a peculiar name overcome a severe

to alleviate it had been futile. The
other day she felt a relief in her head
where the pain was most severe and,
feeling something loose in her ear, had
one Of the other clerks in the store look
into it. She saw an insect, and it was
alive. Out dropped the flying animal,
the size Of an ordinary fly, and with its
removal the pain stopped. Miss Flynn

Spot on Bud WiIIiamson's Hand Tells
the Time of Day.

Spot on Bud Williamson's Hand Tells
the Time of Day.
Bud Williamson, living out on the
Darrygowan road, lei Lesueur, Mimi,
is a freak. Seven or eight years ago
he suffered many weeks with a terrible
attack Of infammatory rheumatism
that left him when it went away many
permanent records of its sojourn with
him.
Among these are several Of those ap-
pearances, or conditions, of the skin
known as 'fever Spots" being small
red spots just beneath the skin which
have the distinguishing characteristic
of being able to move from place to
place within a limited radius of their
own volition or in answer to some
physical condition not much under
stood by physicians.
One of these spots, q small one,
about the size of a radish seed and of
bright crimson color, established itself
on the back Of his left hand and moved
about from place to place for two or
three years before Williamson paid
any attention to it.
Then his little daughter told him one
day that it always Travelled steadily
around the edge Of the back of his
hand and took just three days to make
the circuit. He did not suppose she
knew what she was talking about at
first, but close observation showed that
she was correct and that under ordi-
nary conditions the spot made the cir
cult Of his hand in exactly seventy-two
hours.
He marked a spot on his hand with
ink for awhile in order to assure him
self effectively by continued observa-
ton that there was no variation in the
regularity Of the movement, but when
the fact was finally firmly established
he went down to the city and timed
the spot on the cathedral clock, had a
three day clock dial tattooed on the
back of his hand in indelible ink, with
the result that he had always with him
a fine timepiece by which he could al
ways tell the hour of the day or night
within five or ten minutes with un-
varying accuracy.

NO BRIDGE NEAR STADIUM
Legislatures Blunder Annuls
Larz Anderson's Gift.
fBy Telegraph 10 Inc Tribune-I

TBy Telegraph to The Tribune-1
Boston, July 9-Owing to a blunder Of
the last Legislature, the cities of Boston
and Cambridge have apparently lost the
opportunity, through the generosity Of
LARK Anderson, of Brookliue. to secure
a S35oOO0 bridge over the Charles River,
near the Stadium. According 70 Mr..
Lavitt, city engineer of Cambridge, Mr.
Anderson himself discovered what the
Legislature had done in repeating an old
law which provided that a bridge might
be built by the cities of Boston and
Cambridge, near Soldiers Field. the cost

approaches s120.0o0-

and anxious to have built a structure
that the university would be proud Of,

$4,000 necessary for the structure.
But Chapter e2S of the acts of 1910. APP
proved by Governor Draper on June IA,
repeats the section of the act of 1901
authorizing the appropriation of the
$4,000.
Mayor Fitzgerald expressed keen re-
greet that the matter had ended thus.

law was brought about he said. but
it looks as If it had been sneaked

AT all events Mr. Anderson has become

DIVORCED HUSBANDS RIGHTS
A Married Woman Can Never Be
Wholly Free Again, Rules Judge.

Kansas City, Mo, July 9.-"Once man
is married to a woman he always has
some claim upon her, even if she has been
divorced When woman is married she
can never be absolutely free again. Courts
can separate couple, but in the sight of
a law higher than man-made law, in the
opinion of all well meaning persons, the
husband still has claim on the woman
who was once his wife"
Judge Ralph Latshaw said this yester-
day when he reversed a decision of the
Municipal Court. which had declared DR..
Milo z. Hartman guilty of an attack on
his former wife and had fined him $500 on
a charge of having 4accosted his wife in a
drygoods store. When Mrs. Hartman had
finished her testimony the judge told the
defence there was no necessity for it to
introduce any evidence
Hartman had right to come up to and
speak TO his former wife and even take
her by the ARM he said. 'As long as he
didn't abuse her or swear at her he COM
mitted no offence. He had a perfect right
10 regard himself as a privileged person
in his dealings with the woman who had
once been his wife. I do not see how any
court ever imposed a fine of $500 on a man
for speaking to a woman who had once
been his wife"
