KEPT COFFEE HOT 9 YEARS
For Being a Patient Husband, Aba,
doIIa Saad Undoubtedly Holds
a Record Hard to Beat.

Duluth, Minn.-Abadolla Saad,
most patient husband in La Crosse,
has been granted a divorce by Judge
Highbee. One day in 1906 the wife
stepped over to a neighbor's. She
told her husband to keep the coffee
hot. Abadolla was faithful husband.
He kept the coffee hot nine years.
He went about his work as usual and
said nothing. Then it came to him
that he had been deserted, and he made
application for divorce.
The court heard his story. The
woman had not written since leaving
home. Neighbors had seen her take
a train. The husband did not know
where she went. The judge granted
an interlocutory decree of divorce I'M
der which Saad will have to wait at
least another year before he remar-
ries. Wait only one year? Oh. one
year is nothing, nothing at all" he
said.

BELATED HONOR
PAID TO PATRIOT
Caesar Rodney to Have His
Bravery Recognized by a
Memorial Tablet.

Caesar Rodney, the hero of the sign.
ing of the Declaration of Independ
ence, will soon have his long illrecog
nized bravery commemorated by a
tablet in the Declaration chamber at
Philadelphia.
The Independence hall advisory
committee has announced that the
tablet has been decided upon and will
be placed soon among other pictures
and relics of the fathers of the re-
public.
While the probably unfounded story
OF the boy and grandfather, his cry
Ring, grandpa, ring" is known to
every schoolchild, the noble act OF
Caesar Rodney is familiar to few
Americans.
The tentative vote taken by the
delegates July /, 1776, was indecisive.
Some of the colonies had sent a ma
jority of Tory delegates and the votes
of Pennsylvania and South Carolina
We're against freeing the colonies from
the British yoke. Two delegates from
Delaware were tied and the third was
Caesar Rodney, who lay very i'll in
his home near Dover. He was suffer
ing from a cancer which had caused
him to wear a veil over his face.
On the night before the birth Of
independence Thomas MCKeen, whose
vote for the Declaration had negatived
that of George Reed, also of Delaware,
dispatched 6. messenger to Caesar Rod
ney, urging him to come at once. II
all the colonies did not sign the docu'
ment, he wrote there could be no eff
fective resistance to England. The
delegates we're then engaged in anx'
ious and prolonged debate.
Early in the morning the messenger
reached the Rodney farm at Bayfield,
Delaware, and delivered his message
Caesar Rodney rose from his bed
His nurse and relatives told him ne
was going forth to death.
NIcKeen had calculated that If Rod
ney. came and cast the deciding vote
for Delaware, Pennsylvania and South
Carolina would step into line and
would swing every state for independ

on the route. Rodney rode at the
limit of speed, leaving the messenger
who had summoned him far behind,
He had to be lifted from his horse
and led into the chamber. With
his strength fast ebbing he cast the
vote on which the fate of America
hinged.
South Carolina and Pennsylvania
voted in the affirmative and then, with
John Hancock at their head, all the
delegates put their pens to the Declare
ton.
Rodney did not die just then. He
recovered little. and with enormous
hardihood enlisted and won com.
mission in the Continental army. His
malady, however soon overlook him
and he died in his forty-sixth year. g.,

CIRCUS IS COMING
The Sells-Floto and Buffalo Bill
Arranging for August g.

There are those who say that he
started taking ten miles before he
hit town. But whether that is true or
not, certainly he began with the mo
ment of his arrival. The trend OF the
whole conversation? simply one
thing-the coming of the Sells-Floto
Circus and T. Buffalo Bills Original
Wild West which is to arrive here
for q days engagement, Monday, Aug
ust 9th. For AL Butler, special agent.
is here to make contracts and other
arrangements for the coming of the
big show. ami naturally he wants to
talk about the thing which is nearest
his heart--that circus.
"Or, rather, want everybody in
town to see the parade when the
show comes. Mr. Butler said. That
will save me doing q lot of explaining
merchant shows his samples, does
MT he? So do vein that parade.
And If you aren't just itching to come
to the circus after you've seen that
two mile glittering galaxy, as the
press agent would say, We don't want
you to come.
Beg pardon? Yes, Buffalo Bill Il
still with the show and he will APP
pear personally at each performanct
to give his salute from the saddle
and to direct the Wild West pro
gram"

THE SWIMMING POOL
Is a Much Desired Feature in Con-
nection With Y. M. c. A.

The meeting of the directors of the
Y. NJ. C. A. held last night was very
interesting. The question of install
ing a swimming pool and two bowling
alleys was fully discussed 1t was
conceded that both the alleys and
the pool were much needed and would
do much to add to the attractiveness
of the privileges, but there was some
doubt expressed as to the advisable
ity of attempting to raise the neces'
sary amount at this time. A com
mittee was appointed however to look
into the proposition and get an esti-
mate of the cost Of providing these
privileges. There are many young
men and boys who frequent unwhole'
the Y. M. G. A. because the privileges
are not attractive to them, who prob
ably would come under the influence
of the Association if the pool and
bowling alleys we're provided. All
are agreed that these privileges are
needed and every parent would be
glad to see them added, but these
things cost money and upwards OF
ten thousand dollars possibly would
have to be secured. This seems, al
most impossible in view, of the fact
that no subscription of any size is in
sight. 1t is agreed, too, that these
added privileges should be ready for
the fall opening of the work, but the
directors. hesitate to undertake 1t.
The committee. however, will report
their finances early next week and a
plan will probably be decided upon.

IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Di-
rector Of Weather Bureau.
For the week ending July 5, 1915.

For the week ending July 5, 1915.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The week was unseasonably cool,
the average temperature being about
Z degrees below the normal. The
rainfall was also less than the nor
NAL except in H. the south central and
southeastern counties. where it was
heavy and of daily occurrence. The
frequent prains prevented haying and
harvesting in the southern counties
and the cold weather retarded the
growth of corn. However, good pro-
gress was made in ,cultiyating corn
over the central and northern coun-
ties and the crop. is thrifty though
backward, and with warm weather
will make rapid growth. Some fall
wheat and rye was cut, but over most
of the area where the grain is ripe
there was too much rain to do any
harvesting. Showery weather also
retarded ripening of grain and pre-
vented the curing of clover hay. Pc
tatoes,. garden truck and fruit, espe.
cially apples, are in excellent condi-
ton. GEO. NJ. CHAPPEL,
Director.

The United States OF America is
1873 years old. These be ripe years,
yet the most captlous critic must
grant that the nation is we'll grown,
even for its age. s..r .stgr
1t is we'll grown in more than mere
size and material wealth, This ami
versary of its birth finds the great
republic jealous for the right at home,
and earnestly trying to serve man
kind abroad. 1t presents the most
unusual spectacle of a giant nation
using its strength. not as giant but
as n friend; generously unselflshly
helping weak and wrangling neighbors
to better IDEALS and happier conditions,
The glory Of this unselfish service
will last far longer than the glamor
of any war of conquest.
