YEARNS FOR CITY NOISES
Farmer Says Nothing About Her,
but Quietly Sues for a
Divorce
YEARNS FOR CITY NOISES

ST. LOUIS, July 6.-No more back
to-the-farm for Mrs. Catherine King,
thank you. She has been back to the
farm and figures that the bucolic bus
mess is greatly overrated. She has
Joined the back-to-the-city movement,
turning her back on farm, chickens,
husband and all. She hasn't anything
in particular against her husband as
such, but she objects strongly to him
as a farmer. If he will join her in the
back-to-the-city movement they may
live happily ever after, but not down
on the farm. Mrs Catherine King ex-
poets to linger always within easy
hearing distance of the street cars with
flat wheels.
Delos M. King, husband of Mrs.
Catherine King, sued her for divorce
in the Clayton circuit court WednesE
day, alleging that she did not like farm
life at Tuxedo Park, that she looked
upon the farm as a jungle, that she
neglected her household duties, would
not attend to the garden and the
chickens, and went to town at least
once a week to visit her mother.
And Mrs. Catherine King, now liv-
ing at 1916 Dillon street, and duly
thankful that she is declares 1t is all
just as Delos says. She does not think
that she neglected the household nor
that once a week was too often for
visits to her mother. She fed the
chickens before her husband was UP
and after he went to work.
Mrs. King had never lived on farm
when Delos came wooing her last win
ter. She had never even slept on a
farm. Always, as long as she could
remember. she had been soothed to
slumber by the sounds of the streets.
Delos told her that after they were
wed they would live on his farm at
Tuxedo park and life would be one
long summer song, or something like
that. 1t sounded good to Catherine
and she snuggled closer and said she
was sure it would be just as lovely as
anything.
They were married and went to live
on the farm. But it wasn't like 1t
sounded.
"You see," said Mrs. King, "I had
lived in the city all my life. 1 had
lived right here on Dillon street seven
teen years. Never mind how much
longer ON other streets. He took me
out there on what he called his farm.
There were only two acres of 1t, but
that was plenty. 1 couldn't have stood
it as long as 1 did If there had been
more of it. 1t was a regular mud
jungle. The streets were not paved
and there wasn't anything that looked
like a sidewalk. And the silence! 1t
kept ME awake nights. 1 had always
had noise to put me to sleep and !
needed it.
"I couldn't go shopping or to places
of amusement. My friends couldn't
come out and visit me. / was up al
$50 In the morning to get breakfast
for my husband, and after he went
away had no one to talk to all day.
1 stood it just as long as 1 could, and
then came back to Dillon street.
"My husband liked my cooking, and
we are good friends and all that, but I
wouldn't live out there for any man.
If he would come back to the city it
would be all right. I think will tele-
phone to him and talk it over. But
won't go back to that farm"

OAKLAND, July 6.-James j. JEFF

The big prize fighter bears the scars
of his encounter with Johnson. His
face Is still badly marred, his lips being
swollen and cut and his eye almost
closed even yet. Patches OF plaster
adorn his features, and he walks with
his head low, indicating in every line
of his big body a feeling OF sadness.
His spirit seems to be- gone.
Jeffries this morning refused to an

others that he was all in before he ever

the big fighter maintains an absolute
silence which even his brother Jack and
his wife are unable to break.

A Handsome Woman

Every woman may not be hand
some, but every woman should
keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eve,
blotchy complexion, who pays
proper attention to her health.
Where constipation, liverderange.
ments, blood impurities and other
irregularities exist, good complex
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
arrangements reveal themselves sooner
Or later on the surface. Headache, dark
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, a con-
slant tired fecling---mean that the liver
and digestive organs are needing help and
correction. Chamberlain Stomach and
Liver Tablets give this necessary help.
They work in natures own way. They do not
merely flush the bowels but tone up the liver and
stomach to fulfill their proper functions. So mild
and gentle do they act that ono hardly realizes
chat they hove taken medicine. Chamberlain
Tablets can be relied to relieve biliousness,
indigestion, cc,stip ation and dizziness. Sold cv.
ssywt,erc. Price Is cents.
