She had worn it so long that

change it at it's full value.

Throwing the coat on the floor

heel Of her shoe. She succeeded
in cutting through the lining
and the seal. Then she took the
coat back to the store, claiming
that it had been damaged, and
demanded a credit for it.
The fur manager said he had
been in the business Twenty-Five
years and had never seen any
thing like the cut in that coat.
He examined it critically, dis
covered just what had been

When Should They Profit7

Prejudice is often expensive and
ignorance costly luxury, says the
West Virginia Farmer. Calves Of the
Channel breeds II well grown should
be bred between the ages OF 10 and
II months and they will come into
profit considerably under two years Of
age. Reasonably early breeding saves
feed and almost invariably develops
you the most desirable dairy COW.
The theory that delayed breeding pro.
duces a larger animal remains a
theory.
Breeds Of cattle that come to ma.
turity early should be bred early for
the best dairy development. Long
delayed breeding sometimes results In
sterility. There are extremes, OF
course. but for best dairy results rea.
sonably early breeding is greatly to
be preferred.

TWO WIVES SUING
ROAD FOR DAMAGES
FIRST SPOUSE OF RAILWAY EN-
GlNEER CLAIMS DIVORCE
FROM HER WAS ILLEGAL.

Sioux Falls, S. Done of the
most peculiar cases ever instituted
here is dependent upon the legality
OF a divorce granted by a South Da-
kota conrt during the palmy days of
the divorce industry. r. l.. Meldrin.
formerly a resident of New York
state, in 1905 was granted a South
Dakota divorce. On his return to
the east he married wife No. 2. Mel
drin was a railroad engineer, and
about a year ago he was killed. while
on duty. Recently wife No. l insti-
tuted an action against the railway
company by which he vas employed
by which she seeks to ecove dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 for the
death OF Meldrin. She contends that
the South Dakota divorce granted
Meldrin was invalid and that she
has a legal standing as his widow.
To complicate matters, wife No. 2
now has instituted a damage suit
against the railway company, placing
her damages at a much higher. figure
than wife No. L. Wife No. 2 O is
in Sioux Falls seeking to establish
the legality Of Meldrin's residence
here. and the divorce granted him,
and thus establish her own standing
as the legal widow of the dead man.
1t is said the railway company is will
ing to effect a settlement with Wife
No. 1, but it cannot do so because
of the suit which has been institu-
ted by the second wife. The trial of
the cases promises to be very inter-
esting.

THIEF X
IN WYOMING TOWN

Sioux Falls, S. D.-The United
States authorities have have been ad-
vised of the arrest, near Gillette,
Wyo., of Phil Cournoyer, a mixed
blood Sioux Indian, who is under in
dictment in the federal court for
horse stealing, alleged to have been
committed on the Rosebud reserva-
ton.
Cournoyer fled from the state be-
fore he could be arrested, and for
months efforts to locate him we're un-
availing. Recently, however, bu a
letter written to an acquaintance in
South Dakota it was learned he was
in Wyoming. The arrest was made
by Sheriff Farrell of Sundance. Wyo.,
who traced the fugitive to a ranch 20
miles north of Gillette. where he was
working in. a hay field.
Cournoyer is one of several broth
.ers who have caused the United
States authorities trouble. Two or
three of the brothers are serving
terms in the federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth, Kan, for thefts of
horses and cattle on the Rosebud
reservation.
