A True Story of One Divorce.

The landlady worked from morning
until night; the daughter played. Moth.
er took her breakfast to her in bed
daughter was too tender a plant to come
in contact with the rough things OF life.
and the foolish mother shaved long hours
that the girl might be idle and luxurious.
To vary the monotony of the young
mems calls, the daughter took music
lessons. but neither she nor her moth
er would tolerate a criticism, so the
girl played badly.
At all social functions she was the
handsomest dressed girl in the house;
knowing that the landlady owed 5000
grocery bill, the neighbors made unkiud
comments about the girls extravaganza.
my daughter must be we'll dressed
and dainty" said the landlady, so she
may marry we'll | do not want her
ever to have to work
But the girl neither saw nor cared
for her mothers sacrifices.
Presently the man came. The girl
was Young and fresh and he married
her. He was in business. was steady,
sober. and had prospects OF advance
ment. but he could only keep wife
modestly. They started keeping house
in small fiat in another city, having
every modern convenience. The Young
husband expected his wife to do the
homework, but she rebelled,
u have never had to work; | won't
be your slave, so there."
The husband cooked his own break
fast and then rode to business. The
girl sat at home and moped. The land
lady back home was toiling as she had
done for Is years. The girl sent for
her mother, who came and made scene.
Then. suddenly, the young husband
had hemorrhage. The girl nursed him,
and for time things we're better. Then
il became evident that he would be an
invalid for some years. The lgndlady
said Ii was outrageous; her daughter had
married to be cared for, and not to
nurse any man. And she took the girl
home. The girl posed as martyr; the
husband went west alone. Then the
girl secured divorce.
Within q wear she married a man
with square jaw, hooked nose and
plenty of money. The landladv died,
and the girl was face TO face with life
for the first time. A year after her Sec
ond marriage twins arrived She set
tied down because she had to. She was
provided for, but her eNtravagaBce and
lazy selfshness were not tolerated. She
had her part OF lfe's work to do, but
she did It as a martyr. She regarded
her life as q failure. In the course Of
years she learned her lesson, but the
second husband, TOO, paid for his folly
in marrying her, and she was never
happy woman.
And the first husband? He died Of
consumption among strangers. I should
not care to have the girls conscience.
But was she wholly to blame?
Incidentally this is a true story--A-
bany Times-Union.

BLOOD STONES IN NEVADA.
Discovery In Death Valley May
Prove Valuable One.

Several Salt Lake Mining men
have a properties in Death Valley
that contains the genuine blood
stone so highly priced for jewelry
purposes.
The supply of this material here
tofore has come exclusively from
abroad, and specimens submitted to
Maynard Bixby, the local mineralo-
gist, have been pronounced the real
article. Mr.. Bixby will submit these
to the finishing process to determine
their commercial value. There can
be no question of the quantity.
The stone is found within an old
crater, and where it differs as yet
from the foreign article is in the
quantity of blood-red color. The
imported stone has innumerable
small blood specks, while the Death
Valley product has large bloches of
the red in the Enthusiastically
beautiful dark green matrix. Mr..
Bixby stated that this was the first
instance in his experience where the
blood stone is to be found in the
United States.
