Although Mrs. Julia ,Nardy. appeared
in the supreme court at White Plains
today TO secure a decree Of separa-

She has been separated for three
years, Justice Joseph Morschauser
brought the couple together by ex-
pounding few ideas on marital har-
.mony.
Mr.. Nardy said that he could not
live with his wife because She was
continually nagsing him and because
She had a fiery temper.
She has habit when She is real
mad of throwing dishes and articles
OF furniture at me and it keeps me

BIBLE STORY
ENACTED on
TURKISH SOIL
All Great Empires of the East
Products of What Has
Been Ottoman.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 20.-ln pa
per telling something of the wonder
full history of the lands over which
Turkey has ruled for many genera
'tions. prepared for the National Geo
graphic Society, William Joseph Sho-
walter gives some interesting facts
which ordinarily escape attention. He
reminds the reader that except when
Paul and his associates crossed the
Iellespont to Athens and Rome, the
entire Bible story, from Genesis to
Revelation, was lived in what has
been Turkey, and calls attention to
the fact that the great empires OF the
East, the civilizations of the Egypt
ians and the Phoenicians, the glories
of Byzantium-all were planted on
what has been Turkish soil. He also
shows how King Sargon, ruling at
the very. dawn Of history, congratu-
lated his empire upon his success in
bringing down the high cost Of living.
He says, in part:
Historic Interest.
NO other people possess lands OF
such wonderful historic interest as the
Turks: Occupying region only a
third as great in area as the United
States, they have yet territory with.
in whose boundaries the greatest, the

an account of the. doings of people
who never got beyond what have hith-
.erto been the confines of Turkey
From a single corner OF the Ottoman
empire across the Babylon that in its
days all but ruled the world. From
that same region envy and famine
sconspired to send the children of ABB
raham into Egypt, which until recent
~ was embraced in the empire of the
tOttomans. Thence, as they marched
back from Africa to Asia, through the
Wilderness Of Sin to the Promised
Land, they never once set foot OFF OF
what came to be Turkish soil. And
when the Star Of Bethlehem arose it
stood over a manger, on land that is
now Turkish soil.

derson ranch on Lost liver a few
days ago, comprising 440 acres. The
land is situated on the east side of

a fine house and other buildings, run
ming water, timber and springs. It
is at the edge of a fine mountain

WELSH NATURAL SINGERS

The visits of the Royal event
Welsh singers is by no means a new
venture, indeed it is nof a matter
of history. Americans were first
thrilled by these singers from the
land of song as early as 1898, when
two Welsh choruses won first prizes
at the worlds fair in Chicago. The
Royal event Welsh singers stands
and sings before the world today as
the unsurpassed organization of its
kind and incidentally as the standard
bearers, though all the land of the
superiority Of the Welsh nation, as
a nation Of singers. 1t would be a
difficult task indeed to analyze this
fact, but 1t can be realized in a most
easy way, that is by going to listen
to these famous singers tonight, Feb
ruary IL, at the High School audi
torium.

A FIRE AT

Friday evening about 1880 the
residence of w. H. Harmon on east
Bridge street took fire about the f1ue
and considerable damage was done.
The neighbors hurried to the scene
with buckets and soon had it extin-
pushed, though a hole was burned
through the roof and things were
badly water soaked.
The fire department responded to
the alarm but gave out before they
got there. They rested some, sent
out scouts to get news of the fire
and were hauled to the City hall by
a passing automobile.
