STRICT AS TO DIVORCE
NORWEGIAN LAWS PROMISE to-
SOLVE A PROBLEM.
Recognize IncompatabiIty of Temper
ament, but Are Not in Haste to
Act Upon It-Children, and
Division OF Property.

A Norwegian woman, Fru Ella
Anker q leader of the feminist move
ment in Norway, announces that the
divorce problem Is solved in her coun-
try. The law is new as yet, having
been framed in 1910, but so far II mas
worked we'll and is of promise.
The Norwegian law is based on the
principle that the only moral basis OF
marriage is a mutual love. When this
ceases and the parties are con '1nced
they can no longer live together hap
PLY, the law steps in and provides for
divorce. The first step Is admission
to separation. No divorce Is granted
under year after separation is asked
for. This is the stated period when
both parties ask for divorce on
grounds that intimate mutual good
will no longer exists and reconcllla-
tion is impossible. If only one party
asks for divorce the period Of separa-
ton Is two years.
The proceedings are largely in the
hands Of the administrative officials,
and do not ordinarily get into court.
When a couple decide they wish to be
divorced they appear before magis-
trate and ask for IAN order" They
then go to the Cancellation Board"
whose business it Is to examine into
the case and If possible bring about a
reconciliation. Finding this impossi-
BILE, they are granted an order of sep
arat;on, for one year or two, as above,
at tie end of which period, If either
demands it, the decree Of divorce Is
grSRted. The administrative officials
investigate the charges, settle the
financial question and arrange as to
the care of children. The cost Is very
slight, from 81 to SIS, no lawyers be-
ing necessary.
After divorce, the common property
is divided equally between husband
and wife. Usually the husband Is
called on to contribute to the support
of his wife. If the divorce Is caused
by her conduct he can be excused
from this duty; If she marries again
he Is also excused. The magistrate
fixes the amount Of the levy and col
lects his contribution. When a Nor
wegian husband dies or is divorced his
wife can claim half of his possessions.
He cannot give away more than one
third Of his property without her con-
sent, whereas she has right to all
she earns after her marriage.
Children are regarded as mutual
obligation and both parents must aid
in their support. No fixed rules are
laid down, the circumstances deciding
the case according to the view of the
magistrate. The parents may decide
upon plan, subject to the magis-
trate's approval. If they cannot agree
the minister of justice settles the
matter.

Tr,Ie Live.

The course Of true love never did
and never can run smooth. If 1t did it
wouldn't be true love. The single GER
tain sine qua non of true love is that
It shall not run smooth. For such Is
the constitution Of human beings.
When people set out, to be friendly
and congenial they can succeed only
by keeping up a gentle hostility. Con-
slider the average evening call. How
tiresome it is until some one starts an
argument or game of cards is pro-
posed. That accounts for the popu-
larity of games. They furnish a sham
and innocuous hostility without which
society with ones fellows is deadly.
Men and women can be happy to-
gether for days at a time If they are
contending at golf, at tennis, at cards
or at other games. = .....
People who can sit around drawing
rooms or verandas and chat agreeably
are degenerate. They have lost. their
spirit and might as we'll be dead.-El-
lis o. Jones, in Lippincott's.

Lived With Bullet In Brain.

Of wounds ,in the brain here Is an
other example which may be consid-
cred wonderful. During the Indian mu-
tiny, loyal native was struck by a
bullet upon the forehead, just above
the left frontal sinus. The bullet
wedged it's way into the bone. The
skin eventually healed over the wound,
and the man resumed his duties as be-
fore. Twelve months later, however,
he suddenly fell down in commissions,
and died within a couple Of minutes
of his seizure. The post-mortem ca
animation revealed truly remarkable
state of things. The unfortunate man
had lived all this time with quite two
thirds of the bullet embedded in his
brain.

The Big Celebration

AS most of the veterans know,
extensive preparations are being
made for the celebrations OF the
5Oth anniversary of the battle OF
Gettysburg, July l., ?, 3 and 4th'
l913-a joint celebration of the
blue and the gray.
In many counties, one OF the
sad features connected with the
affair is the decimated ranks of the
veterans, and the few who remain
to participate. In Highland, plans
are being made by the few surrlv-
ors, and at least the younger veter-
ans expect to attend. Of the small
number in the Monterey commum
tv. a few are too feeble and inhrm
to make the trip, but some will go,
and contemplate making the jour
ney by automoDlle.
The State of Pennsylvania and
the Congress of the United States
have appropriated ample to defray
all expenses once the veterans are
there. Tents, cots, blankets, COM
missary, medical and quarter-mas-
ter stores will be issued free of cost,
and provision for real comfort OF
10000 veterans is being made.
In order that all veterans may
be present at this last historical oc-
casion of the kind, every conces'
sion will be made and every in.
ducement held out.
Anticipating the indulgence as
we'll as the feebleness of some OF
the old soldier boys, the Genera
Assembly, at its last session, pass
ed the following enabling act;
"Be it enacted by the Genera
Assembly of Virginia, that the
Board of Supervisors of the severa
Counties of the State of Virgins
are hereby authorized to approprl'
ate money to defrav the expenses
of such INDECENT Confederate Veter'
ans of the said counties desiring tc
attend the celebration of the fiji,
tieth anniversary of the battle OF
Gettysburg, to be held at Gettys-
burg, Pennsylvania, on the first,
second, third and fourth Of July,
nineteen hundred and thirteen.
May they all get there! 1t will be
a happy and rounding-out of a sol
dier life to be present at this great
gathering of American heroes.

Friendship In Business.

The salesman who was formerly in
tent on getting orders by means Of
the happy days" system Of cigars
and drinks now courts the friendship
of his customer on utilitarian lines.
He tries to make suggestions thatiwill
be of use. He essays an idea or drops
piece of news, intended to do the
customer some good. Not infrequent-
fy an expert salesman will study the
methods of a customer, and even the
methods in use in his establishment,
before approaching him, SO as to be in
a position to talk intellfgently on his
needs, and perhaps spring a new idea
that will attract attention. Then the
customer is liable to be indebted to
him in a friendly way, which is the
better way of securing mans bust
ness and holding It,

Booze While Enjoying Journey In
Machine; Landed Here

A stranger giving the name of Jim
Howard who was under the iniiu-

possession, was taken in charge last
night by the police. Chief Klugherz
took $40 and put it in the safe, so
that he might not be robbed of it
while in the city. Toward was told
that if he would leave the city today,
no charge would be presented against
him. and he was to leave on the
noon train for the twin cities, with
all of his money restored to him.
Howard said that his home is in
Indiana, and that he has been work
ing with threshing crews in Iowa,
and yesterday morning had $135,
when he started north. He got in
with two other men and rode to
Worthington in an automobile, where
he took the train to Mankato In
the course of the automobile ride the
three purchased and drank gallon
of whiskey. and had nothing to eat.
He spent few. dollars for wearing
apparel, but did not know what be-
