Form Of Divorce In Old Rome.

In the earlier period Of the Roman
republic divorces were quite unknown
and were rare right up to the time Of
the Sultan wars. In the old days the
husband and wife who wished to sepa-
rate appeared for the last time before
the common hearth, a priest and priest
ess being present AS on the day Of
marriage, a cake of wheaton flour was
presented to the husband and wife, but
instead Of sharing 1t between them
they rejected it. Then. instead Of pray
ers, they pronounced formulas of
strange, severe, spite i character, by
which the wife renowned the worship
and gods of the husband. From that
moment the religious bond was broken,
and. the community Of worship having
ceased to exist, the marriage without
further ado was forever dissolved

PUZZLED THE JAPANESE.
The TumuIt White Woman's Pair Of
Black Gloves Caused.


japanese women never wear gloves.
Thousands upon thousands Of Nippon
natives have never seen a pair Of
gloves. One day as an American girl
and were walking through a small
village some distance from Tokyo we
were at loss to understand why such
large crowd gathered around us on
the street
In II small town an American always
gathers a crowd, but this crowd was
particularly thick and excited and
when the Japanese do any looking they
want to do it up close. The natives kept
looking at my partner pointing and
jabbering away, wildly excited. The
crowd kept getting tighter and tighter,
while with our hands Oh our noses we
kept trying to push out. They kept
pointing at her hands, then at her face.
and not until one of them reached
over and felt of her hands did we I'M
derstand what was the matter.
The girl with me had on a pair Of
black gloves with the ends under her
sleeves, so that the excited villagers
were trying to solve the mystery of
how person could have black hands
and white face When she drew of
her gloves. revealing hands the same
color as her face. they disappointedly
widened enough to let us through.
No doubt II she had not removed her
gloves the legend Of the woman with
the black hands and the white face
that once visited the town would have
been handed down for years.-Homer

lines. with vessels plying to Nome, st. Michael Kotzebue sound ana ports in Western Alaska.
 The Unalga station was of great value to vessels on the Nome and St. Michael route and to canneries in Western Alaska, on the Seward pen lnsula and on Boring sea, which have wireless stations for the handling of business messages.
 The steamers Santa Ana, Victoria, Senator. Redondo. Pavlop, Windber, Cordovo and Seward worked with the Unalga station, which relayed their messages to the North Head station, on the Oregon coast. The cannery stations of the Alaska Packers, Lib- by. McNeil & Libby and the Colum- bia River Packers usally worked with the Kodiak station, which relayed their messages to North Head.
 The government is building a 25- idlowatt station at Cordova, but it will not be completed this season. The chief objection to the abndonment of the Unalga station is that the government did not wait until after the new station on St. Paul island was clompleted.

GERMANS WOULD
 LIKE TO CELL
 iNTERNED SHIPS

NEW YORK. Sept. 2-It is stated here that banks affiliated with the German financial institutions arc anx- ious for the United States to provide for the purchase Of the German ships that are interned in American waters. It is stated that the proceeds of the sale would be left in the United States and expended in this country if the sale could be made. the Ger man government caring for the Ger man stockholders.
 That there would be plenty of American bidders for the German yes seis in case they were guaranteed an American register is stated by those who are urging the acceptance of the ships.
 It is stated that the American line would take several of the German passenger ships # they could use the same as American ships.
 It is believed here that if the ship purchase bin Is passed by Congress next winter. that the American gov ernment would buy several German vessels that would be satisfactory to the South American trade. and that would result finally in the sale of the big passenger ships to Americans for the European trade.

 STEAMSHIP LINE
 IS NOW FORMING

BOSTON. Sept. 2. - The Boston Post says that Timothy E. Byrnes, former vice-president of the New Ha- ven road, is planning the organiza- ton Of a new S12.OOOOOO steamship line-Boston owned and Boston con- trored-to run to the principal ports of the Pacific coast via the Panama Canal. The plan calls for the building of n steamships from 10000 to IT, 900 tons. and weekly sailings from Boston to San Diego. Los Angeles, San Francisco. Portland and Seattle, the vessels to carry freight and pas sengers. Mir. Brynes says:
 There is a wonderful opportunity for such a line of steamships. It costs less to ship goods from Chi .cago intended for San Francisco by rail to Boston and then by water through the Panama canal from this citw than all the way by rail from Chicago to San Francisco. Such a line as ] contemplate would have all the New England states and the Mid dle West to draw upon"

DOLPHIN SAILOR GETS
 A FINE GOLD WATCH

SEATTLE, Aug. 2S.- Just before the steamer Dolphin. Of the Alaska Steamship Company, left her berth at pier last night bound for South eastern Alaska ports. there was an interesting ceremony on board, the presentation of a gold watch and chain to Victor Petersen, @ member of the crew for heroism in the saving of the life of one of the vessels passengers on her last voyage.
 While the Dolphin was at Haines on August z, Miss Helen Kepner, of Denver Colo. fell from the pier and was in danger of being drowned when Peterson leaped from the deck of the steamer and rescued her. In the fall Miss Kepners head struck on the rail of the steamer and she was so badly stunned by the blow that she would have lost her life had it not been for the quick work of Pet ersen.
 Passengers of the Dolphin on the way back to Seattle took up a collec. tion and appointed committee, con- sisting of Ben. Blewett, of St. Louis,; Stephen Knight. of Denever; John R. Bell, of Greeley, Colo, and n. V. Kep- ner of Denver, a brother of Miss Kep- ner with instructions to purchase a watch and chain for Petersen.
 The presentation was made last night aboard the vessel at pier two by Kenneth c. Kerr, editor of the Rail- way and Marine News, who was sell ected to represent the Alaska Steam ship Company by John Fl. Bunch, gen. eral freight and passenger agent. Un- der orders from supt R. R.

WEEKS IN HIGH
 FAVOR FOR PRESIDENT

BOSTON. Sept. 2.-An official of a large Boston industrial corporation. just back from a trip to the Pacific coast. says:
 Everywhere I found a very strong undercurrent in favor of Senator Weeks of Massachusetts as a second choice for President. Almost every state has a "favorite son who is be- ing groomed for first choice. but there is @ surprising unanimity of opinion that the Massachusetts Senator should be the Republican candidate if the local man cannot win.
 q believe that the tide is running strongly toward Senator Weeks. not withstanding the disadvantage under which he labors in being a resident of an Eastern State.
 Tn the extreme West, Wilson stock is away below par, chiefly because of the Panama canal toll and the La Toilette shipping bills"
