 Judge simmons ruled the witnesses testifying regarding this evidence in admissible

There was no question but that Miss
Gladys Farnham got a good husband
when she married Stephen Agnew. He
was with a life insurance company
and stood high for character. For the
first three months after marriages
there were entertainments at home
| and the theater and other things
abroad, but then change came. Mr..
Agnew became preoccupied. He went
about whispering to himself and he
neither wanted company at home nor
to seek advertisement outside. Every
night upon his arrival home It was the
library for him, and all the explana-
ton he had was that he.was very busy
with Office matters.
II the young wife had been a coax.
ing, persistent woman she could have
learned all about It after bit, but she
didn't coax, and after what she felt
was the one rebuff, she had no more
questions to ask. She took It out in
thinking, and at the end of six months
she had come to the conclusion that
her husband was disappointed man
in marriage. He was still kindly and
even-tempered, but unless something
preyed on his mind, why should he go
about with that absent look on his
face, and why should he shut himself
up at home?
There was a reason, and the wonder
was that il did not leak out sooner.
The life insurance company had pro-
NOTED Mr.. Agnew on his marriage to q
higher position and more salary, but
as an Offset he must delve into statis-
number of old women in Indiana who
would die before the year expired, and
the number of old men in Michigan
who would never see another Christ
mas He must gather into the folds
of his memory all the diseases that
carried the insured to the grave-the
average of longevity since Moses came
out of the bulrushes-the action of the
human heart after meal of pork and
beans-what the difference was be-
tween a man taking three or six nips
per day, and many other things.
He wasn't the man to give up after
he had started in, simply because sta
tistics danced before him day and
night, but he kept on accommodating
and his wife kept on thinking she was
shamefully neglected, until climax
came. A friend limited at divorce, and
that brought the climax.

worked up an expression BETTING
such an occasion and put on her hat
and cloak and went to a drug store

the proprietor that came forward, and
after swallowing the lump in her
throat, she gently asked:
do you keep arsenic?"
Certainly, ma'am. What is it to

casions is "Rats!" and it was given.

Wanted to Save His Soul.

age library. on Socialism since a wom-
an at Harper took the liberty recently
of showing her opinion regarding such
literature.
A young man rooming in her house
had obtained from the university a
number of books dealing with Social
ism. He had left them on his library
table. The woman. in cleaning up his
room, found the volumes which TO her
mind represented all the evils OF an
archy and infidelity and unmention-
able crimes. She decided to save the
young man from danger and lost no
time in putting the vile books into
the fire.
The young man wrote an anxious
letter to the extension department ex-
planning the matter, ana the depart
ment has decided TO excuse him.

plas Mile of Ditch a Day.

The largest excavating machine
ever built is capable of digging mile
of ditch six feet deep and IL feet wide
every day. 1t is employed in the con-
struction of canals and laterals COM
prising an irrigation system to water
the 10000 acres which compose the
Cudahy ranch, situated in the Imperi-
al valley of Mexico. The conditions are
identical with those Of the valley OF
the Nile, for this ranch is of silt lands
built up by the ages of overflow Of
the Rio Grande. The machine weighs
100000 pounds and covers an area of
25x60 feet. 1t is entirely of steel con-
struction and is propelled by two thir-
ty horse power oil engines. The fore
part Of the machine carries the en-
gines which drive a shaft wheel,
which in turn, by series of cogs and
chains, propels the machine over the
ground and at the same time operates
the immense circular digger carried at
the rear. This digger'is equipped with
scoops bearing sharpened blades of
steel. 1t first picks up the dirt and,
revolving upward, drops its burden
on to conveyors which carry 1t to
both sides, depositing it upon the
banks of the excavation. The machine
Is so nicely adjusted that it can dig
ditch from two inches up to eight
feet in depth and from four to IL
feet wide, shaping and finishing the ex-
cavation as it proceeds. With this ma
chine seven men do the work of so
scraper shovels hauled by 100 mules,
with driver for each team.
