No Happy Medium.

An Evansville woman has sued her
husband for divorce. setting up as
one reason that during the last thir-
teen years the head of the family
has not kissed the wife of his home
a single time during all these years
1t has not been long since another
woman of that state asked for a di-
vorce alleging that her husband
kissed so often that it interfered
with her domestic duties. 1t seems
that the "Hoosier" women are a
hard set to please.

Supreme Court Hears Arguments on
Legal Points Today.

The mandamus suits brought by the
attorney general against the secretary
of state to require the publication in
the statute book of the Inheritance tax
law, which the governor vetoed and
the five bills which died when the leg
islature adjourned before they were
acted upon by the governor, were ar
gued in the supreme court today. The
court gave the attorneys all the time
they needed for the arguments. Sena
tor S. NJ. Brewster, who has been re-
tanned by the attorney general to as
sist in the two cases led off the argu-
ment. John Hunt, attorney for Chas
Sessions, secretary of state made the
reply and then the attorney general,
John Dawson closed the argument
The discussions were purely argu-
ments on the legal phases of the two
cases.
1t was asked that the supreme court
make its decision at once on all the
cases so that there could be time to
insert the bills into the statute book if
the court granted the writs of man
damus. 1t is expected that the court
will hand down an order during this
week but the opinion will not be writ
ten for some time.
