IN A CLASS BY HERSELF
Odd Position of French Woman Who
Is Neither Spinster, Wife, Nor a
Divorced Person.

According to French law, husband
and wife who have been once divorced,
and who, after due reflection, have
found out that they can do no better
for themselves, and have married each
other second time, cannot be divorc-
ed again. Sixteen years ago gentle
man who could not put up with the
freaks Of his wife sought and obtained
divorce, but after years reflection
he forgave her, and they went again
before the mayor. 1t was not long,
however, before madame broke loose
again, and tried the patience OF her
husband beyond endurance. He ap-
piled to the court for remedy, but
was told that all 1t could do for him
was to pronounce a separation, al
though he would be always obliged
to pay her alimony. He agreed, and
years went on, and the lady also went
on disgracing the name she still bore.
The man again repaired to the tribu-
nal and said: my wife, who is sepa-
rated from me, but who is still my wife
and whose husband l still am, con-
tinues dishonoring me. What am j
to do?" to which the magistrates re-
piled: "You must go on paying her her
allowance. because, she evidently has
need of 1t, but we will forbid her to
use your name" The woman now is
in a position that has never been pro.
vided for by legislation. She is not
divorced, and never can be, and mel.
ther she nor her husband can ever
marry again. Yet she is more than
separated, because she cannot use her
husbands name. She comes under
no category, being neither spinster,
wife, nor divorced, and she stands for
a class that may be termed the semi
divorced"

BoIEs DEFENDS TAFT.

Horace Boies, of Iowa, the only
Democratic governor elected in that
state in this generation has written a
strong letter in defense of President
Taft, which has been made public in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. 1t is regarded as
the most remarka BILE letter thus far
published in the present political cam
paign and will be worth thousands of
votes TO the Republican party in Iowa.
Governor Boies, referring to the re-
mark of Governor johnson, of Californ
ia, that President Taft is the most hu-
initiating character in American history,
makes this statement:
1T would burn my fingers to cast q
ballot for any man who could thus
characterize President of the United
States"
Governor Boies asserts that instead
of being the most humiliating character
in American history, President Taft
will be remembered as a martyr be-
trayed by Roosevelt and johnson and
most cruelty abused man in all public
life.
Governor Boies' letter then takes up
the issue before the American people
and says:
WAS there ever time in the his
tory of our country when its business
affairs were on a sounder basis or the
greater masses of our people more pros
porous or contented?"
Governor Boies also asks what there
is in the business affairs of this nation
that should make anyone wish to
change.
The letter of Governor Boies has at
tracted widespread attention in Iowa
and is another indication of the almost
universal change of sentiment toward
President Taft. -Keokuk Gate City.

"She's just as provoked as she can

Compton. "She thinks that 1t was on

make an exception of Lena Williams

didn't ask her; 1t was because we de-
cided all in hurry, and there was
just time to catch the train. She's
made up her mind she won't propose

Black Fox FARMING.

There is in Prince Edward island a
new development which is attracting
great attention in the shape of rails
ing of fur bearing animals. 1t has
been proved that the climate of the
province is particularly suitable for
the breeding Of black foxes, and a
number of farmers have embarked in
the industry with the most profitable
results. The fur Of the black fox,
owing to its rarity, has become ex.
ceedingly valuable, and the commits
sioner of agriculture for Prince Ed
ward island states that pair of live
foxes were sold recently for $4,000
and another pair for over $4,000.
The price of this springs pups was
over $4,000 pair and 91,600 pair,
while cash deposit varying from 10
to % per cent is being paid for fox
cubs that are due to be born in the
spring of 1913. Black fox farming, as
1t is called, does not entail any con.
siderable expense, the ranches con-
sisting usually of an acre of ground
with a steel wire enclosure about fifty
feet square for two pairs, containing
little houses for the animals.

THE TIME-TRIED TEST.

Everyone breaches 1.-THE square deal, ="
and processes to want to do 1.-The right
thing" in all the relations of life. The
trouble is there too often springs up a
difference of opinion as to what consti-
tutes square deal and as to whether a
particular proposal or act falls within
that category. The square-deal idea
however, is nothing but revised YER
sion of the Golden Rule, which is more
to the point in providing safety valve.
Put yourself figuratively in the other
fellows place and if what you are about
to do to him would be relished Ny you
with the tables turned. This the time
tried test 1t is a test that has never
been improved upon, and that works
with the same precision now as always,

Z THE Republican has no word of criti-
cism to offer against any democratic
candidate for local office. 1t has never
sought to disparage opposition candi-
dates merely because they belong to a
different political party. Throughout
the campaign that is just coming to a
close, the Republican has not said an
unkind word of any candidate. We
have simply made an appeal to the
voters of Audubon county for fair
consideration of the candidates on the
Republican ticket upon their merits as
men and officials. This county is safely
republicans and if the members of the
party will vote their ticket there can
be no question as to the result on the
9Th day of November. Time for mud
singing is past, and people nowadays
resent the old cruel tactics. The
Republican has conducted clean cam
paign and proposes to continue along
that course.

NAMES or VARIOUS CLOTHS
Chiefly Derived From Their Place CT
Manufacture, Though Not In
... All Cases. +

Muslin Is named from Mosul, a city
on the banks of the Tigris; Cambria
from Cambria, a town Of France,
Gauze is probably derived from GAIA
in Syria, although some authorities
hold to the Hindu "gazi," meaning thin
cloth.
Baize, which is commonly thought
Of as being of green hue, was named
from it's original color, reddish
brown. The word is really the plural
Of bay" and the color is that of the
horse which is known as bay" A
form of the word is common in many
tongues.
Damask, quite obviously, is derived
from Damascus.
Silk and serge are both derived
from the Latin Sores, meaning the
Chinese. These fabrics were first inn
ported from that portion of Asia which
is now southern China. II
Velvet is from the italian velluto,
meaning woolly, this from the Latin
vellus, fleece. Vellum is derivative
of the same root--a pelt or hide.
Bandanna is from the Indian word
meaning TO blind or tie," and has ref
ernce to the manner of tying knots in
the fabric to prevent the dye from
reaching every part thereof. In this
way spots are left white and a rude
pattern remains in the cloth.
Alpaca comes from the animal of
the same name in Peru. 1t is Of the
llama species and its wool is used to
manufacture the fabric employed in
the making of summer garments.
Calico got its name from Calicut, a
town in India, once celebrated for its
cotton cloth. @EE a-sf

o. P. Coon, the Republican candidate
for County Auditor should be elected by
an overwhelming majority. He is a
man who is thoroughly capable to
handle the Office. He is Republican,
and, inasmuch as Audubon county is
Republican, he should get the Office.
Weurge the members of the party to
stand solidly behind Mr.. Coon. No
democrat could hold an office in the
county if it were not for Republican
votes. Mr.. Coon needs the Office. Leroy
township ought to give Ollie Coon a
handsome vote, and from present in
dications we believe the people are
going to elect him.

EASY TO TEACH BLACKBIRD
Is Natural lmltator and Responds
Quickly to Tralning-lts Men,
DRY Strong.

The blackbird. which belongs to the
thrush family, has strong initiative
powers, and has even been taught to
speak. There is not much variety in
its natural song, but its voice has a
pure, f1ute-like tone and full volume.
The bird is very susceptible Of being
trained. and when reared by hand
from the nest is capable Of forming
strong attachments and makes itself
great favorite.
When a blackbird Is six or eight
weeks old, his training should be be-
gun. Take him to a quiet room away
from any other birds, and each night
and morning whistle the portion Of
the tune you wish him to learn, or
play it on the flute. Feed him before
you begin, and put fat, lively worm
where he can see It. After you have
whistled or played the air, say TWEEN
ty times. stop, so that the bird may
have an opportunity of initiating 1t.
If he should make the attempt, give
him the worm at once, praising and
caressing him meanwhile. He will
soon begin to see why a reward was
given to him, and will not be slow in
trying to earn it. When once he has
learned the tune he will never forget
it, and it will pass into and become a
part Of his song.
After the blackbird has completed
his education, he should be placed
near some other singing bird, whose
notes he would soon learn and blend
with his own.
Put his cage out of doors whenever
the weather permits, and he will tell
you how pleased you have made him.
But during the hot days Of summer,
let him be well shaded and kept cool,
as heat and dry air seem to affect his
voice. He will begin to sing in the
end of February or the beginning OF
March, and will continue until the fall,
If the summer is not too hot.

IIaht for ENGLISH Police.

The "bull's-eye" lantern of the pa
trolling policeman may shortly pass
into the museums. Electric torches
are far handler than the old-fashion-
ed oil-fed "bulls-eye." The police
man has the torch attached to his
belt, and the pressing of button
sends searchlight on the track of
a criminal. There are no risks OF
burnt fingers and damaged tunics. Elk
periments are being made with the
electric torches In the outlying sub
urbs. and later every metropolitan and
city policeman may be provided with
one. Burglars have long known their
value, and will not welcome this imi.

W0oDPEcKERs OF LARGE SIZE
Species That Abound In Mexico and
Central America Attain Large
Proportions.

To those readers who may only be
familiar with the average sized wood
peckers found in this country, 1t will
be interesting to know that there are
species of this famous group of birds
in existence, which, even when com.
pared with such stable species as the
well-known flicker" appear in pro-
portion like great ravens, placed by
their lesser congeners, the garrulous
magpies.
Our common pileated woodpecker,
which ranges over North America at
large, may attain length Of nearly
20 inches, while the handsome black
woodpecker of northern Europe, the
pic noir of the French, averages but
three or four inches smaller.
Both of these, however, undersize
the true giants of this interesting
race of birds, for our ponderous ivy.
billed woodpecker, now found only in
the wilder timbered districts of the
gulf states, has length of q inches
and wing extent of nearly yard.
The magnificent imperial woodpecker
OF Mexico and Central America Is
even larger by an inch or more than
the last-named species, and is truly
a most remarkable bird.
There is one very peculiar thing
about these big woodpeckers, and
that Is in their general celebration
they are ell of a glossy black, with
white markings, and the males have
brilliant scarlet crests or other color
areas Of the same on their heads.
The imperial and the ivory-billed
have powerful white, chisel-cutting
bills, capable of making great havoc
with the partly decayed trunks of
forest trees, where they search for the
Understanding insects which consti.
tute their chief food.

"In a moonshine village, one Satur-
