 Kansas City. Mo.--Some men are driven to the divorce courts because their wives ara extravagant, morose. flippant, light headed, giddy or of a temperan, incompatible with their own.

 Literary Brothers
Fly HAYDEN CHURCH

London, March I.-(Special)-Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. the novelist, tbetter known as ''Q") who now Is pro- lessor of English literature at Cam bridge. Is the deadly fot of what he calls ''jargon." He never is tired of condemning the use of 1t by writers great and small, and has abundant req son for his onslaughts, for there is a terrible lot of 'Jargon" employed by scribes on this side if the water, par ticularly those who write for the press. By "jargon" it should be explained Sir Arthur means using big words or grandiloquent language where little words. or simple language would do just as well, or, according to his view. a lot better.

RAZORRACK HOG OF
 FLORIDA UNEQUALED
Forage on Bitter Wild Oranges-Fat an Unknown Quantity-Never
 Tr0ts or Runs

There are razorback hogs and razor owns up to having spent winter in the wayback woods of Florida, according to the New York Sun, "but the only true. genuine, hollow ground, keen edged ra- zorback hog is the one that roams and roots the dim lit aisles of those Florida woods, making them look like the streets of New York in their perennial process of being improved. That Florida razor back is a dream. tile kind of dream that might follow the trail of the Welsh rab- bit, mince pie and lobster taken just be- fore turning in for the night
 "I mind me of one fine specimen of razorback hog which was source of much pride to the folk down there Ss establishing a precedent in the possibiIi- ties of razorback breeding for physical dimension and proportion as well as heft. This particular one was an inveteratc hunter after hens eggs. The instant he'd hear hen give herself away by raising a cackle he'd make for the hay shed, in tbe mow or which the hens found favorfte hooks for their nests, and if he wastn't watched mighty close he mount the ladder leading up into tho mow and scramble thar new laid egg in short order.

 "One day this on the assurance of my host, venerable and exemplary citizen of that environment or utter unsophisti- cation--this hog responded to the cackle of a hen and raided her nest in the mow, as 1t was supposed. At any rate attention was by and by drawn so the razorback|

 Early in his talk, Sir Arthur quoted the following delicious verdict. which he declared actually was returned by a coroner's jury in the west country. A drowned postman was the victim of it:

Comment on Thornton


 Whose gallons of ink still are being spilled on this side of the Atlant'c over the appointment of Henry W. Thornton, the American railroad man, as man ager of the Great Easter railway of England. Apropos thereof, an English acquaintance of the writer's who has American experience, recalls another able and otherwise remarkable railway mana ger, who, many years ago. went from this country to take control of an American road.
 His name was Charlton and the line of which he assumed control was the Chicago & Alton one, but the most striking thing about him was hls marked literary tastes. Particularly had he a passion for poetry, and un- der his mana cement the timetables of
 the Chicago & Alton line were "improv- ing reading" in the highest sense. As there was then no copyright with the United States, Charlton was at liberty to pad out his timetables with the work
 of the best English authors: and he did not neglect his opportunity. One timetable was a Tennyson number, and another Browning number, and so on. Under Charlton the Chicago & Alton railway made the copyright English poets. more accessible in the United States than they were at home. The
 poets may not have liked this, but it Yos good for citizens of the Unite States.

 "It could be heard but not seen, and at last it was located as oeing somewhere in the space between the outer and the inner clapboarding of the shed. Siding was torn away enough to release the pig, which was standing square on it's feet on the sill. The joists on t.e inner and out CT sides of which the clapboards were nailed were four inches wide. That made the space where the pig was standing four inches wide. You can figure up yourself how thick through the pig must have been.

An Unusual Interview
