MISS PEEL LEAVES
Deputy County Clerk Hands
in Resignation.

Miss Addison Peel who has been
deputy county clerk for eight years
and until the present with county
clerk George r. Matthews has severed
her connection with the office, accept
ing position with local firm. Her
resignation is the matter of the great
est regret to attorneys and others
who have occasion to frequently visit
the office.
The resignation was handed in on
Thursday but county clerk George
Matthews informed frequenters of the
office on Friday that she was i'll. On
Saturday he said she had phoned to
him in the morning and asked to
know whether she could stay at her
home during the day. Miss Peel an
nounced Saturday her resignation had
gone into effect Thursday evening.
During the eight years she had been
connected with the office she had
familiarized herself with all the office
details These are innumerable and
she perhaps had better knowledge
of all of the Offices affairs than even
the former clerks. Her knowledge OF
the statutes also often proved great
aid to the attorneys.

STUDENTS WISH
TABLE MANNERS
Seniors in Kansas Univer-
sity Want Establishment
of Such Department.

Manhattan, Feb. 1S.-Don't balance
peas on your knife.
Don't eat potatoes with a spoon.
Don't pick your teeth with fork.
Don't eat pie SO ravenously that it
will get in your ears.
Don't tie your napkin around your
neck as though you were getting a
shave.
Don't dip your soup into your vest
pocket.
Don't make the extraction of soup
from spoon sound like escaping
steam.
Don't leave your spoon in your cot
fee and run the risk of knocking your
eye out.
Don't butter your bread with your
thumb.
Such is the text of paper signed by
"a hundred young seniors at the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. who
have decided to take course in ia
BILE manners.
The etiquette" course has been
talked of for weeks, but was not auth
orized by the administration because
it was desired to learn if the seniors
really were in earnest and if they &C
tually would participate in such in
struction.
The answer to this came when the
seniors held a meeting today. One of
the leaders desired those who favored
such a course to stand up. The whole
audience, more than d hundred, rose
promptly.
Mrs. Vanzile of thedomestic science
department wanted it understood that
the whole idea OF having table instruc-
ton had originated with the seniors.
The college was not trying to impose
any such instruction upon the stu
dents. The students had thought OF
it and asked for it, and for that reason
the department of domestic science
would try to give what was desired
The meals, Mrs. Vanzile said, would
consist of formal and informal hn
cheons and dinners, served in the din
ing room of the domestic science
building The seniors will eat five
luncheons and dinners under the
watchful eye of the instructor. En-
ample will serve for much. but moth
ing will be said about bad breaks. Nc
one will be called down. A student
who cannot learn by observation prob
want the course. If the seniors ash
for lectures later they may be arrang

band was the start of the martial
troubles of Henrietta and William
Wilson Gray. and for nearly seven
teen years Gray made things lively.
according to testimony which the wife
offered in the circuit court before
Judge Fox on Saturday. and which
was sufficient to secure her divorce.
The Grays started housekeeping
about twenty years ago and one day
about two weeks after their marriage,
while Mrs. G. was sewing button on
her husbands trousers. which he was
wearing at the time, she tshe says
accidently> stuck him with the sharp
end. He retaliated with a slap but
both forgave and forgot the occurance
after their tcmpers had subsidized.
Soon afterwards while they were
teasing each other. he attempted to
force her to so back to the sewing ma
chine. she ran out the back door and
he after her. Their house dog which
did not permit scuffling. took part in
the game and was ''sicced on" Mr.. G.,
nipping him on the arm. Mrs. Gray
was slapped d second time. The two
forsave and quit teasing each other
in the dogs presence.
Only on one other occasion did Gray
lift his hand against her. then he
pushed her off the stairs. Gray seem

que and embarrassed his wife on many
| occasions, she said. On the night OF
October 8. 1907, the Gray household
had little sleep. Mrs. Gray said. be-
cause her husband kept "fussing' the
entire night. The next morning, she
| told him as he was about to leave
for his work, We'll when you come
home, there will be no cook. / am
getting tired of putting up with your
continual fussing.'
The arrangement was not altogeth
er satisfactory for Gray informed his
wife, he would be the one who would
leave and he did. On two or three oc
casions he returned but each time he
quarreled and was finally refused ad
mittance. He also neglected to sup
ply the family larder and the mother
with the assistance of the three elder
of their six children, took up the bur
den. Some of the time it was prett,
close "scimping," she said, but de
clared they always managed to ge
along. She washed and kept board
ers. Gray was represented by an at
torney. He is living in Randolph
county. In addition to the divorce
the complainant also received the Gus
