.BIGAM|sT' S FIRST
WIFE IS |NCENsED
MIRA. Lillian Stansell Says Story On
Which Husband Gained Liberty Is
Tissue CT Lies.

That q great injustice was done
when Judge Connolly paroled Fred
Stansell, confessed bigamist. is the
claim OF Mrs. Lillian Stansell, the
first wife Of the defendant, on whose
complaint he was arrested. The story
Stansell told in court. which gained
him his liberty, Is pronounced a It's
sue OF lies by the wife.
Stansell told the court that he was
only 10 years old when he married
his first wife, In Pontiac, and that he
was surprised TO learn. after their
marriage, that she had been previous
ly married and had a daughter. Be
cause OF this deception, he said, he
consulted lawyer with a view to Sc
curing divorce, but was advised that
inasmuch as he was under age at
the time OF his marriage a divorce
was unnecessary. On the strength OF
this advice he married his second
wife, who was Miss Clara Decker, of
Royal Oak.
Now the first Mrs. Stansell comes
forward with what purports to be a
copy of their marriage certificate,
showing that the marriage took place
In Windsor Dec. %, 1905. Stanselrs
age Is given as rs and Mrs. Stansell's
~ 81
The marriage took place In Mr..
Stansell's home in Windsor and with
the consent OF his parents" said Mrs.
Stansell to The Times. He knew
that had been married before, be-
cause he had visited my home in De-
troit and had seen my daughter there,
and my daughter lived with us from
the start. He says We separated four
years ago. when he claims to have
learned of my previous marriage. As
q matter Of fact, we separated a year
and five months ago, in Royal Oak,
when my husband began running
around with Miss Decker. She was
the cause of our separation. What's
the nse Of having any law against
bigamy IL q man can go right on vio-
lating IL and escape punishment?
~'Stansell was waiter in a res
taurant when ! met him. My father
furnished the money to set him up In
the bakery business and he ran IL
into the ground. Because would not
give my consent when he wanted to
move TO Farmington and start
larger bakery he attacked me and
my daughter, and had him arrested.
That was in Pontiac, where he claims
to have married me.
II have laid these facts before
Judge Connolly aud the prosecuting
attorney, but nothing has been done
about it."

 When they are fresh they are put iu cakes. to which they give sweet flavor. but they are more especially used for making bread after they have been dried and reduced to flour. By allowing them to ferment kind Of

THE MILITARY SQUARE.
A Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the -len,inos.

The greatest of all Scottish anniver- saries is that of Bannockburn. fought in the year 1914. Apart from its bear. Ing on the Independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an excep tional interest from the military point of view. as Bannockblrn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. Proud Edwards" army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that of the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear. and these Bruce threw into "schil- troms. or oblong squares, a formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings. who had employed it with suc- cess at Courtray to resist the charge of the English cavalry.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in "schiltrom," or hedgehog, forma- hon. and these two battles revolution zed the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profiting by the lesson which had been taught them at Rannockbnrn. the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at Agincourt As it was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Rannockburn, so it Was they again who at Balaklava were hc first to discard it with their thin '"d line" and now. owing to our
 'AnC"d conditions of warfare. it is discarded togcther.-Londoa Cbron

Tho "Macaroni."

The "macaroni" were exquisites or Cops who in England and France led the fashions from 17SO to 1785 and were distinguished by an immense knot of artificial hair worn on the top of their heads. A small cooked hat which perched ridiculously on their topknot, satin or brocade coats and small clothes fitting tightly to the body and silk stockings with ribbon garters composed the costume of these fash ionable gentlemen who invariably car ried long walking stick with tassels attached and frequently bouquet tied to the handle and encouraged mine ing and affected gait and manner. There was during the war for inde- pendence a body of Maryland soldiers who on account of their showy uni forms were called "macaroni."

Secret Society Among sese Islander

Secret Society Among sese IsIanderA
 The Sese islanders have attained .. peculiar notoriety in Uganda because of a secret society called the Bachichi. which is not burial society, although its members take a deep and intelli. gent interest in all deaths and burials in their midst. In the more retired vil- lages. although greatly discouraged by the British authorities, 1t is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel atives to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on rough bier to some forest thicket, desolate ravine or other unfrequented spot, where 1t is left unburied by the bearers, who nev. CT revisit the place again. The Bachi- chi, who are denizens of neighborins village. and distant relatives of the deceased avoid the necessity of burial or cremation and show their respect for the deceased by simply eating him.

The family were at dinner when there came tap at a door seldom opened. Winning no attention. it was repeated and again third time. though more softly, and then the door was swung back and. behold, there was snake, knocking at the portals of hospitality! Down upon its head. in conformity with the decree of tradi- tion and with Ezra's understanding of scriptural direction. crunched a Brit. lsh boot. It was mother snake, who, having bravely overcome her fear of man. was seeking sustenance. not for herself perhaps, though she was starv- ing. but more likely for the little ones that were found in the grass by the brook. Thus for once, at any rate. did the craftiness of the devil succumb to the instinct of motherhood.-George B. M. Harvey in North American Re view.

 Suppose you know nothing, say there .s an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say, May, master. it is my head or legs that trouble me-" Repeat that it comes from the liver, and especially use the word "obstruc. tion," for patients do not understand 1t, which Is important.
 Never dine with patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeons fee.
 When you are treating a wound or accident, the friends of the patient should be excluded, for they may faint and cause disturbance, but some times a higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the like than from the principal patient.

 MohalnncLanS of India are very superstitlouS. No Mohammedan will take bath on Sunday or Tuesday. But if one bathes on Wednesday all misfortunes and misery that are in store for him till the next Wednesday will be averted. As rule. all Moham- medans bathe oo Fridays before going to perform the jumma prayers. For donning new clothes Saturday. Sunday and Tuesday are regarded as bad days. If any one dOns a new dress or puts on new cloth or allows his tailor to cut piece of cloth on these days. he will live miserable life till that dress or cloth gets torn or is thrown away If shirt is torn and if the wearer wants to stitch it. it must be taken of, for if 1t is stitched while on the body the person will soon die. A Moham- medan will never allow barber to come near him on Tuesdays. for Tues days and Saturdays and Sundays are bad days for shaving If absolutely necessary he will get himself shaved on Saturday or Sunday, but never CD Tuesday, as his star is supposed to fall in blood if he does so. If one receives money or some valuable thing, it is taken with the right hand, for if 1t is taken with the left the person re- ceiving it is said to forget all about 1t very soon or to mislay it.
