WEATHER AS PROMISED

This Is the season when the appearance

Topeka correspondent OF the New York

"Long-range forecasting" says Director
Flora. Of the Kansas Bureau. "is ridicu-
lous. as every metereologist knows. Tho
idea Of n man trying to pick out what the
weather viii be for as far ahead as six
teen months is laughable, but hardly more
80 than the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF the people
who consult almanacs as 20 what the
weather win be next day.
"rhese books are circulated all over
the country with the same weather pre-
dictions for each section. although in
real life that never happens. The only se-
cret of the hold such predictions have
ON the public is that some Of them are
bound TO be right when they are made
SO general Thus rain is OF frequent oc-
currence at certain seasons and snow at
other times, and a prediction OF rain or
snow IS bound TO come truo somewhere

"A really close comparison OF these

Of the fake weather prophets pretend tha
the weather depends upon the position o

New York April 2O.--Literary cir

public, read today with a moving in
terest the story of John Carter the
poet-convict, now In the Minnesota
penitentiary, as he says. to Kill time"

light his unfortunate predicanient.
Robert Underwood Johnson, editor
of the Century Magazine, speaking OF
John Carter" said:
"The young man has written sew
eral letters to me. became interested
In his case, not only on account Of
the merit Of his verses. but also from
the manly tone in which his commune
cations were couched.
Il voluntarily wrote letter to the
state board of pardons of Minnesota,
asking for remission Of Carriers sem
tence He has learned his lesson and
his release will place in the world a
better man."
In his call Carter penned a poem I'M
der the title Of Ballad of Misery"
The verses read:
Haggard faces and trembling knees
Eyes that shine with a weddings hate
Murderous hearts that darkly wait.
These were they who wero men of late.
Fit to hold plough or sword.

Have pity on these, my comrades, Lord
Poets sing OF life at the lees
In tender verses and delicate
OF tears and manifold agonies
Little they know of what they pirate.
Out Of this silence passionate
Sounds a deeper a wilder chord
If song be heard through the narrow CRATE
Have pity on these, my comrades, Lord

WOMAN SLEEPING
FOR THREE YEARS
Remarkable Case in New York
Will Probably End in
Death.

New York, April 19.-Soon after Mrs.
Bessie Hodus, 3S years old, moved with
her family from New York to Brook
lyn, three years ago, she fell into q
deep sleep and she was still in slumber
today. And 1t has been that way, save
for a few hours each week, ever since.
Mrs. Hodus, even during her trance,
knows subconsciously that Friday Is
housekeeping time and that Saturday
is the Jewish Sabbath. So late Friday
afternoon she awakens and busies her
self about the house, and Saturday she
spends the day In chatting with her
children and cleaning the news of the
neighborhood. Then she goes back to
bed again to rest for another week.
While she slumbers her body Is rigid,
as though she were dead.
In the earlier periods Of her strange
illness she did not always fall into
slumber In her own home. Sometimes
1t was In the home Of her married sis
ter. She was there asleep for three
days at one time, and again perhaps
in the home of neighbor. But they
know the symptoms in East New York
now and when Mrs. Hodus says she Is
tired and yawns, they hurry her home
before she becomes unconscious.
That she will eventually die from her
strange illness Is accepted as a matter
Of course by her family. They say
that each time she awakens from her
strange slumber she Is weaker physi-
cally.

Cincinnati, Ohio, April 19.-Penniless
and almost unknown. Edwin Cridland.
whose paintings half century ago at
tracted attention in this country and
in Europe, and learned astronomer.

the house Of Robert Bruce. Together
the two men lived as roommates, prac-
tically isolated, in this city, for half
a century until last year when Bruce

piled themselves to astronomy, and II

pected to perfect telescope that would

ments In the various planets.

INDIAN SAYS HIS SQUAW
TREATED HIM CRUELTY

Miles City, Mont, April 19.--The first
case Of it's kind on record. in this sec
ton of the country, at least. was start
ed in the district court at Billings,
when Broken Arrow" a full blooded
Crow Indian, of st. Xavier, on the Crow
reservation near here, filed a petition
for divorce from his squaw, formerly
Miss Rock" on the grounds Of ex-
treme cruelty.
The petition states that in October,
1905, Mrs. Broken Arrow" struck her
better half repeatedly. iniicting great
injuries. and then ran away from his
house" and remained away until
brought back by the reservation police.
After being returned, Rock. according
treatment Of the dusky warrior and
continued to desert his wigwam. In
all she left his bed and board" at
least twenty times, returning only when
forced to do so by the reservation Of
f1cials.
1t is specifically stated that on July
Is, 1909, she bit him on the arm and
head, struck him several times with
belt. and injured him greatly the marks
Of which injuries are still visible on his
person. In conclusion Broken Arrow"
states that at all times since the fall
Of 1906 his squaw's conduct toward him
has been of such a character as to
completely destroy his happiness and
peace Of mind and to defeat the pur-
pose Of their marriage.
The complaint Is regularly sworn to
and signed. Broken Arrow, his mark"
being the imprint Of the plaintiffs
thumb in red ink.
When an attempt to get a statement
from Broken Arrow" was made he re-
fused to talk and ran away. Mrs.
Broken Arrow" was found sitting in
front of her tepee quietly smoking a
cigaret. When asked IL she had
comments TO make In regard to the
action started by her husband she sim
ply said: ugh, Broken Arrow him
