ran over the menu his decision weak
ened and he went home.
His wife, instead of greeting him
with tears, had on a nice white apron,
and set dinner fit for kings before
him. He ate to repletion, so that
when he arose after it and said he
was about to return to his vessel, it
was easy for Mrs. Stewart to persuade
him to take a little nap before so
doing.
AS soon as Stewart had begun to
snore the sleep of perfect digestion
Mrs. Stewart and Charlie bound him
fast to his couch with clothesline, and
then Mrs. Stewart sewed a sheet
about him. Then she sent Charles to
the police station, and when the po-
Hceman came they took Stewart to
the station on his bed, and there his
bonds were cut.

r. HE other day a divorce was
i granted in Pittsburg that ended
a marriage of 80 years, during all of
which time the man and woman had
been separated on account of a stub
born within of the bride. When Mary

ried Mary corrected the minister and
| declared that she was not willing to
! include the word obey in the mar
riage service. After the ceremony
the pair proceeded to their home, and
there the bridegroom began to reason

said she considered the word obey
foolish, as she had no intention of do

had that which men usually declare a

One time, she related, when the fam

Romance Versus Committing.


IF THE timetables had been differ

work had been shorter, if Delawanna,
n. J., had been nearer to New York,
Isabelle Holden is sure that the dream
of her married life would never have
been shattered For the irksomeness
of arising at a. m. to start her hus-
bands breakfast, of backing his shoes
at night so that he would not be late
in starting for his train of seeing
that he really arose when the alarm
clock gave it's warning, wore all the
romance out of her life. The wife
who stays at home" she said, com

The rush to the train and the rush
home made Dermot nervous and irri-

take her out any place or to be any COM

at Delawanna. they were not able to
dispose of it, and until they did they

HARD TRIP FOR MCFARLAND
Stockyard Idol Couldn't Put Out
Harlem Tommy Murphy

San Francisco, Nov. SO.-"Packey"
Mcfarland the idol Of the Chicago
stockyards, won and lost yesterday
when he got the decision over "Har-
lem Tommy" Murphy at the end of
20 rounds OF fighting before 5000
critical spectators. Netherlands vic.
tory over the New Yorker whom 80
per cent Of those present expected
him 70 knock out, was clean and left
little room for argument But the
rank and file of experts and fight fol-
lowers seemed unanimous that as an
opponent Of Champion "Ad" Wolgast
the Chicagoan was an impossibility
Mcfarland and his handlers said
he broke his right hand in the 18th
round. A cursory examination at
the conclusion of the fight showed
the hand to be much swollen, but of
this the public was not aware until
after II had left the arena. McFar
land, If he really broke his hand,
fought a wonderful battle. Murphy,
on the other hand, gave an exhibition
! OF gameness and ability TO come back
rarely seen In a prize ring. During
the early round Mcfarland fairly
smothered the little Harlem fighter
with dazzling variety of punches
from which there was no escape.
Once he sent Murphy fat on his back
but Tommy" was up in a trice. ap.
parently none the worse for wear
time and again Murphy was all but
fought out of the ring into the laps
Of the newspaper reporters, and ap
peared to be in great distress. but
the well.defned punch was not forth
coming to give him his quietus.
: Mcfarland opened cuts over
Murphy's eyes and damaged his left
ear until II looked like an egg. In
the face of this constant rapid fire
the easterner fought back ever,
minute and made better showing IN
the last two rounds than did Nc
Farland. Both fighters showed the
marks of the conflict, but they wer,
OF a superficial nature. MoFarlant
expects to start Monday for Chicag,
whence he will proceed to New Yorl
TO Keep an engagement with Matt
Wells, the British champion.

to cover the cost OF the dispatch Of
Russian troops to, that country.
The vote of the National Council
which rejected the Russian ultima
tum was cast in open session. A
subsequent secret sitting of the mem
bers was practically unanimous
against compliance. A cablegram
from British Foreign Minister Sir Ed
ward Grey was presented to the AS
sembly during its sitting. The dis.
patch urgently advised compliance
with the Russian demands, but some
of the members pointed out that Eng
lands advise had hitherto only led to
Persian humiliation. They believed
that Sir Edward Grey had been mis-
informed and emphatically asserted
that Russian injustice had become in
tolerable. They thought that resis
lance or the part of the Persian gov
eminent to the Russian demands
would awaken foreign attention anC
lead to an impartial inquiry. Com
pliance on the other hand will be con
strued as sign of abject cowardic'
and would mean national suicide.

nedy a man with Jail record and
John Watkins with whom the officers

stated tonight that although there
was no absolute evidence with which

This, was the only new thing

connection with one of the boldest
robberles occurring in Rutland coun-
ty in a number of years. On the
day previous to the break the owner
remembered two suspicious looking
men entering the store and asking
the way to an Italian camp situated
but a few miles from the village
They bought a revolver and went
away. Today Sheriff Ricci visited
the camp and one of the men was
found there while another had gone
off seeking work. They were not the
ones wanted and the Italians stated
they had been in the house the hour
of the break.
