Here's Some Sim
pl;f;ed Spelling
With a Vengeance

Where are the spoilers of yester-
day! Where are the children who
carried home every night Webster's old
green backed speller. with the covers
torn and the pages dos cared from con-
slant use. VI here are the real old
fashioned spelling matches; not the
ones where the children get up and
spell for twenty minutes or so. but
those where the whole countryside
gathered for an evenings entertain
ment, and spelled little trifles like
"metempsychosis." or "ratiocination,"
without the flicker of an eyelid?
Alas, all these are gone, passed into
the great beyond" as 1t were, and what
remains is only country full Of chill
dren who are woefully deficient In the
orthogrf/hy that their fathers and
grandf/hers took so much pride in
mastering.
Not because they are from the local
schools especially. but because they
typify more or less the careless spell
ing of the children of today, the fol-
lowing list of words Is given. to show
what boys and girls in the eighth and
ninth grades do when thrown on their
own resources in regard to spelling.
I-OSSlply IL lHSSt ShiiNA SAA Ait'e
put as much time on spelling in the
lower grades as they did with some Of
the newer tangled ideas this list would
never have been compiled. Ii Is taken
from examination papers of pupils in
the prepatory and the first year high
school, Where there is some doubt as
to what the word really is, the correct
spelling is shown in parentheses:
Carlina, faful (faithfuD negroe and
negrow survent. cost (coasO, arriving
nocked, non (none). paper (paper),
somt hing, importert, bissiness, humon

(aso). lonly, Jupiter, accounted (ac-
companied). haden't, raped (wrappeO,
message humorous, peice, thron
(thrown) vaces). captain, diamainds
opels. rubes, and emerals.
Originality if nothing else, is dis
played in the spelling of most of these
words

WILL DECIDE PROBABLY
SOON WHETHER r. S. DAVIS
DIVORCE is TO STAND.
MRS. DAVIS MAY FILE
MOTION TO SET DECREE ASIDE
There Is Possibility That Appearance
May Be Made in the Case For Mrs.
Davis-AIso That Arrangement For
Second Divorce of Couple May Be
Brought About.

Judge b. +. Cummings now has I'M
cedure on which he will very probably
decide whether the decree of divorce
Renie StQnewall Davis was granted
from Mrs. Bernice Reiph Davis will
stand or be set aside ]. VI. Whitaker
had nothing additional 20 present
Tuesday afternoon to support his the
DRY that it was necessary 10 file the
affidavit of the non residence of Mrs.
DAVIS in Iowa before the first publica
ticn Of the original notice OF suit.
Instead of presenting further argu-
ment in court Whitaker mad a short
private conference with the judge in
the afternoon. Afterwards Judge Cum
mings said that he had taken the point
under consideration, withou: saying
when he would rule on it.
Mrs. Davis May Intervene.
There is a possibility that Mrs.
Davis, who has made no appearance iii
the case, and did not contest the di-
vorce, may be formally entered. There
is reason to believe that attorneys rep
resenting her in Beloit WIS. may file
a motion in the local court asking that
the decree of divorce granted her hus-
band be set aside.
Such action would bring Mrs. Davis
into the case, thing that is very
much desired by Davis attorney. 1t
might also result in Davis consent
ing to Mrs. Davis securing a divorce in
Wisconsin, or in Davis being permitted
by his wife to secure a divorce here
without contest.
In case. however, that Davis decree
of divorce is set aside by the court
either before or after Mrs. Davis mo-
ton to do so is filed, the status of
the married relations of Davis and
Mrs. Vera NJ. Davis, his second wife,
would be affected at least temporarily,
or until second decree of divorce.

EVA SUES M. G. ST. l..
Vaudeville Actress Wants Pay For
ALLEGED Failure to Deliver Baggage.

Eva Tanguay, the cycicnic vaude-
Vile actress, has begun suit thru her
attorneys against the Minneapolis &
ST. Louis Railway Company for s412,
as cross petition for a suit begun
against her by Tom Arthur, manager
of the Cecil Theater in Mason City.
Eva and her company played in Mar
shalltown last February. and were
scheduled to give two performances in
Mason City the next afternoon and
evening. The company did not arrive
in time to give the matinee, and Arthur
sued said company for s20s. So Eva
comes back and sues the railroad for
twice that amount, SAP, because the
railroad did not deliver her baggage.
while the NJ. & st. l.. promptly states
that the baggage was not at the depot
in time for the train, which left on
schedule time.
The case has been brought in the
Cerro Gordo county district court.

JURY GIVES MAcklN VERDICT.
St. Anthony Farmer Gets Finding Of
S1Od For DELAYED Hoo Shipments.


s1o4 For Delayed Hog Shipments.
A verdict of s1O4.s5 was given John
Mackin, of St. Anthony, Tuesday after
noon, by a jury in the district court
which heard the case Mackin brought
against the NJ. & ST. L. The verdict
was for most of Mackins claim. which
was 1851.
Mackin sued for damages done to
two cars Of swine shipped from st.
Anthony to this city, because OF delay
in transportation. The railroad COM
pany pleaded the delay was caused by
an act of God-fierce snow storms and
below zero weather that made it i'm
possible for the railroad company to
move the hogs without danger OF them
being frozen enroute. The hogs were
shipped in January. 1912.
