PASSING OF BlGAMY.

Are we about to bid good-by for
ever to bigamy? When a gallant in
Los Angeles was caught with too
many wives his lawyer put up the
picturesque defense that he was moi
guilty of bigamy or trigonometry or
anything of that commonplace kind !;
ne was merely afflicted with ''matri-
monial aphasia."
Let philosophers and psychologists
discuss the more profound question
as to whether a man, having once
knelt at Hymen's altar, can allow
the incident to escape his mind to
such an extent as to 60 and do it
again; the fact remains, now the ice
has been broken by this Los Angeles
legal mind, that we shall hear more
and more of this novel marital dis
order.
There are too many astute iuris
prudes in this country for an oppor-
tunity like this to slip by uneln-
braced. It requires no imagination
whatsoever to see the chancery courts
of the future filled with mighty ex-
perts learnedly disagreeing as to
whether man is a bigamist or mere
ly an unfortunate matrimonial apha
siac.-Judge.

Gradual Advance in Artillery.

The greatest change in artillery
came about the time Of our Civil war,
when the rified gun was brought out.
a. later period the gun carriages were
improved, SO that the recoil was alb.

throw the gun back after each dis
charge. Since 1860 constant improve
ments have been made until the pres

But Circumstances Prevented

Something Happened Which Was
Worth Ten Such Thoughts a. Had
Come to the seribe-so This
Particular Gem Was Lost.

One day the Observer had an idea.
It Is a rare experience, and the obvi-
Gus thing to do was to get 1t down on
paper just as quickly as the speed
limit ON his old typewriter allows.
He grabbed sheet OF paper, rammed
1t into the typewriter, and started
reaching for the first letter when the
Office door opened and lady came in.
The lady, whose home Is near Mil
ford, extended a piece of paper and
some money. with the remark that II
was . subscription bill, somewhat
overdue. which she had come In TO
pay. CHANGING at the paper the oh
server had shock which drove that
fncipient idea into the remoiest cor
ner OF bis belfry. where 1t seems to
be lost forever. He Is absolutely UNI
able TO remember what that great
thought was about. what stirring
CLEAN OF sense was about to be born
and given to the world. This is his
excuse:
Tho bin which was extended for
payment was dated May. 1894.
The explanation was that an Did
trunk In the attic was wanted for use,
and In cleaning II out. among a lot
OF old receipts and papers. they had
discovered this old bill. The system
OF filing bills and receipts was such
as TO make these honest people quite
sure that the bill had not been paid.
The lady was assured that IL there
was any record OF the account, now Il
years old. II was In the cobweben-
crusted old books In the garnet. that
the account was outlawed anyway. and
that very likely duplicate of tho bill
had been paid 20 years ago. She was
obdurate. She had como to pay that
bin and get a receipt. An offer 10 re-
ceipt IL for half the amount was not
satisfactory. 1t was her rule. and her
husbands. 10 pay IN full for everything.
and she had Travelled several miles to
settle an account old enough to be a
legal voter. She paid and took her
receipt. and II she did not then and
there create worlds record for do
ferred payment she made one which IL
seldom equaied.
As stated. the bill was paid but the

was probably worth about twenty

yate, and that their total value Is
S500.000.000. These are the figures of.
tered by Dr. p. G. Branson of the Uns

OF a committee charged with the ex-
penditure of s3.500.000 for the better

problem. and is solving IL in terms OF
industry and soil ownership. Negro
population In the South is dwindling.
says Doctor Branson, except in the
states of Arkansas and Oklahoma, but
1t is increasing In the cities and de-
