The people who celebrate theil
tlttleth wedding anniversary are
few, but when a worthy couple
nave lived to enjoy their sixty
second together, they are in
deed to be congratulated.
Such is the great happiness
OF our old and respected citi-

Miss Pinkie Chinn, their
granddaughter, spared no pains
to make them remember, with
fondest recollections, that on
the eighteenth of July in the
year 1850, they first plighted
their troth.
She decorated the dining table

there so long. Could one draw
a more beautiful picture of
domestic peace and tender de-
votion?
One can but feel that they
were loath to rise from the
table and forget the sentiment
tai in the busy, practical, every
day life.
In the evening Miss Pinkie
had invited the resident rela-
tives to come and congratulate
their two beloved kinspeople on
their anniversary.
After a time spent in con-
versation for the sake of "Auld
Lang Syne" and heartiest en-
joyment for the present, they
were served delicious refresh
ments.
They had brought little gifts
and remembrances as tokens of
their love. This gathering in

ORANGE WOOD HARVEST
Use for Trees Sacrificed to
Building Sites

The sale of orange wood is a
new and profitable industry,
which is being developed by
the owners of Michillinda tract
in the San Gabriel Valley. The
wood is being cleared from
building sites in the subdivisions
and it is being sold for 500 a
cord. 1t is said to be used in
the manufacture of manicure
implements.
The orange wood harvest is
something new in real estate
tracts. Usually wherever an
orange tree grows it is some
thing to be cherished and pro-
tected, but at Michillinda there
are whole groves and some of
them must be sacrificed to al
low space for building.
Through a remarkable orchard
system established by the for
mer owners of the Michillinda
site many Of the choicest build
ing lots now afford a selection
of orange, leman and tangerines.
Thus the builder may establish
his home in a grove of semi
tropical trees, where he may Sc
lect his breakfast grapefruit;
or orange as it hangs on the
trees outside his dining room
window.
Already the orange wood
which has been sold from this
suburb has netted more than
$4,000, and this from trees cut

LADY TATT0k SYKES HAD
EXTRAORDINARY CAREER.
Eug'ishwoman's Life Was Marked by
Mary Sensational Episodes.

Lady Tatton sykes, who died in Lon
dor recently Mt the age of ffty-eight
years, once was the most prominent
woman in England. She possessed
amazing energy and versatility.
Her marriage at eighteen to Sir Tat
ton sykes, great Yorkshire magnate
and millionaire twenty-five years her
senior, caused a profound sensation.
She turned her hand to everything.
At one time she entertained elite So
clety; at another she nursed the wound
ed soldiers in South Africa, wrote
books and edited newspapers, and at
yet another time her gambling losses
caused n tremendous sensation.
In 1898 she and her husband were
sued by money lender for $4,000 on
bills purporting to be signed by both.
The money had been borrowed by her
to pay gambling debts, and Sir Tatton
proved that his signature was forged.
Several other similar cases revealed
that the total amount involved was
more than 100000 She was indicted
for forgery, but rs husband is de-
barred from giving evidence against
his wife in felony case she was dis
charged.
Afterward she wrote notices of plays
for society newspapers, getting into
bitter controversy with the late Mrs.
Pearl Cralgie, who was sorely hurt
because Lady Tatton declared that her
plays showed she was unacquainted
with the usages of high society.
She was the daughter of the Right
Hon. George Augustus Cavendish-B Ben
timex, noted parliamentary character.
Her son, Colonel Mark Sykes, is one Of
the ablest of the younger members of
the Tory party.
Sir Tatton survives her.

with emphasis by the managers. Just
as all previous reports to that effect

CHlCAGC'S WOMAN JUDGE.
Miss BsrteIne Will Preside Over Trials
Of DeIinquent Girls.

Her honor Judge Mary NJ. Bartelme
has just taken her place on the bench
of the Chicago juvenile court, the first
woman judge Chicago has ever had.
Miss Bartelme accepted the position
of assistant judge of the juvenile
court, which was offered her by the
circuit court judges. But the fact that
she is to be an assistant judge does
not mean that she is not to have n
court of her own She is to sit in n
separate part devoted to the trial of
girls and young women charged with
minor offenses and delinquency.
Miss Bartelme, who is a former
schoolteacher, lawyer and a public
guardian in Cook county, owes her ele.
walton to the bench to a suggestion
made by President Harry Pratt Jud-
son of the University of Chicago and
Jane Adams of Hull House.
1t is the highest judicial place any
woman has ever attained in Illinois,
the next highest position ever held by
a woman in the state being that of q
