For q number of years, the Pease
family lived at l405 Summit avenue,
but their house was sold about a year

AS a basis for the charge of cruelty
Mrs. Pease stated that her husband
was niggardIy in giving her money to
run the house, and for her own sup
port although when with friends, he
was accustomed to he what is term
ed a good fellow"
Wouldn't Pay the Servant.
In addition to her troubles, common
to all housewives, in securing q good
servant, Mrs. Pease stated that when
she did get one she invariably lost
her because Mr.. Pease would not
pay her wages. He was accustomed,
also, according to his wife, to come
home late to dinner and then, when
the food was not what it would have
been had he been on time, to stir
up trouble and abuse his wife out
rageousIy.
Once, it was stated, 11r. Pease push
ed his wife violently against brass
bed, fracturing her arm, and making
1T necessary for her to go to the hos
pital. Mr.. Pease refused to pay for
her treatment and she was forced to
leave when in Il very weakened con
dition. The arm is still in bad
shape and sometimes useless she said.
Pease Accused Of Intoxication.
Again, it was asserted, Mrs. Pease
went to her home on Summit avenue
upon her return from New York, where
she had been on visit, only to find
the house closed and all the furniture
gone. Having no other recourse, she
said she went to hotel, and secured
board and room there. She sent her
checks to Mr.. Pease, but lie refused
to honor them, and once more she
was compelled to move Mr. Pease was
also accused of coming home at all
hours of the night intoxicated and
quarrelsome and OF frequently having
attacked and beaten his wife.

WILL IMPROVE The ROAD
LEAGUE is FORMED TO BETTER
HIGHWAY CONDITION.
Farmers in the Neiehborhood OF the
Poor.Farm Will Perform Task
For the Public.
From Thursdays DaIIy.

A very enthusiastic meeting was
held yesterday at the poor farm for
the purpose of discussing in detail the
improvement of roads in that vicinity.
large number of interested citizens
were present and a discussion of ways
and means was carried on, also an
organization was formed, called the
Mankato, Decoria and Repidan Poor
Farm Road Improvement league with
the following officers:
President, James Mullen; secretary,
Toney Aberly; treasurer, Ole Loe;
manager, Columbus Ballard Jr C. Bal
lard Jr., James Mullen and John
Manderfeld were appointed com
mite to solicit aid and to explain the
object of the league, which is to gravel
and otherwise improve the poor farm
road, this being much travelled thor
oughfare and its present condition far
from what a good highway ought to be.
This road is about five and one
half miles in length and it is the
desire of the league that the county
should assume part of the expense in
as-much as the road connects tne
county poor farm with the city of
Mankato, and is therefore a matter
of interest to the county as such.
The interested citizens along this
road are willing to do their share gen
erously and at the meeting several
hundred loads of gravel were donated
as start in the good cause.
This. movement ought to receive not
6 4 l.
county but it would be well if citi-
zens on other suburban roads would
take the suggestion offered by this
league and start general good roads
movement which is sure to be endorsed
by public opinion and encouraged and
helped by all thinking citizens.

ANEW AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
Production of Cadmium, Which Melts
in Cup of Tea.

Washington, Dec. 29.-There is a
new American industry. 1t is the pro-
duction of a metal which possesses re-
markable properties. Until recently
cadmium used in this country was i'm
ported from Silesia, but now we are
producing so much of it at home that
we import very little of 1t.
Cadmium melts at a low tempera-
ture and, like bismuth, lowers the
melting point of alloys in which 1t
is used Bismuth, however. forms brit
tie alloys. but many alloys of cadmium
are ductile and malleable, yet hard.
The. melting points of these alloys are
lower than the melting points of any
of the metals composing them. Sew
eral of them liquefy at temperatures
considerably below that Of boiling wa
ter and a silvery looking trick tea

pounds melts in a cup of tea. to the
great establishment of the tea drinker.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

Imagine leading lady insisting on
having the prettiest women she could
find in her company.
You can't, can YOU?
But if you won't call it an irrev-
erent comparison I'll tell you of
very similar situation thpt we often
see, and that is a plain bride-to-be
asking her very prettiest girl friends
to act as bridesmaids
Most girls do that, and isn't it
strange?
A bride is seldom at her best She
is apt to be nervous. almost sure to
be tired, and she usually dresses in
dead white, which is about the most
unbecoming thing anyone can wear.
The bridesmaids. on the other hand,
have probably had nothing special to
tire them, are more likely to be pleas
urably excited than nervous, and usu-
ally wear some of the exquisite pale
shades that make the plain girl pretty
and the pretty girl a ravishing beauty.
In Japan, where the parents make
the marriages and the brfde-elect and
groom-elect often do not even see Eic-
lures of each other until the great
day when it is time for the wedding.
the parents of the bride elect bring
her into the room where the bride
groom ELECT is waiting for her, ac-
companied by the Shomeliest girl in
the household, and as ugly maid
servant as can be found. So to the
young man the girl he is about Nto
marry is always very beautiful.
/ fancy the Japanese will be sur
prised to know that in this country
we do just the opposite by inviting
our prettiest friends to come and try
to outshine US.
I 1t may be because our women de-
/ pend on something besides beauty to
fascinate their husbands.
/ wonder.

Did you ever try a put someone
else in your place. test on yourself :?
! anything about the ACCESSIBILITY of
which you feel some doubt, there is
no better way to test that ADVISABLE
than to try to picture, not what other
people would think If you were to do
the thing, but what you would think
| if some friend of yours were to do it.
| Often you will be fairly surprised
at the feeling of distaste that comes
over you at the picture you invoke,
and will need no further warning.
Why not try it the next time you
start to do or say something you are
not absolutely sure is going to look
| or sound we'll.
There are two of the most beauti-
full words in the English language
spoken half enough.
And these are father" and ''moth-
err
Surely these terms are infinitely
more pleasant and dignified than
mamma and papa" or ma" and
pa or any other way of addressing
our parents that we have, and yet
you hear mother" and father" in
one home to ten where you hear
some other title employed.
Strangely enough, too, you hear
father about. one-half as often as
YOU do mother
In several homes where I go the
children speak of papa, and moth
err or even pa" and mother
Anyone will admit it is q very SIM
pie thing to teach your children to
call you by these dignified and beau
tiful names.
Why not begin today and do it?
