more divorced than divorcing.
The best receipt for preserving

No matter how many times a
mans heart has been broken, he
always goes into each new fir
tation with all the buoyant en-
thusiasm of first love" and the
perfect confidence that it is going
to be the last"
In deciding between single
blessedness and matrimony, a
woman merely has to choose be-
tween hearing the sings and the
jeers of the world and the snubs
and sneers of one man.
A decree of divorce is a dip

hazards of her choice. And for

to bring her into touch with

police star and said the .chief
wanted to see her.
A hardended woman probably
would have made a scene. This
one didn't. She went with the
policeman quietly to the station,
where the chief talked to her as a
good father would. Her story,
later confirmed, was the old, old
story.
Born in poverty, denied ade-
quate schooling, she had to work
for self support. She toiled all
day at firing tasks for just en-
ough to keep her afloat. With
night came the human craving
for. companionship. But, alas,
there was nowhere to go''-no-
where but on the streets or in the
cafes.

Of the liquor showed that the arsenic
originally came from glucose which
had been made With impure sulphuric
acid. Il was the acid which contained
the arsenic.
In the year following the great
arsenic poisoning came the oyster
scare. There were outbreaks Of t..
phoid fever ct Winchester and Ut
Portsmouth. The fever was traced 70
oysters. and the result was that. for
some time oysters were almost un-
salable. Ono big oyster hrm which
had been paying $3.50 . week in wages
dropped to SIS . week, and It ID reck.
oned that the oyster merchants
throughout the country must have lost

Glue 10 Mystery Of
Elsie SlgeI's Death.

San Francisco, May PA key to
the mystery of the murder of Elsie
Sigel, granddaughter of Gen Frank
Sigel, Civil war hero, in the room
of a Chinaman in New York, June Is.
1909. Is believed to have been found
in the city of Oakland In searching
the rooms of Lee Dor Chinese. who
was arrested recently by the federal
authorities charged with having opium
in his possession the officers found
complete set of press clippings de-
scribing the death of the Sigel girl
and a number of photogra phs of beau
tiful white women.
Prior to that discovery, the prisoner
had been released under $1,000 bonds
His whereabouts now is unknown.
John Smith, special agent of the Unit
ed States treasury. who unearthed the
evidence against Lee Dor said, sun
day.
Lee Dor tried to convince us that ha
had no knowledge of our language. but
II is significant that a Chinese who pre-
tends no knowledge OF English should
so treasure the reports of murder that
took place In New York four years ago.
1t Is also interesting that he should have
gained the acquaintance of white women
as the photographs found in his possess
sion would lead one to believe"
The Chinese suspected of strangling
Elsie Sigel was Leon Ling. His descrip-
ton does not tally with that of Lee Dor.

made no effort SO far as the Investigator
was able to learn, to minimize them.

caused the state to lose thousands of dol
