THROWS
WIG INTO AUDIENCE

st. Paul, Feb. 25.-This is not a
press agent story. The girls say so
themselves. Misses Bernham and
Greenwood. who put on stunt at
the Orpheum this week. entitled Two
Girls and a Piano" called at the cen
trail police station and said they had
been robbed. One wig, valued at s25,
they say, was stolen.
Here's the way it happened. At the
close of their act, Miss Greenwood
is supposed to grab Miss Bernham' S
honest-to-g oodness-real-hair wig and
throw it to the orchestra pit. Miss
Greenwood put on too much speed and
the curly locks went clear into the
third row.
Instead OF returning the switch as
the gentIemanly members of the or
chestra had always done, the man who
caught it put it in his pocket. 1t was
there when he left the theater.
And now Manager Clarence Dean,
the Wigless Miss Bernham and her
strong armed partner want the police
10 find the missing hair.

EX-JUDGE SUSTAINS
HIS OWN MOTION

Shelbyville, Ind, Feb. 25.-It seems
to have been a case of force of habit
with viii NJ. Sparks, of Rushville, for
merly Judge of the Shelby-Johnson jul
dicial circuit of Indiana. that led law
yers here to get the laugh on him.
John Kipling was asking a question of
witness when Mr.. Sparks. represent
ing the plaintiff. objected, and his OBJ
jections were rather strenuous. as he
thought Mr.. Kiplinger was going too
far with the witness. Finally he jump
ed from his seat and said: Il sustain
the objection" and Judge Blair and
the attorneys smiled. The former
judge had six years of sustaining" OBJ
jectfons on the bench in Rush and
Shelby counties and it was natural for
him to sustain an objection.

word from Crestline. o., that a man
wanted at that point had boarded a
Big Four railroad train and was
thought to be headed for this city or

Two policemen hurried through the
cars and experienced no difficulty in
getting all of the men TO open their
mouths to show whether all of their
front teeth were filled with gold. Some
of the men were rather astonished at
the request and occasionally only by
a smile by one gave the officers all
the tooth display that was desired.

WANTS DECREE OF
DIVORCE NOLLIED

Valparaiso, Ind, Feb. 25.-Mrs. Bar
bara Bowes, of Lewisburg, Pa, filed a
suit here to set aside a decree of di-
vorce granted by Special Judge A. l..
Osborne, April /, 1869, to Manning
Bowes. whom she claims to have mar
ried at Lewisburg, August 81, 1859 and
with whom she continued to live until
January l., 1867, when by mutual
agreement he departed for the West to
make a home for them and their
daughter Eva, now Mrs. Guyer, of
Ashbourne, Penn.
In 1890 he purchased a home for his
wife and daughter in Lewisburg and
thereafter until the time of his death
in San Francisco, December 9, 1910,
he supported his wife and daughter
with s45 and $50 month, respectively.
In the meantime he secured divorce
without notifying her of the proceed
ings. The complaint alleges that he
married a daughter of Methodist
minister in Connecticut, was divorced
from her and then married Minnie E.
Bowes, now a resident of San Fran
cisco. No trace can be found of the
Connecticut woman.
Mrs. Bowes claims that her husband
obtained divorce through fraud that
she is denied participation in his es-
tate of 100000 left in California by
Bowes; has no means of support at
the age of seventy years. and asks that
the divorce decree be set aside to pro-
vide her with privileges of a widow.

straight along the narrow footpath
along the canal to his home. II was
one of FritZ's peculiarities that no

A HAPPY HOMECOMING

The husband who comes home from
his daily toll, whether working for
small or large pay, must appreciate
the presence of a wife well gowned
and restfuily awaiting him, and chill
dren equally well groomed and show
ing every evidence of maternal care.
A woman does not need to be a
slave to drudgery, but a happy home
builder. Hewitt's Easy Task soap is
of the greatest help to this blessed
condition, because it lessons the Ia
Dor of keeping the home and all that
pertains to it clean, wholesome and
attractive. No friction to such a

Fritz Pitt had all his life been rath-
er fond of the bottle. Nor was he
fastidious in his taste. Lager beer,
and common corn brandy-everything
was welcome TO his dry throat. But
unfortunately Fritz was forced to join

case it was Micke. who had the Will.
Micke was his wife.
Now of course, il was different, for
Micke had died in her bed during the
night. That she should thus have
left him without saying a word was a
thing that Fritz could never under
stand. She never would have done
so in her life.
Fritz was standing in front of a
brown painted wall cupboard with the
loaded glass panes holding big cup
with many nickels and a few silver
coins in his trembling hand. He
glanced cautiously at his dead compan-

hat. and, wearing this, alighted from
the train in Des Moines and looked
anxiously for a girl with red rose. He
waited several hours and then took a
train and went to Mt. Etna. He called
at the girls home and she was sur
prised to see him. She said that she
had sent him a special delivery let
ter telling him not to come. as she
had changed her mind about marry
ing. Newport returned to Logansport,
bringing the silk hat instead of a wife.
