The Rosary.

Despite the chief character of a
Catholic priest, ''The Rosary, I"
which will be seen at opera house
February 1, is non-sectarian. This
is the play which broke so many
attendance records last season and
thus far, Judging from the size of
the audiences in other cities, the
public hasn't tired of it. Mingled
with the darker colors of human
tragedy Is a vein of natural comedy
evolved from the events which oc-
cur during the action of the play,
The role of Father Brian Kelly is
cleverly Interpreted.

URGES AN EXPERT
FOR EVERY FARM

KING CITY, Mo. April 5-The con-
sulting farm expert. an agricultural
authority who will spend all his time
tho year around telling the farmers
what to do and what not to do, at a
stated salary paid by those receiving
the agricultural scientists advice, is
to be a new force in agriculture. ac-

said, since the so-called book farm

an agricultural college expert and

operations in an advisory capacity.

hundred farmers whose farms are To-
Gated in close proximity TO one an-

class scientific agricultural man who
will put in the whole year going from

one of the hundred how to deal most
intelligently and effectively with all

That every one of the hundred

FILES RILL FOR DIVORCE.
Mrs. Lester Bresee Also Asks for
Custody Of Child.

BALTIMORE. Md. April 5-Mrs.
Minnie d. Bresee yesterday in Cir
cult Court No. 2 fled bill for an
absolute divorce from her husband.
Lester Bresee. The application sor
divorce was not unexpected, mas
much as Judge n Charles Burke. in
the Circuit Court at Towson. last
Saturday. signed an order granting
Mrs. Bresee the permission to file her
bill. This permission was required
because the court had in 1908 assum-
ed jurisdiction over Lester Bresee
and his estate and still retains juri5-
diction.
Mrs. Broseo states I'm her bill of
complaint. filed through Attorneys
Lennon and Clotworthy. that she was
married to the defendant January rs,
1902, in Wilmington. Del. They have
one child, which was born in No
vember. 1902. The bill states that
the separation took place in March,
1907. The bill states that, although
the defendant has at present no in
come, he has expectancy property OF
substantial and prospective value.
Mrs. Bresee asks for an absolute di-
vorce the custody of her child and
prays that the court will decree that
Mr. Bresec make suitable provision
for her maintenance and that Of her
daughter.

Wear slippar. In The Hous..

In England it is the custom not only
for grown persons, but also for chill
dren, to wear slippers IN the house.
English children as well as grow1ups
wear shoes as we In America wear
rubbers. only out Of doors. This is not
only a more comfortable custom with
regard to footwear than ours, but It
is also more healthful. The streets
and sidewalks and even the yards are
dusty. This dust, full of germs as II
is. should not be tracked all over the
house. We would do well in the In
terests of preventive medicine 70 pro
vide slippers for our children and to
insist upon the wearing OF them in
the house. II is less trouble TO change
from shoes to slippers. even three or
four times a day. than It is TO cure an
illness the germ of which may have
been brought into the nursery on the
soles of the children's shoes.-Home

The lad had little liking for military

strangled his son with a window cord,
and at length matters were brought TO

1t was only through diplomatic inter
