Wants Divorce Because
Husband Made Her Feed
7 Dogs and Tend Bees

Constant complaining about her
cooking, laziness. seven bowling dogs,
and four hives of bees were among the
reasons the Dauphin County Divorce
Court learned to-day. that Mrs. Will
liam A. II. Seltzer, daughter of ex-
Sheriff Shellenberger, of Middletown,
is seeking legal separation from her
husband.
The respondent, is now among the
missing, according to the wife, elud-
ing court maintenance order. The
couple was married October Z, 1896.
All was happiness until March 15,
1909, when the wife in the role of a
good samaritan, advisd her husband
to stop work, so that he might regain
his former good health. The trouble
started, the wife said, when Seltzer.
who has fully recovered was advised
to seek employment. On several oc-
casions Mrs. Seltzer says she was stung
by the bees, and she said Seltzer
enjoyed poking fun by making nasty
remarks regarding her swollen face.
She said further that her husband
made her feed seven dogs, that he
made a practice of chasing her about
the house and striking her many times
and complained much about the cook
ing.

THERE Is NO DEATH.
SAYS ELLA WHEELER VIII COX

copyright. 1918. by Star Company
1t seemeth such a little way TO me
Across to that strange country. the
Beyond:
And yet not strange, for it has grown
The home of those of whom I am
so fond:
They make it seem familiar. and most
dear,
AS journeying friends bring distant
countries near.
So close it lies that when my sight
is clear
seem to see the cleaning of that
strand;
] know 1 feel those who have gone
from here
Come near enough to even touch
I often think but for our veiled eyes.
We would find Heaven right round
about us lies.
i cannot make it seem a day to dread
When from this dear earth I shall
journey out
TO that still dearer country OF the
dead
And join the lost ones so long
dreamed about.
love this world. yet I shall love to go
And meet the friends who wait for
me, know.
] never stand above the bier and see
The seal of death set on some well
loved face
But that I think-One more to well
come me
When 1 shall cross the intervening
space
Between this land and that one
Over There;
Ono more to make the strange Be-
yond seem fair.
And so to me there is no sting to
death,
And so the grave has lost It's vic
tory.
It Is but crossing, with suspended
breath
And white, set face, little strip of
sea,
10 find the loved ones on the other
shore,
More beautiful, more precious than
4 before.

He was quick to deny this. He did
not wish anyone to think that the

out another in fair competition.
"Oh, no." he confidently asserted,

"Oh, well, then. perhaps, you know

Yes; we tried all the big advertis-

There isn't any other big advertis-

business patriotism was unquestion-

Taft Warmly Defends

toward "concealment, chicanery and
trickery."
Mr.. Taft said he did agree that
Something has happened to impair
the confidence of the people in our
courts" but declared that the trouble
did not lie with the judges, the law
yers or the methods of procedure. In
his opinion the trouble had arisen be-
cause of "misstatements and misrepre-
sentations of demagogues as to the
character of courts and of their de-

sions, in other Realms.
My correspondent may be a strong
man physically and mentally, but he
is dwarfed and stunted spiritually:
and because he is so, he thinks there
is no spiritual truth in the universe:
as the man born blind might think
there was no light of sun or moonfor
star.
Fortunately there are hundreds of
brilliant minds ready to give their
testimony to the contradiction of this
mans statements that earth and hu-
man life are accidents, and that
chance rules all things, and that
there is no life beyond this life. and
no realm beyond earth.
One of the greatest men who ever
lived on earth, great scientist, a
great humanitarian, a great scholar.
was Swedenborg. And this man gave
up position and power and place
among the ambitious people OF earth
TO devote his mature years to telling
the world the marvellous facts he had
and Life beyond Life.
When he was dying at the advanced
age of eighty-three, he was offered all
the solaces of orthodox religion if
he would say that he had not heard
these voices or seen visions. But I
did see and did hear" he replied. And
those We're almost his last words.
Swedenborg's opinions on politics
or science left no marked impression
on the world; very few people even
know that he was renowned in those
days. But Swedenborg's great relig
ious philosophy is the comfort and
the strength of thousands OF intel
lectual and useful human beings.
There is an old Hindoo phrase
which reads thus:
He who knows not, and knows NOT
that he knows not, he is a fool:
Shun him.
He who knows not, and knows that
he knows not, he is simple: teach
him.
He who knows, and knows not that
he knows, he is asleep: wake him.
He who knows, and knows that he
knows, he is wise; follow him.
Swedenborg was the latter He was
the perfect triangle. Great in all
ways. There are thousands of other
human beings living. and thousands
who have lived, strong of intellect.
