The law does not permit a man to
leave his wife just because she nags
him." Justice Marean decides. He
meant, of course, the law of this state,
says the New York Mail. In Ken.
lucky, Missouri and other states, "un.
governable temper and 'indignities"
are a cause not only for separation.
but for absolute divorce, and nagging
may certainly be carried to the point
of indignity; while in Oregon one may
obtain a divorce if the partner of
ones joys, and especially of ones
SORROWS, makes life burdensome. /"
And what can be more burdensome
than nagging? However, there ought
not to be divorce, nor even separation,
for nagging, because no court of JUS
tice can ever be sure that the nagging
is not justified, or at least provoked.
Some women, for instance, are born
naggers. Some achieve nagging. And
a considerable number of others have
nagging thrust upon them by course
of conduct which may be outwardly
courteous, but which in it's essence is
unexpectedly irritating.

Young men who have completed the

Agriculture are in demand at good sal

college, says the Chicago Record-Her-
aid When the university closed in

yates could not be supplied and all
the members of the years class had
found places at salaries ranging from
$500 to $4,000 a year. Places that
would have paid $450,00O in salaries
could not be filed because of the lack
of qualified men. This showing is an
indication of the change that is com.
ing generally in agricultural methods.
Rule-of-thumb, haphaZard methods will
not do on the farm any more than in
the well-managed factory. There
must be truly scientific farming. the
combination of sound principles with
the results of experience. Evidently
the owners of farms see the change at
hand and are eager to avail them
selves of the knowledge possessed by
the Wisconsin graduates.

That the whole theory of penal
codes is practically unsound and OPP
posed to the modern conceptions of
the relation of the state to crime, is
the contention of Eugene Smith of the
New York bar, writing in the May
number of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. Illustrating the
absurdity and disparity between PEN
atty for crimes in different states,
Mr.. Smith says: "The average SEN
tence for perjury in Florida is ten
years, in Maine one year; for larceny,
in Delaware ten years, in the District
Of Columbia ten months; the penalty
for arson in Pennsylvania is twice
that of burglary, but in Connecticut
the guilt of burglary is twice that of
arson; the guilt of counterfeiting in
Ohio il twice that of perjury. but in
Rhode Island the guilt of perjury is
twice that of counterfeiting.

1900 TROOPS READY
PRESIDENT GOMEZ OF CUBA
WARNED BY U. S. OF PROB
ABLE INTERVENTION.
MUST SUPPRESS REBELLION
General Wood Orders Transports in
Readiness to Take American Army
to lsland-Posts That Will Take
Part in Demonstration.

Washington, June 10.-The govern
ment has ordered 1000 troops to hold
themselves in instant readiness for a
movement on Cuba. This followed a
note to President Gomez, on Friday,
stating that the United States will be
compelled to intervene unless he is
able to Immediately suppress the in
surrection.
General Wood Immediately ordered
four transports to be coaled and pro-
vis1oned for the voyage. The Kill
patrick and the Meade will proceed
Immediately from Newport News to
New York and the Mcclellan and the
Sumner to Savannah for the embark
alton of soldiers.
The expeditionary force ordered to
hold itself in readiness includes the
Fifth infantry stationed at Platts-
burg barracks, N Y: the Twenty
ninth infantry with detachments at
Fort Jay, N. Y; Fort Porter, N. Y,
and Fort Niagara, N. Y; the Seven
teenth infantry, with about a thou
sand men at Fort Mcpherson, Atlanta,
Ca; the Eleventh cavalry complete
at Fort Oglethorpe, Ca; the mountain
battery of the Fourth field artillery
and company of the signal corps at
Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo.
The note to Gomez was provoked
by cablegram from Arthur Beaupre,
American minister in Havana, init
mating dangerous lack of activity
if not of sincerity on the part of the
Cuban president.
Minister Beaupre reports that the
negro insurrectos attacked the Toledo
sugar mill only six miles from Ha-
vana.
Colonel Acca, who was appointed
chief of the secret police in Havana
by President Gomez, was arrested for
treason. 1t is charged that he melted
rebellion in Havana.
Santiago, June 10.-Six thousand
one hundred United States marines
and bluejackets are on Cuban soil
ready for duty or whatever may be
required of them. The battleship
Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Missis-
sippi, representing the fourth division
of the Atlantic fleet in command of
Rear Admiral Osterhaus, arrived at
the Guantanamo naval station Fri
day and the Decentralization began
Immediately.
