vent here to have his whiskers took
by a photographer crested no little
excitement.
Guiles is the proprietor and opera
tor of saw mill at Ortonville, and
It's said he locks steps with that trail
ing streamers of whispers as he winds
his devious way in and about the
swiftly humming machinery, indf
ferent to the wind that whistles mer-
rily among this luXuriant growth of
human foliage. He has not had a
shave since war times and does not
expect one, striving earnestly to pro-
tect what he claims is the blue rib
bon winner for length, in whiskers.
He prides himself on having the
longest whskers In Michigan. And
the residents of Ortonville, who have
seen that winding trail of wispy,
stringy whiskers floating about the
saw mill over humming saws and buzz
zing set screws, give Guiles credit
for as much courage as he has hair.

Now the Florentine merchant, Betti,
is suing her for divorce and names
Caruso. Nine. Caruso, as she Is still
generally known. has written a letter
to the press in which she states
that she endeavored to seek divorce
from Betti ten years ago, but he re-
fused his consent. 1t was then that
she went to live with the tenor Since
that time she declares she has lived
with Caruso as his wife, and has had
two children by him.
She often saw BETH, who never
seemed to resent the fact of her alli-
ance nor care one way or the other.
She denies having eloped with the
chauffeur and says Caruso left her
penniless at Mont Charles on the very
spot where they first met and where
he persuaded her to forsake her ar
tistic career for his love.
Nine. Betu deplores her unhappy
married life with both men, whom she
accuses OF having failed to contribute
to her support. although she admits
that Caruso gives her 500 a month
a mere pittance. she says. considering
that he draws the highest salary Of
any tenor on earth.

IL Is a Mistake

Many have the idea that anything

This Is a great mistake. True.
few sales might be made by advertis.

1T is only the article that is bought

article Is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-

of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouthtomouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade Of.
