HIS WIFE TOO LAVISH
WITH LADS OF ARMY

OAKLAND, Cal, July /. - within
three days of their marriage Jennie z.
Berrey made the discovery that Quin-
tus H Berrey, her second husband, was
infinitely more contemplate than her
first husband, and Berrey cited her
statement to that effect as cruelty in
suing for divorce today. They were
married at Honolulu July Z, 1898, and
July TO- when she began inviting
squads of soldiers to her house and en-
Pertaining them lavishly, she ranked
him with her earlier spouse, as he al
legged.
Berrey said that she was very fond
of soldiers and expended considerable
sums of money in hospitality toward
them. besides demanding that Berrey
escort her and them to places of
amusement She wrote long letters to
enlisted men, he charged. and left in
structions at the postoff1ce that her
mail was to be delivered only to her.
self. She gave her photographs to army
men, and when Berrey was called back
to Virginia she told him she would
not accompany him If he gave her the
whole State 4HsEIR
Berrey purchased hotel at Sierra
Vile, but alleged that his wife drove
guests away by receiving attentions
openly from one of the men staying
there. He alleged that his wife de-
serted him, leaving word that she had
gone to Alaska, but later he heard
that she was without funds; and she
also embarrassed him, he said, by cir
culating the report that his own cash
reserve was gone.

Strange Action Of a Baseball

Following is al interesting story told
by Hugh S. Fullerton in the American
Magazine. in an article describing freak
plays that have won big baseball
games:
"On the old Washington grounds,
when Washington was in the National
league. the players left the field by
passing under the stands. and the en-
trance to the passage was closed by q
cellar door arrangement which slope
down to the ground. The doors. of

but at the top. cut In The planks of the

NIT the players to reach through and
unlatch the doors when they desired to
leave the field. During one game i saw

the plate in an effort to cut off the
tying run, roll up the doors and disap-
pear through that hole. The batter cir
cled the bases n scored the winning
run The Chicago club. under Arson,
was beaten and protested the game on
the ground that the opening existed in
violation of the rules. In the investi-
cation of the complaint an attempt was
made to force a ball through the hole.
and although it was pounded with q
bat the ball refused to pass through,

After that almost every team that came
on the ground tried to put balls
through the hole. and failed. How that
thrown ball managed to twist It's way

explained satisfactorily"

How to Attract Nice Birds.

appears the following:
Some birds are on quite intimate

are more so. perhaps, than the wee
nut -brOWn wrens. No birds are more
interesting or may be more easily
watched. for these tiny creatures need
only the encouragement of the right

some years n pair of these birds (thc
same wrens apparently returning each

which some OF the family are seldom
absent. the birds have carried on their
housekeeping and fed their wee ba-
hies entirely unmlndful of us.
Tho secret OF success in Turing
wrens is that the hole In the box pro-
vided is small enough. The outline of
Il 2o-cent piece is just the right size.
Boxes should be placed i'm early May.
Eut. as wrens raise two broods, these
birds will often take possession of q:
