ST. LOUIS MAN OBJECTS TO
SLEEPING WITH CANNES

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. March 2O.-Sharing
his half of the nuptial couch perforce
with pampered poodles, ticklish Tables
and damp spanels drove William
Wiedemann to the divorce courts, ac-
cording to his petition filed recently
against his wife, Clara. They were
married in April last year, and Wiede-
mann, with scratched legs and back,
burned fingers, a cold on his chest and
pessimism in his heart, quit his over
populated home on February IL, &C.
cording to his statements.
The dogs and cats often fought on
cold nights for the privilege of nesting
on the warm spots of Wiedemann's
back, and his nerves and cuticle suf-
fered. His wife made him cook his
own meals after taking all his money,
he says, and his fingers and his diges-
ton had a bad time. Often he could
not hold his own in the battle for bunk
room in the Wiedemann bed and had
to sit up in chair all night while his
wifes pets slumbered, snored and
dreamed. He caught cold sitting In
the chair and could not sleep even
there because of the hydrophobic night
mares of the overfed darlings of half
| his household.
Wiedemanns domestic tale, as told
| in his petition, needs no establishment

When Wiedemann got home in the
evening, he declared, he had to sweep
the house, make the beds, empty the
| garbage, wash the breakfast dlshes,
| clean out the furnace and COOK his
own dinner if he wanted any. Tired
out by this multiplication of duties, he

Rev. ]. Russell Crawford, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, gave notice on
last Sunday that the official board of
the church had decided that hereafter
the hour for the morning worship
should be 1920 o'clock. This change

viates too long intermission between
Sunday school and church services.
The superb new hymnals "Church
Hymns and Tunes" have been received
and will be christened by the congre-
CATION on next Sunday. By the intro
duction of the new hymnal with the
Psalter the order of service for the
regular worship is to be greatly enrich
ed. The church is also to inaugurate
the Weekly Envelope system for its
offerings Theme system will be
fully explained at congregational
meeting to be held on next Sabbath at

often furnished accommodations to
travellers, and in that way she became
largely acquainted throughout this sec
ton of the State. All who associated
with her were fond 9fher company, as
she was very pleasant and agreeable
conversationalist, quick at repartee,
and her sayings will be quoted here for
years. She was devoted to her child
rem, who have lost good mother, the
best friend they ever had
The deceased was quite an old lady,
somwhere in seventy. Her health COM
menced to decline about two years ago,
but she was able to go about her home
until few weeks before her death.
She had weak heart and was afflicted
with other complications incident to
old age.
Early in life she made profession of
her faith in Christ, united with the
Baptist Church, and lived a consistent
Christian until the final dissolution.
The deceased was daughter of DIR.

near Columbia When quite a young
girl, on March 10, 1854, she was mar
ried to Mr.. R. c. Eubank and came to
Columbia, taking up her residence in
the dwelling where she lived continu-
ously until her death.
The surviving members of the family
are, Messrs. ]. G. and S. F. Eubank,
Mrs. J. H. Judd, Mrs. L. w. Bennett,
Mrs. w. 7. Price and Miss Julia Eu-
bank, and to them and the grandchild-

sympathy. Your mother can not come

The funeral services were held at the
Baptist Church Friday afternoon at 2
O'Clock, conducted by Rev A. R. Kasey,
of the Methodist church. There were
large number of relatives and friends
present At the close of the services
the remains were conveyed to the city
cemetery and there deposited by the
side of the departed husband. There
were many beautiful flowers.

In Memory OF Hugh A. Mitchell.

1t is good for the living that true
history of the dead be told. The safe
ty of our common country in times of
peace, and its very salvation in times
of war rests with the great mass of the
plain every day citizens, who pay their
taxas in times of peace and make good
soldiers in times Of war. The security
and perpeturity of church and state has
for their anchors conscience and the
virtues of the plain, unassuming citi-
zen, who in life performs well his part
