TUNIS QUICKER THAN RENO
Divorce Is Granted In Less Than an
Hour and Costs S1.2o in Az
rican City.

The next time you happen TO be in
Tunis, don't fail to pay a visit to the
divorce court. 1t is the most Haroun-
al-Raschidic institution this side OF
Samarkand. A great hall of Justice,
vaulted and floored with marble and
strewn with eastern carpets, forms the
setting, while husbands in turbans and
lawyers and green robed, gray bearded
judges complete a scene which might
have been taken straight from the Ara
bian Nights.
The women, closely yelled and hood
ed, are herded like so many cattle
within an iron grill, take no part In
the proceedings which so intimately af-
feet their futures, their interests being
left In the hands of voluble and ges-
ticulative avocat In each of the four
sides Of the great hall is an alcove. and
In each alcove, seated cross legged on
many cushioned divan, Is a green
robed, gold turbaned cadi To him the
husband stated his case, the wife.
through her avocat, putting in her de-
fense-if she has any. The Judge con-
siders the facts In silence, gravely
stroking his long gray beard the while.
and then delivers his decision-in nine
cases out Of ten, so l was told, in favor
Of tho husband
Should either person be dissatisfied
with the finding he or she can take an
appeal by the simple process Of walk
ing cross the hall laying their case be-
fore one Of the other judges, whose
decision is final. A case, even II ap-
pealed, Is generally disposed of we'll
under an hour and at total cost OF
$1.20, which proves conclusively that
the record for quick and easy divorces
Is not held by Reno.-Metropolitan

1T HAPPENED IN PICADILLY
Anecdote Of Lady Constance Stewart
Richardson and the Awkward
Young Man.

Lady Constance Stewart Richard
son, the beautiful young woman who
danced over here some time ago, has
offended Queen Mary" said a Wash
ington diplomats wife. "She actually
told the queen to stand out of the
light at a picture exhibition.
Lady Constance, you know, is caps,
BILE of anything. They are telling an
anecdoSe about her at the Bath club.
Sac was walking In Picadilly the
other day-so the anecdote runs-and
o young man attempted to pass her
on the right, when she also turned
that way. The young man then veered
to the left, and Lady Constance did
the same And there they stood for
a minute or more, overcome by that
ridiculous something which makes two
people, face to face on a wide side
walk, dodge simultap eously this way
and that without being able to pass
each other by
Lady Constance. after nine or ten
of these awkward movements, smiled
demurely and said:
Well, I'm sure, If you want to
dance | don't mind-but what's II to
be, the turkey trot or the grizzly
bear?"-Washingt Star.

Violin Brings Farmer Wealth.

Finding himself suddenly possessed
Of a violin evidently of great value,
Charles Riley, Gettysburg farmer
Of moderate circumstances, Is now
happy over the turn Of affairs which
he believes has freed him for the rest
of his life from financial worries. The
violin was supposed to be worthless
and came to him In the distribution Of
his fathers personal effects.
Riley thought little of the instru-
ment until he was offered $50 for It.
He then suspected that It might be
worth more, and refused the offer.
Gradually the would-be purchaser In
creased his offer until 1t reached
$500, which Riley still refused.
Later in the day an effort was made
by another person to buy the violin,
but Riley is holding on to II until he
can obtain more. The instrument
bears the date "17O3," which is carved
on 1t. His father purchased 1t at a
public sale.

It is interesting to know just why
a spade is called spade. and just
where certain names originated. The
word buttery and buffers pantry
came from two French words, the
''botelerie" was the wine closet and
"pantler" was where the bread and
cakes were kept, and the custodian
of the wine was the "boteler." Later
the words were pervt ted into butler
and pantry, and NJ Nly Joined into
