Kansas City, Moan unexpected
denouement came in the divorce suit
of Lillian Benner against Joseph G.

when the wife learned that miss May

ing letter to her husband she had in.

Mrs. Benner had named "Miss Mar

ner admitted he had carried on long
correspondence with Miss Martini
and had endeavored to meet her sew
eral times, but each time Miss Mar.
TIM had some excuse. Finally, after
Mrs. Benner had brought her suit,
Benner went to Leavenworth and
made a still hunt for his charmer. He
didn't find any "her," but he did find
young man who had been having a
lot of fun, not only with Benner but
with several other men who supposed
they were corresponding with per
feet lady"
Benner's attorney contended that,
since miss Martin" was a man, Mrs.
Benner was not entitled to divorce
but that Benner was entitled to a de-
cree on charges of misconduct he had
made against Mrs. Benner. Mrs. Ben.
ner still had trumps, however, and in

had written in endearing terms to a
young lady who appeared as witness

LOSES HAIR AS SHE SLEEPS
Pretty Ohio Girl Is Victim of Peculiar
Sneak, Who Clips Off Her
Tresses,

Lima, O.-Pretty eighteen-year-old
Jennie Williams awoke one morning
recently to find that while she slept
her thick tresses of long brown hair
had been shorn from her head. The
hair was found lying upon the top of
a dresser with the heavy shears that
had been used in committing the deed
upon it. A silver mirror was upon the
foot of the bed. ..-.4
Police are at a loss to ascertain a
motive for the deed, although they are
looking for former boarder at the
Williams home, who, it is said, at
tempted to force his attentions upon
the young lady.
The victim is the daughter of the
late John Williams, at one time pro-
prietor of the largest hotel in the
city.

type. The hair is dark and the beard
small The eyes are dark and pierre
ing. The Tuaregs are cruel, suspicious
and implacable, are usually at war
either with their neighbors or among
themselves, and are superb guerilla
fighters. 1t Is evident that an alliance
between these tribes of the desert and
the undoubtedly courageous soldiers
OF Turkey will make the Italian occu-
patton of the interior an undertaking
of considerable difficulty. The native
population in the hinterland of Trl-
poll numbers about 100000.

Greatest Religious Organization In
History, With Over 100000 Men,
bers-Rev. Francis e. Clark
Its Founder.

Portland, Me.-Founded in 1881, by
Rev. Francis Edward Clark in Willston
Congregational church, Portland, the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor has increased from one soci-
ETY. to over $4,000 societies that thrive
In every corner of the earth It's roll
of membership has grown from list
of 81 to an enrolment of over $780,
900. Twenty-Five years ago it was
of Portland.
Mr.. Clark for years had faced the
demand of the age for religious youth.
He had studied the problem from
every side and had sought information
from all known sources concerning the
various plans that had matured from
time to time in Christian history for
developing the religious life and &C.
tiVity of young people. He grew de-
spondent OF ever producing anything
new and effective; but yet in all hum
BILE simplicity he made an attempt and
1t proved to be the most successful in
the history Of Christendom. It's sue
cess IS due to the sincerity and able
ness of it's founder, and the definite
ness of its purpose. Mr.. Clark, al
though unconscious of it at the time,
Is a man chosen by Providence for a
life career, an apostle in a movement
which is essentially progressive and
destined to pass on through history an
active and far reaching force in the
affairs of the Christian world.
In DR.. Clark we are brought face to
face with a man who is a revelation
as far as executive ability and versa
tility are concerned. He has been
many things to many men. He has
been a pastor and leader, an organizer
and a diplomat, an advocate and de-
fender of young people, gentleman
and a Christian. His gentleness has
made him great and his humility has

Cruel and lmplacabIe Tuaregs OF
Tripo!i.
Native Desert Tribes Who Would Aid
Turks to Resist Italian Conquest
Believed Descendants of
=, -, .a.-.... .. Crusaders. , Il.

Trlpoli.-Should Italy seriously at
tempt the conquest of the interior Of
Tripoli an interesting situation will
arise in the event, as appears prob
able, of the native Tuareg tribes COM
ing to the assistance of the Turks.
They are believed to be descendants
of the Crusaders, and although Mos
lens, their favorite ornament is the
cross, while many of their customs
and some words Of their language,
such as angelus for angel and mesi
for God, are undoubtedly of Christian
origin. Many are of the opinion, how
ever, that they belong to the Berber
tribes, once inhabiting the whole coast
line of North Africa, and that they
took possession of the desert regions
in the hinterland of TripoH when the
main body of this people were driven
back to the Atlas mountains by the
immigrating Arabs, who swarmed over
the whole of North Africa in the
eleventh century.
The Berbers are of Semitic origin
and formerly professed the Christian
religion, but since the Arab conquest
they have refrigerated in every way.
and are now among the most bigoted
adherents Of Mohammedanism.
1t is not improbable that many of
the Crusaders may have remained in
Africa and made common cause with
the Christian tribes against the invad-
Ing Arab, as some of the expeditions
against the Moslems of Palestine land
ed in Africa, st. Louis, the leader of
the seventh and eighth crusades, dy-

Those who prescribe fashion in women's dress
work great havoc at times to Swiss industries
The year 1910 bad in this respect
Those who dictate styles decreed in favor Of light
Japanese and Chinese silks, and the Swiss looms
were stopped in thousands. It was also made
law of fashion that dresses were to be trimmed
with strips of silk and not with ribbons and so
the ribbon factories were obliged to curtail out
put. With the cutting off of the embroidery ex-
ports to the United States the year was bad
one. But the people get along with little closer
economy. Their garments are as decent, their
smiles bright. If any housewife can show

In the Swiss hotels she is crown of glory to
her husband and worth the good old English cpl

found in any nook or corner Of Swiss bedroom

America mob democracy" except that the peo-
pie never conduct themselves in the manner OF
mobs But they have never surrendered many OF
their natural rights formally to the government.
Almost all questions large and small are settled
by popular vote. The initiative and the referen-
dunn have long been in full force here. So theoret-
ically this is the most purely democratic people
in the world. Theoretically" mind you AS a
matter of fact, the people who might decide every
question do not exercise their rights 1t is at this
time as badly ridden by politicians as any country
in the world The people do not vote in sufficient
numbers to make popular choice for Office The
machine" does it all. and the people stand by
and let the lawless win until they become
aroused, which is usually about some minor mat
ter. The success of foreigners in getting trade
is creating bitter opposition to them. Germans
are particularly hateful So when person of for
eign birth is brought up before socalistic Judge
by socialistic policeman. and as half the fine
goes where it does the cause" the most good, it
goes hard with the foreigner The people are be-
ginning to feel the effects of raising the wages of
unskilled workmen to the level of those with skill
Will the people shake themselves out of their
sleep? I think They get excited sometimes
Automobiles are things to the Swiss like the
determination of desolation" to the Jews. In some
cantons these vehicles are absolutely fobidden It
happens that these ARE the places particularly
dear to the tourist host because of their beauty
Attempt after attempt has been made to modify
the law, but the people always vote mo- in the
majority The hotel men and others feel this
but the peasant is obdurate They may get awake
some time and do more important things at the
polls. They may to it that the policeman and
his chum from the socialist camp do not impose
fines on innocent persons in order that the po-
hceman, the judge and the machine" may all
have money in pocket
The canton prohibiting automobiles is that
where the Engadine country is. and the roads are
steep and narrow and the machines dangerous
But besides that it is the place most sought by
tourists. and the Swiss make all their living out
OF these in that part Of the country. Much money
six horses carrying tourists and the tariff is IS
day each, or $40 for the coach. No wonder the
automobile is not a pleasant sight to the people!
