WIFE HIS "HoUsE FLOWER"
Husband Would Pump Water on Her
Every Day, Says Young Spouse
In Seeking Divorce. !.

Georgetown, Del.-Declaring that her
husband called her his house flower"
and that he watered her every day by
placing her head under a pump, Mrs.
Florence Magee, age nineteen, has
IN the Sussex county court here been
granted a divorce from her husband,
Levin Magee. The specific ground
was cruelty. The couple we're mar
ried January IA, 1911.
The bride, a delicate young woman,
objected when her husband insisted
that she work in the fields. HE would
come into the house and call me his
house flower. Then he seized me and
saying house flowers needed water,
he placed my head under the pump
and pumped water all over me. Some
times he did this three times a day,
s~aturating me completely. Each time
/ was compelled to change my cloth
ing. On a number OF other occasions
he also doused me with buckets of
water"

BUYER WORSE THAN SELLER
In the Scale of Depravity the Briber
Is Far More to Be Feared Than
His Victim.

The mar who sells for dollars is not
especially dangerous. One knows
what such a person will do and trusts
only to that point OF weakness. 1t is
a safe point because it is where you
can see it, Indeed, the poor devil who
sells at any price is never so much to
be feared as the man who does the
buying. 1t is the latter who enter
tains the motive and who looks for the
gain. He not only knows what he
wants, but he understands how to get
it. He entertains a hundred subtle ap-
proaches to reach the man to whom a
tender of money would be an insult.
So many of us who could never sell
find 1t exceedingly hard not to give

cient Of them could hardly tell the
tale of an hundred years.
With such an one, contrast these
two in the beautiful Swiss city where
the hurrying tramp of the tourist is
never stilled. So similar are they to
these old friends of our youth, yet SO
different. They look old, and they are
old, but still stanch and firm; they
are gray, but not decrepit. Relics of
Lucerne's past, when it was a forth
fed medieval town, they still bear
their part in the days work, now that
it has become the northern gateway
to the worlds greatest summer play
ground.
The older of these bridges is the
Kapelbruecke, and, if we may take
the story Of Lucerne as fact and not
fiction, dates back to the middle of
the fourteenth century. If this is fact,
it may be well not to ask how many
of the original timbers remain in the
present structure. This bridge crosses
the River Reuss-famous in the le-
gends that have to do with Switzer-
lands great hero, William Tell-diag-
onally, instead of taking the shortest
and straightest way across; midway
in it stands the curious octagonal
tower, the Wasserturm, which some
writer's insist dates from Roman
times, when it was used as a light
house; but 1t Is more probable that
this was merely a part of the forti-
tications with which the town was
surrounded during the %troublous times
of the thirteenth century.

TANGO GRIPS NEVADA INDIANS
They Are Raising Money for the Pur-
pose of Building Hall for
s, Its Display.

The extent to which the craze for
the tango and similar dances has per-
meated the lives of the Shoshone Ma
ton of Nevada Indians, who are
abandoning all tribal dances, seems
incredible, out nevertheless all the
younger and n large part of the older
members of the tribe are crazy over
the dance.
Organized plans are now under way
whereby the younger and middle-aged
Indians are raising funds for a large
dance hall for their own use in learn
ing and dancing the tango.
One of the Indian maidens has SO
perfected herself in the tango that she
is giving a complete course of lessons
at $3.50, and many Of her companions
are learning rapidly.
The Indians dance until daylight,

DRUG HOUSE ENJ0INED
BY FEDERAL. COURT

Judge Jeremiah Neterer, of the
United States district court, to-day
granted a permanent Injunction in be-
half of the Centaur Company of New
York, the manufacturers of Fetcher's
Castoria, against the Stewart &
Holmes Drug Company Of this city.
The controversy arose from the sim
ulating of the labels of this well-known
preparation, and from the evidence
filed in the case it was shown that the
infringing label was first discovered
on sale in Honolulu, and was traced to
it's origin here in Seattle.
The defendant company is one OF
the Oldest and largest concerns Of Its
kind in the Northwest.
The decree carries with 1t an order
that the Stewart & Holmes Company
recall the goods which are on the mar.
ket under the infringing label, and to
pay all costs in the suit and damages
assessed at $400.-Seattle, Wash,

WHAT AN OHIOAN
HAS TO SAY ABOUT CONDITIONS
IN WESTERN CANADA.

W. E. Lewis formerly lived near
Dayton, Ohio. He went to Saskatche-
wan seven years ago with $500 in
money, a carload of household effects
and farm implements. including four
horses and three cows. OF course, the
first year he only got feed from the
crops, but the second year had 100
acres in wheat which made we $500
bushels. He has not had a failure in
crop, and at present has % head of
horses, Is head of cattle and IS hogs,
and owns 1,120 acres of land, all Vi
der cultivation. He has been offered
$35 an acre for his land, and should
he care to dispose of his holdings he
could pay all his debts and have $780,
600 to the good; but, as he says,
Where could | go to invest my money
and get as good returns" He con-
tinues in his letter to the immigration
department, August, 1912:
I'VE have equally as good if not
better prospects for crops this year as
we had three years ago, when our
wheat ranged from 80 to 4S bushels
per acre. l never believed such crops
could be raised until l saw them my
self. l had Is acres that year that
made so bushels to the acre. Our
harvest will be ready by the 18th.
w have this season in crop 400 acres
of wheat, 1875 of oats, 80 of flax and
run three binders with four men to
do the stocking. We certainly like
this country and the winters, although
the winters are cold at times, but we
do not suffer as n would think.
What we have accomplished here can
be duplicated in almost any of the
new districts. Advertisement

"Now that the war is a settled fact, we must hope that some good

"One thing think we cn reasonably count is that with the
prosuation of industry, with the blows to prosperity. with the state OF
opportunity for common sense o resume its sway, and after the horri-
bic expenditure of the blood of the best and the savings of the rich and
