WANTED A WIDOW.
Seeks Divorce on Learning Wife Had
Not Been Married.

Atlanta, Ga. Oct. Sl.-Anxious TO have
a widow for a wife. and disappointed by
the discovery that the alleged widow
he had married was not a widow. and
had never been one, B. ]. Wooten, trav-
cling lecturer for the Farmers Union,
has filed suit for divorce against his
wife, Mrs Julia Wooten, and is now
fighting in the courts for his freedom,
Wooten says his wife represented her
self TO be Mrs. Felix Hunter. and told
him that Felix had passed into the great
beyond. Developments led Mr.. WOoten
TO suspect that Mrs. Hunter was never
married.
Mrs. Wooten has a few grievances OF
her own. She drags the other woman
violently into the court proceedings. Her
particular grievance is that her husband
grudgingly treated her 20 5-cent soft
drinks and lavished lO-cent drinks on the
other woman.

New York. Oct Silt looked a big
night TO the Republicans tonight. The
colonel was In town. He spent the
evening making speeches from the lower
East Side 10 Harlem. and he whirled
through the streets Of the town so fast
that you could scarcely see him for the
dust. New York gave him great hand.
A good many political sharps thought
that this tour Of Mr.. Roosevelt's would
do a lot of good IN the matter of vote
getting. They could not exactly state
what it accomplished, but the coloneTs
friends expressed satisfaction at the way
the crowds whooped and yelled for their
leader When the colonel mentioned the
name of Harry Stimson there was ap-
plause. too.
Mr.. Roosevelt does not like TO be linn
tied by the clock while he is making a
speech. The lively schedule tonight
made that imperative. and the result was
that he did not have much OF an oppor-
Junity to develop a long argument He
spent his time saying unkind things
about Mr.. Dix and lauding the record
and achievements Of StimsOn, including
few side remarks that were calculated
TO get the audiences going. He men
toned the New Nationalism and the
East Side crowd hurrahed.
Not Running for office.
The colonel told his hearers right along
that he is not running for office, and
that there is really no reason why he
should be the target for the shafts OF his
opponents. He deplored the fact that he
