part of the Mutt and Jeff program
will consist of a great ThanhOuser

when the Thanhouser company pur-
chased a house in New Rochelle, New

it down so as to get a realistic fire
scene for their drama of FLAMES and

When the babies came Mehitable of
Thomas, and while at first he accepted
this changed condition as something
inevitable and naturally to be expect
ed, nevertheless as the years went by,
as the children grew older and as he
realized despite her protestations to
the contrary that they came first and
he second in her affections and atten-
lions, he became intensely jealous of
them for season and then he grew
more than less careless and thought
less so far as Mehitable was concern
ed. AS the breach between them wild
ened, the wife wrapped herself and
her life more and more In and around
the children each day, until she and
Thomas finally entered into an unex-
pressed agreement to simply live their
own lives, each to be as thoroughly in
dependent of the other as 1t was posi-
BILE to be. In less than a year and un-
less we are very much mistaken
Thomas will marry fiashy girl about
! 80 years his junior. The girl Mehitable
had in mind and which she labeled
extreme cruelty" in her bill of partic-
ulars. Thomas will undoubtedly get
all and a little bit more than is coming
to him and both he and Mehitable will
for the balance of their lives eat their
hearts out day by day simply because
they were both proud, both foolish,
both more or less to blame, and all of
which brought them at last to that
most treacherous, dangerous, and dis.

her husband Thomas Elderblossom on
the grounds of extreme cruelty" We
have lived a neighbor to Mehitable
and Thomas for a good many years;
knew them in fact when they were
first married, and we remember also
that everybody in our little town said
at the time that it was particularly
good match. They were raised in the
same town, attended the same school,
sang the same gospel hymns in Sun
day School and Joined the same church
before either of them Of course were
old enough to really sense what they
were doing. For the first few years OF
their married life they got along beau

charge when the minister goes to trial. He repeated, today, however, that he would not change his mind about leaving his work at the capital in Washington to appear in the case here, in January.
 Little by little, a mere scrap here and there, the defense is making public how the fight to save the Baptist minister from the electric chair will be made. Asked to outline what the defense will be, Judge Dunbar, chief counsel, said he feels certain the facts will be developed at a trial which will surprise the district attorneys office. Another member of the defense coun- selsaid, today:
 "Yes, it is true we will try to prove that Richeson never bought cyanide from Druggist Hahn, as the latter claims. And we are certain of prov ing it, And we are certain beyond a doubt that the paste made by pr. Richeson was used to repair some books. We have the books and will show them to jury. We will show letters from Miss Linnell which will prove that Richeson was not responsi- ble for the unfortunate physical con- dition of the girl This one point, added to irrefutable evidence that Hahn didn't sell Richeson cyanide, is about all the defense would want to prove the accused innocent. However, we will have a few more surprises which will show where Dr. Richeson has been the victim of idle, vicious gossip

Her Early Resolution.

This story was told by an English man who lived century ago. He was dining out in London and sat by a lady whom he did not know. Their conver- sation turned upon early resolutions and how very seldom they were kept, and the lady said: Well. when. was girl made three resolutions--first, determined that would never marry q soldier; second. that I would never marry an Irishman. and. third, that would not be long engaged. And all those three resolutions broke. Whom do you think I did marry? The Duke of Wellington! He was a soldier and an Irishman. and I was engaged to him for twelve years" This was Lady Katherine Pakenham It was an un- happy marriage, and the couple mostly lived apart
