fetal history that she was widow.
We are familiar with applications to
a court of justice for leave to pre-
sumo the death of persons. who have
vanished But the French judge was
not to be so easily persuaded as our
courts. The wife was in her official
history a wife and there was no certif-
cate to justify her appellation being
changed to widow. Without a certif-
cate or reasonable documentary evil
dence no man obviously ought to die.
There was a way round. The be-
reaved woman applied for a divorce on
the ground OF desertion. Since death
is beyond dispute the most complete
kind of desertion, the court of Mon
treuil decided that she could not be
denied. So the widow is recognized as
an independent woman ana a5ibarently
both the law and she are satisfied. But
you will observe that the official his
tory must now record the wife of a
dead man as a Divorce, which does
not seem very creditable to official
history

In France, as in some other coun-

quaint consequences. If woman is

may be missing.

Live Your Life.

We sometimes wonder of what use
we are, and why we are put on earth.
One day Is added to another and We
seem to be no further advanced on the

would have put 1t, we do not appear
to be gaining on the scenery. Yet
there is room In the world, and need
in the world, for each and every one
OF us. and, therefore, We must keep on
going to the end. Emerson has
poem in which the squirrel talks to
the mountain and says: IF cannot
carry forests on my back neither can
you crack nut" You can do some
thing nobody else can do, namely.
live your life. You have the chance,
If you win only take 1t. and havn

can at least be some ones friend. and
there is nothing that the world more
