Paris, Nov. rs.
THE French divorce court has
rendered a solemn judgment
a that Mrs. Hart Mckee, the
American beauty and heiress, is an
unfit person to nave the custody of
her own child.
This Judgment has fallen as a
severe punishment upon this bril-
liant young woman. whose escapades
have shocked her friends, humil.
lated her family and disgraced her.
telf She now refuses to go out, to
show herself on the boulevards or
In the Bots. to attend any of the
Digh-rOlling Bohemian gatherings at
which she mas been the chief orna.

The judgment was given in suit

tail was spared. There were amaz-
ing accounts of the young American
Woman's dOings with Turks, Hun,
garians and Roumanians that must
bring 2 blush to the cheek of every
patriotic American.
The court ordered that young
Mrs McKee's little boy, A. Hartu-
pee Mckee, Jr., should be placed
in charge of the eminent Professor
Chauvet, Of No. z Rue Francisuue
Sarcey, Paris, to live in his family
and be instructed by him. The pro.
lessor is a recognized authority on
the education and training of chill
dren. The judgment provides that
Tor only six months of each year
the mother is to be permitted, on
the first and third Thursdays Of
each month, to take the boy out
rom 10 O'CLOCK in the morning
until in the evening.
During the vacation season she
is to be allowed to L.ve the boy
with her for one month, and the
father is to have him for one month

In asking for this Judgment Mrs.
Sellers Mckee called particular at.

law suit brought by young Mrs.
Mckee against Najib Pasha, a
notorious Turk. According to the
records, the Turk was most friend

at that time amounting to 100000,

Furnished Flats for Chickens;

Experiments have proved it pos
slble to keep as much poultry in as
good a state Of health in a subur-
pan back garden as on an acre or
more in the ordinary method. Mr.
Mech, who is principally RESPONSE
bic for the discovery and invention,
has 5000 hens to the acre at Poole,
near London. The method is
spreading very rapidly, and it is
particularly remarkable that one OF
the most famous of English fan

manner.
The general idea is simple

large enough for 100 hens. On the

Probably a great part of the sue

URGE ANNUIT|ES FOR
OLD AGED PRINTERS
Government Printer Wants Uncle
+ Sam to Provide for Aged
Employees.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-strong
recommendations that the civil service
employees of the government be re-
tired on annuities when they reach
the age of retirement or become dis
abled, are contained in the annual
report of Public Printer Samuel B.
Donnelly.
Mr.. Donnelly says that there are
now more than ESQ men in the gov
ernment' printing office who are more
than 65 years old, and urges that it
would be of advantage to the gov
eminent to provide for the retirement
of those who have given to the public
service the best years of their lives
and who may be unable to perform
an average days work.
He further asserts that the basis
of such annuities should be length of
service, and the salary or wage re-
ceived during their employment,
which in the case of those who have
been in the service for many years
would meet their ordinary require
ments during the remainder Of their
lives. and that such a plan would re-
suit in saving "a large portion of the
amount that is conceded generally is
now lost through approximation of
employees. and would at the same time

LAFOLLETTE'S OHIO
TOUR WORRIES TAFT

for him. He reached Ohio in the
midst of a snow storm which later
developed the proportions of biz
zard.
These unfavora BILE weather condi-
tons were ignored by the thousands
upon thousands of voters who wished
to hear the progressive ideas of the
senator from Wisconsin.
In every city where the senator
spoke the seating accommodations
were entirely inadequate to take care
Of the voters who desired to hear him.
This was a remarkable tribute to the
man who had gone into the presi-
dents home state for the purpose Of
discussing the very questions which
have subjected the Taft administration
to such severe criticism.
That these receptions We're of a
remarka BILE nature was evidenced by
the fact that before Senator La Fol-
lette had left the borders of Ohio an
nouncement was made at the White
House that the president would go to
Ohio in January and make several
speeches.
That the situation there is a grave
one insofar as it relates to the for
tunes of the present occupant of the
White House is indicated by the fact
that the president, in order to ar
range his Ohio meetings, was COM
PEELED to postpone the annual dinner
at the White House for the members
of the United States Supreme court.
The progressive managers in charge
of Senator La Follette's campaign
have no fear that President Taft will
be able to check the tide which has
turned against him in his own state.
These managers long ago knew that
Ohio was anti-Taft. AS result of a
most thorough canvass of the situa-
ton in that state it has developed
that the president will be denied a
solid delegation from his state.
Senator La Toilette discussed All
OF the great problems of the day in
his Ohio speeches. His views may be
summarized in the following terse
paragraphs from his speeches.:
Tariff.
The passage of the Payne-Aldrich
of private interests upon the people
recorded in tariff history"
Trusts.
The people. through congress,
must have their own commission to
regulate the trusts. 1t would differ
from the Interstate Commerce COM

prices directly, but would be required

definition of 'unreasonab restraint

appeal to the sense of Justice, Of the
American people. The fact is the

other which has been kept to the

The sensible and practical thing
to do is to create a board of public

should acquire all teh railroads in
