SCHOOL NOTES

Mr. Tenbrook of the Glenwood
greenhouses, spent three days last week
instructing the school children in how
TO grow plants. The plants he used
to Illustrate good as well as bad care
were grown by him especially for this
occasion. His talk was interesting as
well as helpful, and he was plyed with
many questions by the pupils of the
lower grades.
The Dewey Decimal system for
checking books has been installed in
the school library. This system is con
sidcred superior to any other and the
cost is very little when the value of
such a system is considered.
The teachers left the latter part of
this Feek for Denver and it is feared
by the pupils that they will be back
again for school Monday.
The FIRE drills have been kept up this
year and without any effort the build
ing has been emptied in about forty
seconds.
Mrs. John Girdler, wife of the. school
superintendent. will leave next weak

MRS. PATTERSON
BARES HER SOUL
In Her Defense Against Charge
Of Numbering Husband
Tells Awful Story Of
Her Past
COURT ROOM CROWDED

Denver, Nov 24-As the case OF
Mrs. Gertrude Patterson. on trial foi
the murder Of her husband, progresses
it becomes more and more sensational.
The scramble of the curious crowds to
secure good locations in the court room
where they can watch every move II
the accused and hear her testimony
is intense and the special policemen
delegated to maintain order are rot
equal to the emergency.
In Judge Allen s court today the far
prisoner laid bare her soul and recite1
ner hfe's history with all of its ter.
rible depravity. 1t has been u long
time since the morbid and curious a..
tendants at Denver's criminal courts
have listened to story in the nature
of confession SO reeking with revolt
ing anu .acious incidents.
In an effort to defend herself Tor
the killing of her husband for which tue
district attorney demands that she
now pay the penalty of the law the wo-
man admitted her unholy liason with
Millionaire Strouse and confessed to
travelling with him in Europe as his
wife, but claimed that her husband sold
her to Strouse and forced her to ae-
company him on the foreign trip in
consideration of $500 which Strouse
paid her husband at the latter s sug-
gestion.
The details of her story were for the
most part of a character which cannot
be printed. 1t was hard for the court
bailiffs to keep the audience seated, as
men and women, especially the latter,
kept rising and craning their necks to
get better view of the prisoner as
she recited her terrible story. The SYM
pathies of some were drawn out toward
the woman while others were hardened
against her as she told the terrible
story of her life, and the manner IN
which her husband had abused her.
"He sold me to Strouse that nigh.
accompany the latter to Europe" she
said, and then, coming down to the
time Immediately before the shooting,
she said, in part: 81 telephoned him

DIVORCE AND DOMESTIC WOMAN

A keen lawyer remarked in my pres
ence, recently, "There's one thing that
is proved in my divorce practice. 1t is
rarely the domestic woman who is sep
arated from her husband"
He went on to elucidate. "Don It for
heavens sake misunderstood me.
don't mean the mamby- pamby woman
who is usually dubbed domestic be
cause no other adjective fits her. The
really domestic woman is something
different. She makes fine art of
home keeping. And men want that
kind of wives, and they don't let them
go easily. Such women are not drudges,
they are executives, and, whether they
cook and sew, or hire people to do it
for them, they achieve beauty and Or
der in the household
"Oh, 1 know all that tommy rot
about considering tn physical com
fort of the male as the chief duty of
woman Women have rebelled at that
ideal. Yet human nature is human
nature. We all like to be comfortable,
and have yet to know of any woman
who goes cold and hungry and ill-clad,
cheerfully, however high her aspira-
tions. There is greater harmony be
tween husband and wife when the
household machinery runs smoothly,
hence fewer separations less divorce -
Ny own definition of the domestic
woman, is "one who loves her home, "
and, loving it, makes it haven.
"When Wilfred's cross with me-"
says charming little woman in
charming little story, "I make him up
chicken pie. -
And again, "Wilfred looked cheerful,
because he loves his breakfast coffee
strong, and I slipped in spoonful
extra for him.
"How trivial,'' says some strong
minded soul. Yet it is on such trivial
things that domestic destinies hang,
and, as a matter of fact, the chicken
pie and coffee, offered at psycholog-
ical moment, show evidence of wit and
wisdom on the part of Wilfred's little
wife.
1t is this domestic intuition which
makes happy homes. Husbands possess
it, now and then, when they bring
box of candy or bunch of violets as
peace offering after the mornings
quarrel. Both the box of candy and
the chicken pie are physical evidences
of spiritual understanding Does that
sound far-fetched? Well, think it out,
and perhaps you'll find that where
love dictates an action, the action par
takes of the sublime
"To sum. it all up" was the final
statement of the observant lawyer, "it
is rich women whose husbands depend
upon them for nothing, light minded
women, who spend their time in play
ing bridge and in running to the shops,
brilliant women, who DO not use their
brains for practical purposes, who seek
separation and divorce. The women
who hold the hearts of their husbands
are no less brilliant, and they have
time for social pleasures and for intel
lectual pursuits, but they bring to the
settling of domestic problems an affec-
tion which combines expertness with
common sense-a gift of the gods in
most cases, but capable of cultivation
by those who seek it earnestly.'

POLICEMAN To
IDENTIFY MAN
Weitzen at New Brunswick
to See Albert Sotmar.

Patrolman Israel Weitzen failed
to identity at New Brunswick the
man alleged to have stabbed him on
October 10. 1908, and will probably
make another attempt today. The
officer went to the county Jail In
stead of the city lookup through an
oversight and therefore could not
find his man. The prisoner has now
been transferred to the county jail
to serve a ten-day sentence for fight
Ing in New Brunswick last Friday
night. Patrolman Weitzen and an
other local officer are working on
the case today and the former hopes
to pick out his assailant. -.
Policeman Weitzen had other diff
culties when he began working on
the case Saturday. He lost almost
two hours time by making the mis-
take Of boarding a Jersey Central
trolley car and going to Keyport IN
stead Of New Brunswick, where he
had intended to go. He was forced
to return to this city from Keyport
and then board a car OF the Public
Service line.
AS told, Weitzen was stabbed In
the back and had his eye knocked
out with a blackjack In october OF
1908. Joseph Sotmar was arrested
for hitting Patrolmen WeitzeD and
George Kozusko. One, believed to
have been his brother Albert, es-
capped and he Is believed to- be the
man now in jail In New Brunswick

name after his arrest Friday night.
