was built, and it became possible to &C

viously he cannot be expected to do
his own housekeeping under such cir
cumStanceS.
Meals from Dumbwaiter.
Realizing all of that and also the
fact that the divorced husband and
wife are joint owners of the house in
which they are to continue to reside,
and the one additional fact that both
are equally entitled to share in the
use of the kitchen stove and the laun-
dry, Judge Honore has arranged for
the construction of dumbwaiter lead
ing from the kitchen to Mr.. Aarup's
office. The dumbwaiter is to serve for
the convenience of Mr.. Aarup's meals,
which his wife is to cook for him. In
return for this service the husband is
to contribute to the support of his
wife and children. There is a sepa-
rate entrance to the house from Mr..
Aarup's Office, and this he is directed
to make use of, giving his wife and
children the exclusive right to use the
front entrance.
The suit of Aarup VS.. Aarup has
been in the courts since 1907. A set
Element would probably have been
reached many months ago but for the
peculiarly complex conditions under
which the divorce was demanded.

FIND HOUSE WITH TUNNELS.
Discoveries Made in Razing an Old.
Time Cleveland Mansion.

Queer old secret tunnels built co or
70 years ago and leading from one
of Cleveland'S oldest residences to ar
tificial caves in the hillside above the
Cuyahoga river, have been discovered
in the demolition OF the old w. J.
Gordon homestead The tunnels have
existed for decades unknown to peo-
pie who have lived in the neighbor-
hold for so or 60 years. Romance and
mystery surround their early creation
and use and many quaint traditions
are connected with them. When
workmen began tearing the house
down many unexpected queer things
were discovered. 1t was found that
the house was divided into three sep
arate compartments and that it was
impossible to get from one section to
the other without going outdoors or
through one of the tunnels to the big
stone barn in the rear, where pas
sageways led to the other divisions
of the old house. Secret stairways
and hidden closets abounded through
out the building and were located on
every floor, secret cabinets being
found even in the garnet near chin
neys.
The old house was built nearly 20
years ago by w: ]. Gordon, a whole
sale liquor dealer for many years and
the man who later gave Gordon Park
to the city. The ground was terraced
down from the hillside to the shore
below, and on this hillside the tun-
nels emerged into outer light through
a big artificial cave, made with pieces
of rock fitted and slightly arche1 to
form a supporting roof.

to be out when his rooms were being
cleaned and the bed made.
Just so long as Mr.. and Mrs. Aarup
remained husband and wife this ar
rangement seemed to furnish a salts
factory way in which they could con-
dnue to occupy one house between
them But the courts announcement
that a decree of absolute divorce
would be granted rendered such an ar
rangement no longer possible. Both
husband and wife recognize this;
hence the desire of each that the 9TH
er vacate.
Matters stood thus when Judge
Honore was called upon to make a de-
cision for them. After intimating
that he would grant an absolute di-
vorce he ordered the husband and
, wife who insisted on living in one
house to continue to do so. But the
imaginary dead line drawn by Mrs.
Aarup is to be replaced by solid par
titions and Mrs. Aarup and her three
children are to dwell on one side of
the partition and Mr. Aarup on the
other.
Divided Up the House.
Judge Honore said it seemed to him,
since there was no other way out of
the difficulty, that some arrangement
could be made whereby the husband
might continue to occupy his Office
and the bedroom above it, thereby re-

cases.
Mr. and Mrs. Aarup, like many other
mismated couples, were anxious to be
freed from the matrimonial bonds
which held them one to the other.
Mrs Aarup wanted the three children
Anna, William and Edward-and the
home they have lived in for many
years at No. 1909 Elizabeth street, Chi
cago. The house, together with the
land on which it stands, is the joint
property of Mr.. and Mrs. Aarup.
Mr.. Aarup, on the other hand, is
willing to waive whatever rights he
may have to the possession of their
three children. They can go with their
mother provided that the divorce is
granted.
All that he asked for-and this is
where the problem arose which Judge
Honore has ingeniously solved-was
the house at No. 1909 Elizabeth street.
The husband had several good reasons
for wanting to retain possession of
the house. In the first place, it be-
longs to him just as much as it does
to his wife. In the secondhand most

AN INCREASE OF 1850 PER CENT
The Part the Rural Telephone Has
Played in the Winning
OF the West

Two thousand three hundred
and fifty per cent seems rather
large figures to be dealing with,
even when one is considering as
broad subject as the increase in
the use of rural telephones. Yet it
is fact that in the 6ve-year period
ending Dec. 81, 1907, the number
of phone stations in the rural dis
tricts of the western states did
jump 1850 per cent. In actual
figures, the eleven states which
constitute this group had 1859
country telephones at the end of
the year 1902: five years later they
had 62,774,
These figures form the most
striking part of the last telephone
census. Statistics placed side by
side for comparison always speak
an interesting story. One may
deduct some telling fact from the
following table, showing just how
many rural phones each Western
state had in 1902 and in 1907.
