President Taft is grand-uncle. The
new claimant TO Taft fame arrived in
Seattle, Wash, few days ago, where

country of which her uncle is Presi-
dent. The mother is Mrs. George

SAVAGE FISH.

The most savage and bloodthirsty

teen inches in length and look not un.
like the northern bass, although more
powerfully built. They have been
known to attack an alligator. discover

The perai are silvery green in color.

1t is fortunate that in all the length

are found only in widely scattered To-
calities. Thus one pool will harbor a
/ great school of them, while for miles
in either direction up or down the

cation the jungles would be nearly
stripped of animal life. for beasts and
birds and reptiles must drink, and
while those of few species can get
all the water they need from the dew
on the leaves in the morning, by far
the greater number must come to the
streams and pools. Even creatures
like that master fisherman. the otter
must give the perai wide berth. and
no other fish can inhabit the same

Domestic Break.

Separation Really Begins Year OF
Wedding-Every Woman Has
Her Own Ideal.

Chicago. Dec. Ito save my |
friends the trouble of saying it, my
marriage was absurd from the start"
Mrs. Lillian Bell Bogue, whose fame
as a writer is known the world over,
yesterday made the above statement
while discussing her separation from
her husband, Arthur Bogue.
In a remarkable interview this bril-
liant and gifted woman explained why
she had found 1t impossible to live
with the husband who, she freely de-
clares, tried In many ways to please
her.
But the whole secret Of the affair
appears TO have been an attempt to
mate two entirely mismated people.
Mrs. Bogue declares that the separa-
ton which occurred last April began
10 years ago.
Or, in other words, they apparently
had scarcely been married when she
discovered that she had made mis-
take, but has been trying during the
intervening years to remedy II.
QUESTION OF TEMPERAMENT.
A question entirely OF temperament,
here has been a woman with a most
brilliant mind, Of extraordinary mental
attachments, and a man who enjoyed
a good meal and a drink, and whose
mind did not offer any mental stimulus
IN hers.
Il should have known continued
Mrs. Bogue yesterday, that persons
educated along such widely different
lines never could hope TO be compati
BILE. You take such a man as Mr.
Bogue, who wasted the short time he
was in college. and who is given over
to an enjoyment of the material things
in life, and he marries a woman who
is fairly fond OF society, but who has 6
serious object in life; who is fond o.
society for recreation only, and ash

They can live together harmoniousl!
only until the glamour is worn on. anC
then they begin to tell each other thu

April is only the result or effect of
separation that commenced 10 year
ago. That was when discovered tina
