ry A. Trenholm, Chicago broker, who
is suing for divorce on the ground that
his wife deserted him, declares he was
not properly affectionate. He told the

put his arm around her
He charged that his wife 1irted with
another man.

from a talk we had regarding him,
said Trenholm. "At the mention oil

Mrs. VIII was secretly married TO
L. s. Grant, son of the former presi-
dent, on July II, the affair being an

Saturday night. Because only one of
Mr.. Grants five children attended the
dinner, reports were spread of an es-

children over q prenuptial agreement
with the bride, whereby she was to
have half of the Grant fortune and her
14-year-old son was to be educated at
West Point.
Grant and his bride visited Mrs.
Deer.ng while en- route to San Fran

ing said she did not believe there was

rangement made before the marriage
was one looking to the education of M

She WOOed
Him
By F. A. Mitchell

E1Y1N the Ukraine, Russia, the
E4l ii woman does all the counting.
SSSS When she falls in love with a
k7sssSy man she goes TO his house
and informs him OF the state of her
feelings. If he reciprocates, all is well,
and the formal marriage is duly ar
ranged. If, however, he is unwilling
she remains there. hoping to coax him
TO a better mind. The poor fellow can
not treat her with the least discourtesy,
nor has he the consolation of being
able to turn her out, as her friends in
such case would feel bound to avenge
the insult. His remedy. therefore, if
determined not to marry her. is to
leave his home and stay away as long
as she is in 1t.
One day Peter Komienzoff. bache-
Tor, living in the Ukraine with his moth
er. while doing some work about his
little place. heard a light step. looked
up. and there before him stood Anna
Avienieff, biushing and with her eyes
cast down to the ground
~"What brings you to our cottage,

Il have come, Peter, to make you a

sented to Mayor Mueller TO be taken
up at the next council meeting. I'M

/ impossible TO open up a crossing
where the present bridge stands but
the Rock Island officials said that #
possible a crossing at grade would be
built some distance from the present

merchants of Northwest Davenport
are protesting because the closing oil
the bridge has shut off their country
trade from large territory, and farm

make detour of several miles.

PLANS
SEATS FOR $4,000
Sox Magnate Intends to
Have Additions Finished
for 1914 Season.

President c. A Comiskey of the
White Sox plans to increase the seat
ing capacity of the south side park
from 10000 to $4,000 for the season of
1914. The changes contemplated will
involve an expenditure of more than
$4,000. One bid already received is
$11S.00 for part of the work.
When these changes have been made
White Sox park will have the largest
capacity of any baseball plant in the
country Polo Grounds, the home of
the New York iGants, could equal or
possibly exceed these figures by the
erection of new bleachers to conform
to the rest of the work.
Comiskey does not think that he will
need such an immense seating area ev-
cry day, but says he wants fans to feel
sure they will be able to get seat on
big days and Sundays. There is 8
growing demand for grandstand and
pavilion space. and Comiskey figures
that the increased attendance result
ing from the knowledge on the part oil
the fans that seats were assured
would pay for the additions in a few
years.

CUBS LEAD LEAGUE
THROUGH DEFEAT
OF PIRATES, 8 TO 5
Heavy Bombardment in the
Eighth Breaks Up a See
saw Battle.

The Cubs clouted their way into
first place in the National league PEN
nant race yesterday at the west side
park After a see-saw combat with
the Pirates the Chicagoans brought
forth a pretentious rally in the eighth
inning that won the struggle for them
by score of to s.
The New York Giants were idle be-
cause of bad weather; consequently the
Evers siuggers passed them and took
possession of the top place In the per-
centage column.
1t was a corking game of ball to
look at. So many runs came over the
home plate that few White Sox fans
there became dizzy from the unusual
sight First the Cubs were IN front by
one run, scoring once in the opening
round In the third the Pirates took
the lead. counting twice. In the sixth
the Cubs regained the lead, scoring
twice. and in the first of the eighth the
Pirates broke to the front, batting in
three tailies, only to have the Cubs
come right back at them in their half
and whale home five men.
