Primitive Man.

A novelist sometimes likes to cut
the knot he has tied in his own
plot by having the primitive man
suddenly rise up in the hero and
make him snatch the resisting maid
into a state of blissful, although
groveling, servitude. 1t seems to
us unfair-and dangerous to him
to sick" a primitive man on a
modern woman. 1t is also out of
character to attack a chapter of
modern literary bliss to a print
tive conquest. There is evidence
that the primitive man did snatch
and club his woman to his hearts
content, but it is not written by
any woman novelist of that day
that she lived happy ever after
. ward. No doubt she took it with
docility, for big muscle was then
boss, but there is nothing in hui
man nature to warrant the assump-
ton that woman ever enjoyed
being bull-dozed-at least for any
length of time. Just as the doc
trine that the weaker races were
made for slavery and are happier
in it, has been exploded, so the
notion that woman, because weak
er physically than man, enjoyed
her abject servitude, is vanishing
before enlightened facing of human
nature. If there is anything in
woman's nature that makes her
blissful at being consistently Club
ed into submission, it is not appar-
ent to the observation of most
married men.

NO DANGER IN M0UTHPlECES
Investigation Shows Communication
Of tuberculosis by Use Of TeIe-
phones Is Unlikely.

An investigation made in Eng
land to determine the possibility of
the communication of tuberculosis
through the use of telephones seems
to show that such infection is prac-
tically impossible. The experiments
were ordered by the postmaster gen.
eral, who appointed DR.. H. Spitta of
st. Georges hospital, London, and
bacteriologist to the king, to make
the experiments.
A number Of telephones, which
had been in use in busy London Of
fees for various periods, and had
received no cleansing treatment
other than that normally given such
phones, were first tested. Washings
were prepared from the mouth
pieces and tests were made by the
incubation of guinea-pigs to ascer-
tain whether tubercle bacilli were
present. The mouthpieces were
shown to be free from these bacilli,

TOO MUCH FOR THEM.

A northern man made a visit tc
the plantation of a southern colonel
and was almost devoured the first
night by mosquitoes. The next morn
ing the northern man asked the col
ored butler about the mosquito
plague. "Don't the mosquitoes
bother the colonel?" he asked.
"Not much, sah," the butler re-
piled. "The fust part of the night
the colonel am too drunk to feel
mosquitoes, and the last part of the
night they is too drunk to bother
him."

MOST COSTLY OF JOURNALS
animated Newspaper" Of French
Moving Picture Shows Are Pop
ular With the Patrons.

The animated newspaper" issued
by French firm for display in NOV
ing picture establishments is said to
be the most costly newspaper issued,
from the standpoint of the subscrib-
er, as one of these reels costs many
dollars. These films are very popu-
lar with a certain class of patrons
of the "movies." They are edited
in much the same manner as the
typical newspaper. A corps of oper-
ators is kept in constant touch
with many sources Of news. AS soon
as a promising tip reaches him, the
editor sends one, two or as many
men as he thinks necessary for the
purpose. frequently the three films
are patched together to make one
complete reel. Correspondents are
maintained at different points, and
these are assigned by telegraph to go
to certain points where their serv-
ices may be needed. Mine explo-
sions and railroad accidents are re-
garded as particularly attractive
features, and men are sent at once
to these whenever they are reason
ably accessible. Pictures of the de-
bris and the work of removal are
always objects of interest to patrons
of the "movies."

That was in the days when gar
ishness was the note, the scream
ing note, of all outside display

offense for sheer vulgarity; when
the notion that art had its place in

in vogue procured for his wares
an artistic presentation which long
remained unchallenged.
Nothing, however, is more gen.
orally recognized today than that
no pains or skill is wanted that
can be lavished on the artistic
placing before the public of any
article intended for sale, be its
character what it may; this and a
care to keep within the bounds of

sites of successful publicity, and
no idea could be cruder or more
fundamentally erroneous than that
which is conveyed by the cant
phrase ito lie like an advertise

do not lie, but, obviously, cannot
lie and bring results; their pulling
power is in direct ratio to thier
veracity. What they need is ver-
acity and perspicacity; a decent
reticence has real value; so much
they may say and no more; a little
should be left to the imagination,
and there dare not be either "sug-
gestio falsi" or "suppressio veri."

ERNEST n. JAYC0X
GRANTED DIVORCE f
Testifies That Edna JaycOx
Deserted. Him In 1903 and
Went to New York
Father Is Allowed Custody OF
Seven Year Old Son By
Court

Ernest N. Jaycox, who conducts a
rubber and sporting goods business at
1912 Main street, was granted a di-
vorce from Edna Alling Jaycox by
Judge Burpee in the Superior court.
this morning. Mrs. Jaycox is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Noyes E.
Alling OF 269 Clinton avenue. Deser-
tion was the ground upon which the
decree was granted. The father was
also given the custody of minor
SON
Jaycox testified that he married
Edna Squires Alling November 27,
1900. He declared his wife deserted
him September 20, 1908, when they
were living at 3S Poplar street. jay
cox stated that his wife left him be-
cause she was infatuated with another
man. ''She told me she was in love
with another man and was going to
leave me-" he testified.
After the desertion Mrs. Jaycox went
to New York, the plaintiff stated. He
went to see her and tried to induce
her to return, and also saw her in
August, 1909, at her fathers home in
Clinton avenue, in an attempt at rec
onciliation. Mrs. Jaycox told her
husband she did not care to return.
A letter written by Mrs. Jaycox to
her husband after the separation was
read to the court by Judge Frank l..
wilder. representing the plaintiff. In
this missive Mrs. Jaycox told how she
loved her young SON and she asked
her husband t. let her have some pic
lures of the boy. She asked her hus-
band to think kindly Of her and told
him mot to lose faith in women be-
cause a few have been found want
ing"
When questioned further by Judge
Rurpec. the plaintiff said his wife was
infatuated with Charles l. Holmes
who lived in Poplar street In 1908.
So far as Jaycox knew there was
nothing improrer with his wif"'s re-
lations with Holmes. A letter writ
ten by Mrs. Jaycox was introduced
but was not read in court. This let
ter, the plaintiff testified, was found
in Holmes pocket by Mrs. Holmes.
Jaycox told the court he had the
custody of his son, Noyes Alling Jay
cox. aged seven years. The court
asked IL the child had been allowed
to visit the home Of Mrs. Jaycox's 9
parents, and the plaintiff said he had
not allowed the child to go there. He
declared the Al.ings talked to the
child in a manner tending to influence
him against his father, so the visits
were stopped.
nue., brother OF the plaintiff, said he
helped his brother move the furnI-
ture after the separation in 1908. He
declared his brother had not lived with
Mrs Jaycox since 1908.
Edward Dunn, Of Seaview avenue.
who is associated in business with
Jaycox, testified to the same facts.
:. Mrs. Jaycox did not contest the
case.

CHARGES that
WOMAN FL|RTED
WITH JURYMEN
BITTER ARRANGEMENT OF FAIR
PLAINTIFF IN UNIVERSITY
OF CHICAGO CASE.
Especial from United Press.)

Chicago. April 4-The most bitter
arraignment ever delivered in the
courts of Chicago was made in Judge
Pomeroy's courtroom, today, by At
torney Francis A. Walker, in defense
of Dean Talbot and the University CT
Chicago, in the 100000 slander suit
against the Dean by Esther Mercy
The lawyers entire argument was an
attack upon the woman who said she
had been called "a woman of the
streets b ythe defendant when dis.
missed from the Midway school,
"The court has decided that 1t is
the jury's duty to consider the facts
in this disgusting case,'' said the at
torney. This woman has attempted
by every means to secure notoriety
at the expense Of the university, at
the expense of this court and she has
gone even to the extent of making
this trial farce by attempting
through her actions in the courtroom
to Influence you members Of the
jury.
This case is simply an effort to
blacken the great name of one of the
worlds grandest universities and to
ruin the life work of a woman who
has consecrated herself to the guild
ance and education Of young men
and women. Can you believe these
charges against this defendant who
has spent upwards of 20 years in the
education of the young?"
1t was expected that the case would
go to the jury late today.
