IT'S HUSBAND WHO
Is THE MORE PATIENT
Divorces Asked by Wives are for
Trivial Causes

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Woman, not
man, is the principal home wrecker.
You wouldn't believe it, at least If
you shun court rooms. where they
keep cold figures on the subject.
According to Joseph e. Bidwell,
clerk of the circuit court, here is
what the figures show: About 80 per
cent of the divorce suits now in the
court are brought by wives and the
same ratio of them are brought for
trivial causes, Including Incompatible
ity and such trifles as are not consid-
cred an infraction of the civil or NOR
al laws.
Also in Cook county it is found
that while 90 per cent of the suits
are brought by women the other 10
per cent instituted by men are based
on charges of desertion. immo con-
duct and similar delinquencies Men
are shown as long suffering, for the
average duration of married life
I where the husband is the plaintiff is
found to be twice the length of time
shown by the suits where the women
are the plaintiffs.
Women, the statistics show, seem to
have less regard for their children,
for the cases in which women have
applied for divorce usually reveal
three children in the family, whereas
the suits brought by men usually
have only one child.
! Immediately mothersin-law are
found, according to the same statis-
tics, to be much maligned. The moth
er-in-law is found to sympathize with
her i>n-in-law and daughter lila W
just as often as she does with her
own child. But the real evil of the
divorce court is the cosby woman
she's more of menace to the mari
tai community than all the mothers
in-law or father-in-law or bad hus-
bands or recalcitrant wives in the
land.
The marryingin-haste nuptials last
about as long as the marriages pre-
coded by long courtship, and the
Catholics who make about 20 per
cent of Chicago's population, appear
in about only l per cent of the di.
vorces.

IT'S not query deep, profound,
To try or test your puzzled brow
TITS not about the weather-nay-
If you would choose u dry or wet
Incline your ear and listen, pray:
Have you begun to buy 'em yet?
IT'S not question mighty, deep,
on which you'd lie awake at night
And lose the hours of precious sleep
And ponder DER till broad daylight
Not so, kind sir---or madam-no.
A simpler query you've not met,
Pause, while l ask If it is so
Have you begun to buy 'em yet?

TO put to you and vex you sore;

You with enigmas, nor to bore

Glad Christmas day is drawing near

Socialist party in England made tre-

pal election. The result proves tina:
one voter in every six in the country

20. 900 socialist votes cast in 1900 the
number has now risen to 100000.
According to the secretary of the Anti
Socialist party will be in fun control

Most of the socialist gains were
made at the expense of the Liberals
but in a number of cities especially
Liverpool, the stronghold of unionism,
that party also lost ground. The labor
party is undoubtedly disappointed by
the showing its members have made

Socialism. 1t is considered remark
able that these gains should have
been made in the face of the program
of radical social reform measures adj

gains OF the use of troops by the gov

The pipe which Sir Walter Raleigh
will soon be offered for sale by a Lon
don dealer in antiquities The last
smoke of the man who introduced to-
bacco into Europe was enjoyed in a
pipe, which plainly shows its Ameri-
can origin. Ornamented in savage
style, it is made of Virginia maple
wood, which has been carved into a
number of heads representing dogs
and Indians. In it's stem is a whistle
which the knight was supposed to
have used in summoning his servants.
According to the history of this in
teresting relic, Raleigh smoked it on
the scaffold, and at the last moment
handed it to Bishop Andrews as a

LONDON, Dec. Oscar Hammer
stein. the American impresario, who
recently launched a twenty weeks
season of grand opera in his ornate
new building which he calls the Lon
don Opera House, is an object of vast
curiosity to the English theater going
public.
Covent Garden has been for decades
the home of grand opera in London,
and opera here is primarily a society
affair; but Hammerstein comes into
the field without associates, with no
wealthy syndicate enlisting the influ-
ence of prominent names. with almost
no singers of great reputation, and
calmly announces that he proposes to
compete with Covent Garden merely
by giving good opera.
Among all the big cities of Europe
London is indifferent to opera, and
even the Covent Garden syndicate,
with long roll of the rich and titled
persons subscribing for boxes, has not
been able to afford the pre-eminent
stars who sing in New York. Caruso
has been beyond London's means for
several years. Notwithstanding these
conditions, Mr.. Hammerstein built an
immense house in a summer, adver-
| tised a season of twenty weeks, and
lalthough the only names among his
singers that would attract attention
| in America are Cavilieri and Renaud,
| he says he is confident of success.
He claims to have invested million
dollars of his own money in the ven
ture and there are some who predict
| that the Covent Garden syndicate
eventually will buy his new house, as
the Metropolitan bought him out in
New York.
The Covent Garden opera house is
on land owned by the Duke of Bed
| ford. Adjoining 1t are several squares
occupied by the Covent Garden mar
kets, so that romantic opera is sat
urated with the odor of cabbages and
potatoes. 1t is a dingy old building,
although a comfortable and substan-
tial one, but it is said that the duke
would find it profitable to buy the re-
naming term of the lease and rent
the land for the sale of pigs and tur-
nips. Mr.. Hammersten may have in
side knowledge of these conditions.
He maintains an outward calm, says
little and works all day and most of
the night.
