several months. In her petition Mrs.
Wells alleges that her husband has
treated her with the utmost cruelty
and that he abuses her and threatens
her with personal violence.
Mrs. Wells also cites one instance
where her husband attacked her, tore
her dress and forced her to run from
him in order to escape a severe beat
ing.
The Wells family through theatrical
connections were quite prominent in
Topeka. Mr.. Wells came here in the
fall of 1906, when he leased the old
Novelty theater from A. H. Hagan.
Mrs. Wells joined him shortly after
wards and sold tickets at the old
theater.
Later Mr.. Wells interested himself
with three LeaVenworth men and built
the present Novelty theater, which the
couple operated until last fall when
the theater was leased to H. NJ. Miller.
The couple were married by 1898,
and matrimonial life was smooth sail
ing until the present Novelty theater
was built. Mr.. and Mrs. Wells were
apart a good deal of the time and
relations between them became
strained. Each accused the other of
being unfaithful to marriage VOWS and
the result of separation was inevitab BILE
The marital affairs disrupted the COM
pany and forced Mr.. Wells to leave the
theater. The other stockholders were
blood relatives of Mrs. Wells.
During the last season in Topeka,
Mr. and Mrs. Wells were seen together
but little. They lived together more
for appearance probably than for any
other reason. and they worked to-
gether as far as running the theater
was concerned. Mr.. Wells had his
coterie of friends with whom he asso-
ciated in preference to being with his
wife, while Mrs. Wells confined all her
social attentions to others.
When the Novelty closed for the
summer. last June, the couple sepa-
rated. Mr.. Wells went to Hot Springs
where he took treatment for a severe
case of rheumatism, while Mrs Wells
went to her relatives in Leavenworth.
Mr.. Wells returned to Topeka alone
last fall and opened the theater. but
after a three weeks run Mrs. Wells
prevailed on her relatives who owned
a majority of the stock, to close the
theater until some other arrangements
could be made for its manageme ment.
Accordingly it was announced that it
would be closed several weeks for re-
pairs and a few weeks later came the

THAT IRKsoME FEELING.

This is the time of year we all have that tired feeling The man and the woman in the factory look out of the windows upon the glittering water and green fields and long for opportunity to stroll-the school children see the flowers and the sunshine and hear the birds sing and they, too, hear the rall of the wild. The teacher who has Q enforce discipline and hear the Aasses in arithmetic and geography Ind reading, spelling and writing can not help feeling what a joy it would be to have less care and confinement, md larger opportunity to stroll. We leel tired of the task and yearn for freedom and rest.
 Few of us are immune to these long ngs of the spring; but we do not ealtze how widespread this irksome leeling is-that the boss feels it as much as the workman; that the teach IT feels it as deeply as the pupil; that he minister feels 1t as keenly as his lock We should rather be where he birds sing and the fish bite and he flowers bloom than to be delvfng or our daily bread or deliverance from ignorance.
 This feeling is what gave birth to the summer vacations, short and long, and we are all going to humor 1t lit- tie, by and by. Everybody is, or should be, working on honor now so they may enjoy the rest by and by; and the children in the schools are striving to stand well in their exam nations because of the pleasure 1t will afford them and their teachers. These are anxious weeks just now for teach CTS, because the standing of the classes means success or failure in their work.
 We all should be inspired to do our very best because 1t means so much to us and others and because com mandatory endeavor always increases Efe's pleasure
