CURE FOR THE BLUES

The story Of how an Englishman
cures the blues is going the rounds
Of the English and American colonies
in Paris.
The gentleman lives in Paris with
his wife and several children. He is
q man Of independent means, and had
apparently nothing to worry him. But
every now and then he suffered from
profiund fits Of depression. II you
asked him what was the matter he
would reply with a listless smile,
Nothing" These tits Of depression
always ended in the same way. When
they had lasted for a time, their vic
tim growing moodied and more silent
every day. he would suddenly disap-
pear from home and family, and all
attempts to trace his whereabouts
proved futile. When he returned at
the end of a week or ten days. It was
idle for his friends to question him.
He knew, or pretended to know. Moth
ing of what had happened in the inter-
val His mind, he said, was a
blank.
Finally his wife determined to get
at the bottom Of the matter. engaged
a private detective to keep a strict
watch on her husband. He did, and
the result of his surveillance was to
show that when the Englishman dis
appeared from home it was his Gus
tom to make for the haunts Of a band
of Parish "apaches' at Belleville.
where he was welcomed as an old
friend. AS soon as he arrived he
took of his respectable clothes and ex-
changed them for the three-peaked
cap, the red tie, and the white canvas
slippers Of the Paris hooligan. When
the "apaches" went out at night the
Englishman went with them and took
part in their nocturnal escapades. on
their return to their lodgings he as
sisted in their orgies drinking and
dancing with them and their women
folk and generally behaving like a
civilized savage.
Questioned as to why he did this.
the Englishman could ind no other
explanation than that the monotony
OF his existence at times became 50
/ terrible that the only way In which
he could find relief was by turning
hooligan for eight days. He was prob
ably telling the truth. and those who
/ know the melancholy that comes from
the necessity OF doing the same unin-
/ teresting thing. without variation, day
after day and month after month. will

partition between 1t and the jewelry
store and crawled through. After TAX
ing the watches from the window they
left by the rear door, forgetting to
take with them a screwdriver, the key
hole saw and an old satchel, in which
they had carried these tools. 1t was
through candy store adjoining the
jewelry store that the cracksmen eff
fected an entrance April 10 of last
year. Detectives Regain and OfConnelI
are working on the case.

DEPARTS
BEFORE INQUIRY
Rev. William de ROnden=P0s,
Accused of Bigamy, Said
to Have Gone East

The special committee called to in
vestigate the matrimonial status of
Rev. William de Ronden-Pos, pastor
of the New Jerusalem church in O'Far-
rell street. will meet tonight with the
expectation of hearing him explain
that he did not commit bigamy by
marrying Miss Lillien Boyle, a choir
singer in the church, but it is far
from certain that the minister will be
at. the meeting place. Prominent mem
bers of the church said yesterday that
they believed the pastor had left for
the east with his wife and the three
children born to him by his first wife.
Whether or not this is true could not
be ascertained at the Boyle home on
Twin peaks last night.
Rev. Mr. de Ronden-Pos married
Miss Boyle in Oakland December is,
1908. and announced the fact to his
astounded congregation. Then it was
discovered that only few days before.
December Z the minister had applied
for a divorce from his first wife, who
is now in a Canadian insane asylum.
Frank Austin. a young attorney and
a member of the church, secured from
Judge Hunts court five certified copies
of the complaint for divorce, and ex-
hibited them to the congregation, and
a committee was formed to take action
in the matter. De Ronden-Pos resigned
his pastorate, but the committee called
upon him to come before them tonight
and endeavor to clear up the tangle
surrounding his marital affairs.
About two weeks ago the minister
sold the furniture in his Richmond dis
trict home and moved into his brides
residence. He announced that he would
go to Grand Rapids, where he has rela-
tives. as soon as his furniture was dis
posed of, and now comes the report
that he really has left.
