Sheriff Gets Requisition for Trow-
bridge, Charged With Horsestealing.

Bruce Trowbridge, who is under ar
rest in Fort Scott. will be tatken to jack
son county, Indiana, to answer chars e
of stealing various and sundry classes OF
live stock and poultry. jerry McOskef,
sheriff of Jackson county, visited the gov
ernor's office today with requisition for
Trowbridge and will leave tonight with
his prisoner.
Trowbridge showed a natural weakness
for taking live stock. While he was hV-
ing in Jackson county, an Indiana farmer
lost a horse Then another farmer lost
some of his choice swine. 1t wasn't but
a Few days until another ruralist told the
sheriff that fine, long cared, Missouri
bred mule was missing. Then the tele-
phone bells began to jingle and McOsker
learned that a half dozen hen coops in
the Trowbridge precinct had been visited
BY the time that Sheriff McOsker had
collected an inventory and classification
of the missing stock and poultry, Trow-
bridge had left the neighborhood. 1t was
several weeks before the Indiana sheriff
could locate his man. Then he was ad-
vised that Trowbridge had been arrested
in Kansas by the Bourbon county sheriff.
Now Trowbridge will answer a grand
larceny charge.

MEASURED BY BEAUTY
Amount of AIimony Gagged by Wom-
ans Personal Appearance

Chicago, July 26.-Mrs. Florence
kirkpatrick, formerly of Kansas City.
was the central figure in a unique ar
gument advanced by Colonel James
Hamilton Lewis in Judge William L.
Devers's branch of the superior court.
Mrs. kirkpatrick was seeking a court
order for a1imony of $500 a month
from her husband, Walter z. Kirk
patrick. To this end Colonel Lewis
advanced Mrs. Kirkpatrick's beauty as
reason for large alimony.
When kirkpatrick married" said
Colonel Lewis, "he knew that his wife
was reputed a beauty and had to be
maintained accordingly consistent with
his income and social standing.
Kirkpatrick ought to be compelled
to continue to support his wife in the
style to which she was accustomed,
which included Jewels, silks. an auto
mobile and a beautiful home. Beauty
unadorned soon becomes tiresome and
uninteresting."
Judge Devers said he realized to
certain extent 1uxuries became neces-
stiles in the case of Mrs. Kirkpatrick
but he denied her right to name the
amount her husband should be com
PEELED to pay. He entered an order
allowing Mrs. Kirkpatrick use of her
residence, temporary alimony of $3.50
in cash and also the $50 a month re-
ceived as rent from the kirkpatrick
home in Kansas City.

HE TRIED TO SAVE j. j.
Lecompte Davis Cross Examined in
the barrow Case.

Los Angeles, July 26.-Lecompte
Davis, formerly an attorney for the
Mcnamara brothers, resumed the
stand in the bribery trial of Clarence
S. barrow today and on cross eXamlna-
ton testified that the final agreement
by which James B. Mcnamara was to
he sentenced to life Imprisonment
while John J. Mcnamara was to pc
given a fifteen year term in the penl-
tertiary was not definitely settled until
II O'Clock of the day they entered their
pleas of guilty.
The witness explained, however. that
nreyious to Monday, November q, the
dav before Bert H. Franklin, former
Mcnamara detective was arrested fol
Jury bribing, provisional agreement
by which J. ]. was to be sentenced &c
a ten year term had been made.
Davis said he knew of ]. Us willing
ness to accept such sentence but
had not told Frederieks of it as he still
hoped to prevent the former secretary
treasurer of the International Associ-
alton of Bridge and Structural Iron
workers from having to take any pun
iShment.
Davis stated that while he had later
been told plans for a compromise in the
Mcnamara case in effort to effect
more peaceful relations between capi-
tai and labor had been projected by
Lincoln Steffens, the writer as early
as November 90 1911, it was not until
two days later that he learned of it.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Rv Mrs. Elizabeth ThOmpsOn9

By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.)
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you think It
right for a young man to marry a di-
vorced woman, when she isn't virtuous
woman? She left her children with her
husband. When a woman leaves her CHI
dren I don't think any man could trust
her for wife, do you?
Can they marry in another state and
come to Illinois and be legally married if
'ie woman = NO ANXIOUS MOTHER.
1t is not wrong to marry a divorced
cause for divorce. 1 should not think that
any man would wish to marry a woman
who is deliberately bad, and make her the
guardian of his honor and mother of his
children. When n woman is sinned
against, and has shown that she wishes
20 be good, it is a different story.
1 do not see how a good woman can
bear to leave her children to the care Of
anybody else. Most mothers will make
any sacrifice to keep their children.
If divorced person is forbidden to
marry within a year after the divorce is
granted she may marry legally in an
turning to the state where the divorce
was granted. Unfortunately the divorce
laws are not uniform in our states
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young girl
of eighteen years and am telephone
operator. 1 have a gentleman friend wte
thinks quite a great deal of me- work
at the office mostly in the day. Occasion
ally I am on night duty My friend tells
L
duty and he will come down. Now is it
proper for me to let him?
PERPLEXED.
Your employer probably would not like
it If you had a visitor while you are on
duty Your friend probably wishes to be
kind to you and protect you while yoll
are on night duty, and if he wishes to cali
for you and take you home safely there
can be no objection to that take it for
granted that he is of excellent character
and that your parents feel that he will De
a safe escort for you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I go with two
Young gentlemen and love both. But each
objects to my going with the other. Please
help me out of this perplexing situation.
one of my friends wishes to take me to
a carnival What would be the proper
time to -eturn? Would it be proper for
me to ask the consent of the other one
/ am young girl Is years old
PUZZLED
suppose you mean that you love boIil
NJ the young gentlemen in a friendly wa
only That is all right, my dear. You
certainly cannot love both of them any
other way.
A nice girl viii be home early. unless

her mother or father or some elderly reId-
tive is with her. Consult with your par
entS about this.
You do not need to ask the consent OF
your friend to go to the carnival with al
other man. You are not engaged to either
one, so that neither has the right to OBJ
ject to your going out with the other.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Could you give
me a recipe for good gooseberry custard
pie? DOROTHY
1 have never heard of a gooseberry Gus
tard pie. A good pie is made of one crust:
put into 1t gooseberries with plenty Of
sugar, and bake. When done, make d
meringue of whites of eggs and confec-
tionery sugar; spread this thickly over
the gooseberries and put in the oven to
brown slightly. This makes a delicious
dessert

Want to go fishin'?
A city park lake, 100 feet long ana

A fish story?
Yes-but a true one. Listen;
Commissioner Stotts has decided to
fill up the lake in Willow park. He
has declared it dangerous on account
this lake has been stocked with big
black bass. They have grown to an
enormous size-nothing to do in the
lake but look pretty, grow fat and
raise families.
After this article is published,
Commissioner Stotts opens up all fish,

Think of it, We nimrods! Black
bass weighing several pounds each,
swimming around in a city lake walt

No, sir Sit right down on a city
kept lawn and fish for the kind OF
bass you have dreamed about.
The lake in Willow park will be
filled in and a wading pool made for
the children. The lake as it is. says
Stotts, is dangerous to the children
of the neighborhood. 1t is deep,
treacherous and a receptacle for over
flowing sewers.

small bass can be caught with a sein
