Tiuer Superstitions,

In India the people believe in very
many old fairy tales. One of these is
that the ghost of man killed by a
tiger rides on the head of the beast
that slew him to warn him of danger
and to guide him to new victims. 1t is
declared that Providence provides for
the tigers daily wants to the amount
of 1 rupee e shillings) a day-that is
to say, if tiger kills a calf worth 6
rupees he will not be allowed another
victim for five days. Eating the flesh
Of a tiger is supposed to give one great
courage and alertness, but the whis-
kers must first be singed off the beast
or his spirit will haunt the man who
fed off him, and he is likely to be turn
ed into tiger in the next world.

DIVORCE FROM SINGER
SOUGHT BY WEALTHY AND AGED
COLORADO RANcHER.
Boyington Shelton Tires After Ten
Years of Waiting Return of
Young opera Star.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver Boyington Skelton'
wealthy and aged rancher, has filed
suit for divorce from Mrs. Marguerite
Starelle Shelton, the young opera
singer, who has been absent from her
husband ten years. Mrs. Shelton now
Is in Paris, France. Service will be
made through the American minister
in Paris.
Mrs. Skelton came to Denver from
Sweden and took work in the home
of Mr.. Shelton as housemaid. He was
wealthy and she was poor. He heard
her singing about the house and real
lied that she had a wonderful voice.
He made her his wife, and sent her
abroad to have her voice trained. She
succeeded from the start. She wished
to rival Melba and other great sing
ers, and has, in a measure, done so.
After her musical education had
been finished under De Reszke, in
Paris, Mrs Skelton sang in the Ma
tional theater of that city, and later
with the Metropolitan Grand Opera
Company in New York.
But while his wife was spending her
husbands money in completing her
education, he was having trouble at
home. He engaged in litigation over
his ranch near Littleton, which had
been left him by his mother, who was
said to be the first white woman to
settle on the upper Platte. His wife
came to his aid and furnished money
from her salary to aid him. He fl
nally won his suit.
Mrs. Shelton then returned TO the
stage and sang in all of the large
American and European cities. That
was ten years ago He waited for
her to return, but the lure of her ca
reer kept her away. Desertion OF
more than one year is the only charge
made in the complaint. They mar
ried Aug. IA, 1897.

brutal methods of warfare Germany
has alienated the sympathies of neu-

grow daily.
The allies are firmly, resolved to go

are fighting for the liberty of all
against the tyranny of military caste.
We desire to punish the guilty.

present carnage impossible and that
object will be attained if in Germany
the people possess the right to decide
questions of war and peace for them
selves.
