Big Fire at Leslie.
Leslieite.

Friday afternoon the hre whistle
of the H. D. Williams Cooperage
Company sounded. and within fifteen
minutes the entire business section OF
the city was deserted and the yards
of the mill were filed with men ready
and willing TO assist in fighting the
fire fend. Men realized the loss the
city would sustain in the loss of the
largest barrel factory in the world
and were ready and willing to lend a
helping hand.
The fire started in the hub mill and
ever, thing being thoroughly dry the
fire gained headway before the hose
reels could be brought into play,
and bv the time the fighters were on
the scene the entire plant of the hub
mill was in flames.
The fire being favored by the wind
it was swept into the yards which
contained the choicest slaves and
heading of the works-thos which
are used for export purposes-and
completely wiped them off the yards.
Fire falling over the entire yard
necessitated the placing of men in
various places to extinguish the
flames before they would gain head
way.
The blaze leaped a hundred feet in
the air and threatened the Offices of
the company so that it was deemed
wise to remove all contents of real
value to place Of safety.
Had it not been for the timely aid
of citizens and the railroad company
the entire plant would have gone up
in flames. The total loss will
amount to about S50,000,0O0.

When q Man Leaves Arkansas

Occasionally a good man grows
dissatisfied with Arkansas.
The milk is too yellow or the
honey is too sweet, and he doesn' t
like them to flow over his land
anyway
So he parts with his farm, sells his
live stock and other thingS too
numerous to mention and moves to
Texas or Oklahoma.
Once there he uses his Arkansas
money and buys farm, which today
is and tomorrow is not, because the
wind has blown it away.
Or, perhaps, he tries Colorado and
slushes in the mud irrigating strip
of land so narrow that a cow can t
Jump in the field without jumping
over it.
He hears of Mexico and goes down
to hunt the bag of gold at the end OF
the rainbow.
In the day time he scratches the
sandburs out of his flesh and
centipedes crawl over his flesh
at night
When his money is all gone he feels
like he did the first night he stayed
away from home.
He yearns for good old Arkansas
and yearns stick in his throat and
choke him until tears come into his
eyes.
He would give a months wages
to see the cows standing at the bars
on his old Arkansas iarm and hear
the old familiar horn blow for din
ner
Memory is a marvellous painter
and paints the things we love best.
1t pictures to the traveller the corn
silken fields he once owned, the cot
ton stretching away in sea of
white as white as snow.
1t shows him the trees that whis-
pered to his children at play, paints
the roses in the corner of the fence,
and with infinite detail paints thous-
ands of things that touch the heart
and reveal the old home place.
Happy indeed is the man who
wakes to find he has wandered
away from dear old Arkanras only
in his dream.
So, good people of Arkansas, think
twice before you leave the old home
place.

.SANDERFUR GETS A
LONG PEN SENTENCE
Found Guilty of Grave 0ffense by
Jury-His Wife Had
Left Him.

Calhoon, KY, Jan. 1S,-After hav-
ing had the case for nearly twenty
four hours, and after considering the
matter for almost twelve hours, the
jury in the Sanderfur case returned
verdict of guilty this afternoon
about 2 o'clock, finding Sanderfur
guilty of having had criminal rela-
tions with Ruth Smith, the feeble
minded daughter of ]. F. Smith, a
prominent liveryman of the Beech
Grove vicinity, and fixed his punish
ment at ten years in the penitenti-
airy. The jury received the case
Tuesday shortly after noon, and for
awhile 1t was believed the members
of the jury would disagree, as they
we're closeted until late Tuesday
night. 1t is understood the jury
agreed that he was guilty, but that
there was some disagreement as to
the number of years he should be
imprisoned for the crime.
The case has attracted consider
able attention because of the promi-
hence of all parties concerned, and
the court room was crowded again
to-day. The verdict of the jury was
received without any manifestation
of feeling among the spectators.
Sanderfur is member of a prom
inent Beech Grove family, and is
we'll known in that locality. After
the charge had been preferred
against him, however, his wife Sc

with the human race can be carried
little too far. 1t is not disputed
perhaps 1t is beyond dispute-that
the monkey is physically related to
mankind but in the soul,the divinity
of mind and intellect, the monkey
seems to be just as distant from
men, Just as far below human be-

ment is made here of the marriage
of Miss Giulda P. Morosini, daughter
of the late Giovanni P. Morosini, a

Miss Morosini, who picked out Wer-
ner from among the platoon OF

HUSBAND GAVE
WIFE A DIVORCE
To Marry the Man of Her
Choice.
NOW COUPLE CARE FOR HIM
Wife Grew Uneasy About the
Welfare of Her Former
Husband.
NOW REGARDED AS CHILDREN

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 21.-Not
many women would have the cour-
age to make a home happy for a
husband and an ex-husband at the
same time. But that is just what
Mrs. W. A. Wilson, who was form
erly Mrs. A. w. Luce, is trying to
do now at her home at 1856 North
street, st. Francis avenue.
According to Mrs. Luce's own ac-
count of the novel situation, when
she was very young girl she mar
ried A. w. Luce. He was many
years older than his wife. Two
years ago Mrs. Luce met w. A. Will
son, young man about her own
age. The two fell in love.
When Luce found 1t out, and that
he could not make his wife happy,
he offered to let her get divorce so
that she could marry young Wilson.
She finally agreed. Wilson had gone
TO Los Angeles, and when the d.
vorce was granted last June, Mrs.
Luce went to Los Angeles and mar
ried Wilson.
Her travelling expenses we're paid
by her former husband, and she car
ried with her a sim OF money as a
wedding gift from him. He is veal
thy.
According to the laws of Cali
fornia the marriage was legal.
However. it was not legal under the
Kansas laws, which provide that a
divorced person must not marry in
side of six months. At the time of
the wedding all three parties con-
cerned thought it was perfectly le-
gal.
After Mrs. Wilson had been in
California a few months she grew
homesick. Finally she could no Ion
ger bear to think that her former
husband, who had been so kind to
her, might be needing her to take
care of him, as old age crept on. So
she wrote to Mr.. Luce and he went
to Los Angeles. The three then
made a home in the Western city
untf1 the first of this month, when
thew came back to Wichita to live
in the pretty bungalow of Mr.. Luce.
To legalize the marriage the young
couple went to Newton and were re-
married at the court house. Mr..
Luce says that the younger couple
seem like children to him, and that
he wants to have them with him
while he lives and see them happy

One of the Most Serious
Confronting Us.
ONE DIVORCE TO EVERY 500
Married Couples in This COun-
try, According to Cen
SuS of 1900.
A FEW SUGGESTIVE REMEDIES

According to the census of 1890,
there was a married population in
the United States of 22,447,769,
with an annual average of 33,197
divorces. That is, there was one
divorce to every sc of married pop
ulation. According to the census
of 1900, there was a married popu-
lation of 27,77O,1O1, with an an
nual divorce record of 55,5O2, or
enc divorce to every 500 of married
population. Between 1887 and 1906
the record of divorces reached the
amazing total of 945,625. Nearly a
million American marriages went
to pieces in twenty years. That is,
disruption overlook 47,2S1 mar
riages a year. S,94O a month-more
than 100 a day.
No one section of the country
produces a much larger divorce crop
than another. Louisiana, with its
large Catholic population, Mormon
Utah, and Unitarian Massachusetts
furnish similar figures More
broadly speaking, the divorce rate
rises as we cross the map westward,
but, on the whole, the rate is fairly
even throughout the country. The
rate is slightly larger in cities than
in the country, but divorce is by
no means a city problem.
II is astonishing to find that d.
vorce laws, stringent or liberal, af-
feet the rate very slightly. New
Hampshire, Utah and South Dakota
show almost exactly the same pro-
portion of divorces per population
and per marriages. New York with
it's one cause for divorce and New
Jersey with it's half dozen causes
show a rate nearly identical.
The solution of our divorce prob
lem lies in securing better rela-
ton between men and women in ev-
cry department of lif 1t is an arc
anomaly in this Republic that there
should be any distinctions on &C
count of sex. It is absurd that wo
men should receive lower wages
than men for equal work performed
or equal service given. 1t is unfair
to deny women their share in public
housekeeping. 1t is unjust to tag
them and at the same time refuse
them citizenship.
American women are as we'll ed
ucated, as intelligent, as moral, as
conscientious, and, within their op
portunities, as efficient as American
men. Once this is fully recognized
once the last vestige of sex preju
dice and sex contempt vanishes from
custom and from the statute books
once the same standard of morals IL
recognized in society as it is in the
law; once 1t is made at least as easy
for women as for men to earn ar
honorable living; once marriage or
absolutely equal terms is. made pos
sible-no moral or physical advan'
tage on the side of the husband. nc
pharisaism allowed on the part Of
the wife
Then it will be perfectly safe tc
attach a divorce coupon to ever~
marriage certificate, with permits
sion for both parties to tear it off al
will.--[Rheta Childe Dorr in the
January Forum.
