diminution. The streets were flooded

While the papers were beng prepared

band and tho poet sat in a Broadway
hotel and quietly discussed with reporters
the problem Of matrimonial relations and

Sinclair told his wife that his attorney
would call later in Che day. and he ala So

If s,e must bother with papers. Mrs.
Sinclair was asked If she would fight the
divorce proceedings.

She seemed to be ignorant Of the
ground for divorce in New York,
When informed she said: ut does not
seem to me that divorce should be n
disgrace, even divorce obtained upon
such grounds as YOU say must ne

individual Is justified in pursuing his

Mre. Sinclair vas asked whether, in
the ideal state, marriage laws would

Il do not believe that laXity in the
divorce statutes would increase the
number of divorces" said Mrs SIN

And I do believe that divorce should
be made easier. Men and women d.
not rush headlong to complete ami

1t took me II years to bring my mind
to the point Of actual separation and
thinks other women would be as slow

THE TEXAS SHOT UP"
Once Proud Battleship a Sacrifice to
Modern Gunnery.

1t seems a pity, almost a shame,
for the navy department to have put
up the good old battleship Texas as
a target and permitted her to be
shot full of holes Would any sec
rotary of the navy have dared to
offer the Constitution as a similar
sacrifice to modern gunnery? Could
the Kearsage have been sent to
slaughter in similar manner? The
Texas was a ship of creditable, even
glorious. history She wasn't much
TO look at, possibly, but when Jack
Philip was in her coming tower at
Santiago she was holy terror to the
enemy, and the investigation of the
wrecks showed that the Texas made
as many hits as any other vessel in
the fleet. However, Jack" Philip is
dead, and now his once gallant old
ship has been shot to pieces and
sent to the bottom. So it goes. That
is what is coming to the best of US
anally.

FOR CONSUMPTION.
A Medicine That Does Not Cost Any
thing Unless 1t Cures.


The active medicinal ingredients
of RexalI Orderlies, which are odor-
less, tasteless and colorless, is an
entirely new discovery. Combined
with other extremely valuable in
gradients it forms a perfect bowel
regulator, intestinal invigorator and
strengthened. Rexall Orderlies are
eaten like candy, and are notable for
their agreeableness to the palate and
gentleness of action. They do not
cause gripping or any disagreeable
effect of inconvenience.
Unlike other preparations for a
like purpose they do not create a
habit, but instead they overcome the
cause of habit acquired through the
use of ordinary laxatives, cathartics
and harsh physic, and permanently
remove the cause of constipation or
irregular bowel action.
We will refund your money with
out argument if they do not do as we
say they will. Two sizes, 25c and
10c. Sold only at our store-The

CENTURY OLD TREE MOVED.
Transported Distance of Five Miles
and Still Lives.

ana sui Lives.
One of the largest and Oldest
trees ever moved in this country
was transported distance of five
miles and successfully transplanted.
This was a holly tree, which for a
century had grown at North Sea.
Country estates by the seashore
are being beautified with the great
trees of the forest, many of which
are % to SO years old. Newbold
Edgar, A. B. Boardman and G.. Gar
rington Curtis, summer residents of
Southampton, have had a large
number of trees transplanted upon
their property, gaining in certain
instances half century in growth
by the method employed.
A huge, specially constructed
steel truck is used to carry the
trees, which are taken up with a
great mass of roots embedded in the
earth that originally surrounded
the tree. Earth and roots are pack
ed in burlap and thus deposited in
tact and with undisturbed growth
in their new location.-Brookly
