For about five years my wife and
myself have been considering a sepa-
ration which we realized should be
inevitable. Neither of us could enter
into pleasures or pursuits of the other.
we did not consider either of us AT
fault 1t was simply our misfortune
that we were badly mismated; we
lived our lives largely apart. My wife
was In Maine a great part of the time.
We have not lived together as man
and wife for more than two years.
we reached an agreement this
summer on divorce question, and
there remained nothing to prevent n
speedy accomplishment. Our enforced
separation was much more of hard
snip on myself than 1t was on my wife.
She was much better contented i'm
Maine as long as she had plenty OF
money. I thought she was entitled to
another chance. and new deal as
well as myself. Her instincts were
for peace and tranquility.
While our affairs became unsettled
she had the choice of remaining with
me and taking one-half of the thinr.a
IS l had them or going to Maine until
1t blew over. She always chose Maine
and refused to come back until things
were more prosperous, as her letters
will show" 4

NAVAL DISASTER DUE
TO DEFECTIVE POWDER
French ComInfssion Says 1t Caused
Expulsion on Wurship

Paris, October 29.-In the report OF
the naval commission OH the destruc-
tioI. of the battleship Liberte, at
Toulon. the members agree the disaster
was almost undoubtedly due to the
inflammation of b powder. which was
made at Pont du Buis in 1906" The
commission declares the French naval
disasters and the destruction of the
American warship Maine. in Havana
harbor, and the Japanese bnttleships
Mikasa and tIutshushima, show that
scientific tests of modern powders arc
insufficient.
AS II was this same powder to which
the explosion on the battleship Jena Is
attributed, the conclusions of the COM
mission have given great weight to the
charges made by NJ Maissin, director
OF the Pont du Buis Powder Works
who. since his appointment in Deem
Der, 1906, has repeatedly accused his
predecessor. NJ. Loupqe, malpractice
in manufacturing explosives during
that yc'r.
AS NJ. NIaissin and Louppc are no
toriously political opponents in the
lTinisterre general council. no great at
tentlon was paid TO the reports of NJ.
Maissin until the findings of the Ii
berte commission.
Now the country is determined to
discover IL the authorities neglected
the warnings by NJ. Maissin. The
called malpractices are connected with
the remarking of powder "B" by re.
placing the amylic alcohol, which evap
crates after the powder has been
manufactured for some time. This
operation could possibly be effective
IL not delayed too long. NJ. Maissin ac-
cused Louppe of marking the remade
powder with the 1906 date, as IL 1t
were new.
NJ. Louppe says he always followed
the naval regulations. Other evidence
goes to show that powder which had
been remade two years before was
mixed with new powder and marked
with the same date as the latter.

Ottawa, Ont, October 29.-While no

that the first session of the new Par
lament of Canada Will be called for

to be of exceptional brilliancy. There
la not only the added interest from

The matter has not been discussed very
seriously. but 1t is generally agreed
that at the outset there will be no eH-
tensive branching out on constructive
Legislation, even II the session should
/ not be a brief one.
| One OF the first tasks which Mr.. Bor-
zen Is likely to take up after obtaining

Eof politics ana mace the supJect OF

generally credited as being q leading
plank in Mr.. Bordens platform. He
made this proposal as an onset to the
{. appeal that the Liberals made to the

torn and bleeding body OF Mrs Juan

prosperous ranchman living near San

the plains miles from the ranch. About
the neck of the young woman was the

screaming out into the compound. Here
moose was put about her neck. The
most vicious of the Wild bronchos In
the compound was selected and the
other end OF the lariat was tied to a
saddle. which had been placed upon the
broncho with the greatest difficulty,
and only after the young wife's slayer
had shown himself possessed of the
best OF horse subduing qualities Then
as the woman was screaming the
broncho was dashed so savagely that
lie ran saortIng in terror away from
the ranch.
Chamzal, the husband, was found by
