ACQUITS THE M0THER-lN.LAW
Pennsylvania Court Is Of Opinion It 10
Not Domestic Peace's Chief
Disturber.

Wife's mother is acquitted of be-
ing the principal disturber of domes-
tic peace, if one may judge by the
annual report of the desertion and
nonsupport court of Allegheny coun-
ty, according to Pittsburgh dis
patch in the New York Herald. Of
all the relatives whose interference
caused disruption of families, the
mother-in-law has the fewest offenses
scored against her. Only 3 per cent
of the desertion and nonsupport cases
listed for 1914 are attributed to
mother-in-law, although interference
of aunts, sisters-in-law and other rel
atives in family affairs is a common
cause of discord.
Wiie's peppery temper, her habit
Of tossing bits of furniture or crock
cry about or her infatuation for some
other man appear as prolific causes
of trouble.
Disparity in ages has led to man
or wife getting tired of marital ties
in many instances, as did luxurious
tastes of wives when the husband
was drawing about fifteen ''per."
Other causes of discord were in
ability to obtain employment, intem-
perance, incompatibility and immor-
ality.
In other years the mother-in-law
was given as the disturbing factor in
large percentage of cases, and often
the court effected a reconciliation by
directing mamma to stay away from
the daughters home and let the
young folk run things to suit them
selves.

COMFORTS ON FIRING LINE
Everything Possible Is Done for the
Men on Duty in the Trenches
in Europe.

We are constantly learning more OF
the economy of trench life, and from
time to time we are given a glimpse
at what may be called it's luyuries.
The telephone is, of course, a neces-
sity, but now there is the hyperperi-
scope, by which you may see your.
enemy without giving his snipers a
chance at a pot shot. One letter from
the front the other day mentioned that
the question Of electric lighting is
being considered seriously, and the
latest refinement is that of the electro
phone, by which men in reserve may
provide concerts for their comrades in
the firing line.
War has often been luxurious be-
fore, but only for the men at the top.

KEEP THE SHEEP DRY
Wet Eve Is Not Likely to Do Her
Best for Owner.
Greatest Damage Resulting From
Wettins Is Discomfort Following
-Water-Tisht Shed Will Prove
Quite Satisfactory.
(By e. HENDERSON,

A few days ago, while returning
from our home town, I was struck by
the sad and forsaken appearance of
flock of sheep subjected to beat.
ing rain.
Their backs were bumped up, their
heads dropping and the general ap-
pearance gave the impression that
they were the victims of a careless
and thoughtless farmer.
1t is true that the fleece of sheep
is quite long and dense and in an
ordinary rain it is quite improbable
that the fleece should become thor
oughly saturated, but it is also true
that all rains are not ordinary" ones,
and we can never tell just when one
of these beating, driving rains will
come to cause misery to the ewes and
loss to the farmers pocketbook.
1t is at once apparent that the wet
eve is not one to do the best for her
owner. AS long as she Is soaked she
will not Craze, or if she does it will
be only enough to furnish the actual
needs of the body.

Red Clouds GRANDDAUGHTER.

The biggest thing in the way of an
Indian wedding ever held among the
Sioux Indians was celebrated at Chad
ron, Neb, short time back, when
James CALICO, a white ranch owner,
and Miss Josephine Richards, grand
daughter of the late Red Cloud, big
chief of all the Sioux tribes, were mar
ried
The best man was James Roam
Eagle, and the bridesmaid was Miss
Angeline Kills Above. Miss Kills
Above is also a granddaughter of Red
Cloud. Half a hundred Indians ac-
companied the party from the Pine
Ridge agency to Chadron for the cere-
mony, which was performed by County
Judge Slater.
Judge Skaters fee from the bride
groom was $50 and fine saddle horse.
The brides dowry was herd Of 1,500
Hereford cattle and 500 horses, their
total value being probably $150,0O0.
AS soon as the snow melts Mr.. and
Mrs. CALICO intend making long
tour in their automobile.

POWER FROM THE DESERT
inventor Sanguine of the Success Of
His Project for Utilizing the
Worlds Waste Places.

The inventor Of sun,power engine
now working in Egypt claims that 20,-
900 square miles of the Sahara desert
can be made to deliver as much power
as is obtained from all the coal now
mined in the world.
The claim is a little startling at
first. Population has followed me-
chanical power for many years, and
doubtless will continue to do so. II
the sun engine is made truly practical,
visions arise of the densely peopled
areas of the North being deserted for
the sun-taked plains of Africa, Ari-
zona and Mexico What then?
Nothing then. That emigration
never will take place Nature has so
ordered it that lands of perpetual sun
shine produce very little that mankind
needs. Man, of recent years, has ar
ranged things so that power can be
shipped long distances over a wire,
with comparatively little loss. If the
sun-power engine does as much as
this inventor hopes, the worlds des-
erts may become great generating sta
tions, and that is about all.
Even this is problematical. It is
doubtful if sun power ever can be gen.
Grated as cheaply as water power, in
certain favored regions, and it will be
many a long year before the new de-
velopment cuts down the consumption
of coal-Chicago Journal.
