materials would reduce the cost of manufactur- ed products, but under the present system of great industrial trusts, it Is not extremely probable that the re- duction would ever lessen the prices to consumers.

JUDGE BENEFITS GUN

A license to carry a pistol has been
granted Judge W. r. Bennett, Of
the Eleventh circuit. whose applica-
ton for the same has been the oc-
.casiOn OF much comment. The fol-
lowing is one OF the reasons the
Judge gave In his petition why he
should go armed:
Because dangerous men have
threatened to take the life OF your
petitioner because OF legal and just
DEGREES made and sentences impos-
et by your petitioner In the honest
administration OF justice in his Off
cial capacity and in his discharge
o: his duty under the law"
We should imagine that II dan
gerous men had threatened to take
the life OF the Judge because OF his
just DEGREES they by doing so COM
mitted an offense justifying their
Imprisonment. Why does not Judge
Bennett uphold the dignity OF his
court by Furnishing such contempts
in legal way instead Of anticipating
personal encounters? Surely the

A large number of accidents occur

is far different. The towns of the

North Yakima as the metropolis.

It i'll benooves North Yakima to be-

1t is not popular to fight for meas

takes &c future good of the commun-

is tenable. Right is right and expe-
diency is not to be considered as
proper justification for the solution

means of settling problems of this

sort of settlement that must be made

Everybody who is proud of any
thing, is proud of Yakima and the
Yakima valley. Better than that,
the best citizens of the town are so
proud of it that they are always
proud to say that they are proud. All
of which contributes something to
making the city one to be proud of.
There is nothing new about that be-
cause this pride has existed for quite
a good many years.
However, several attempts have
been made to express this in publ
city campaigns which never quite
touched the popular chord. Organ
ization and unification of sentiment
were not quite right, but be that as

stops Food Fermentation and Cures
Stomach Trouble Before You
Realize It,

Take your sour stomach-or may
be you call it Indigestion, dyspepsia
gastritis or catarrh of stomach 1t
doesn't matter. Take your stomach
trouble right with you to your phar-
macist and ask him to open a So
cent case of Pape's Diapensin and let
you eat one 22-grain triangle and see
if within five minutes there is left
any trace of your stomach misery.
The correst name for your trouble
is food ferme ntation-food souring:
the digestive organs become weak,
there is lack of gastric juice; your
food is only half digested, and you
become affected with loss of appetite,
pressure and fullness after eating.
vomiting. nausea, heartburn, gripping
in bowels. tenderness in the pit of
stomach, bad taste in mouth, consti-
patton, pain in limbs, sleeplessness.
belching of gas. biliousness, sick
headache. nervousness, dizziness and
many other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle. and
nothing tempts you, or you belch gas
or if you feel bloated after eating. or
your food lies like a lump of lead on
your stomach, YOU can make up your
mind that at the bottom of all this
there is but one cause-fermentatio
of undigested food.
Prove to yourself. after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any: that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you 1t is merely a matter of how
soon you take little Diapepsin.
