Special to The Washington Herald
New York. Feb l4.-John Ellis Roose-
welt, first cousin Of Theodore Roosevelt,
wept today in supreme court. Brooklyn,
while testifying regarding the codness
of his bride-a bride who, he said, was
such in name alone. In broken. halting
tones. he related between sobs the failure
Of mating December and May. He is
now s. years old. and his wife, as near
as he could learn, is about half that age.
AS calm and unmoved as the Sphinx
they visited on honeymoon trip to
the Nile, Mrs. Roosevelt sat throughout
the day. To her husbands fearful story
of wrecked hopes, the differences of
physicians opinions, the zero bride" re-
turned a quiet but emphatic denial that
she was less than she should have been.
Married in District of Columbia.
The plaintiff. who is seeking an annul-
ment of his marriage, met the charming
Mrs. Edith Hammersley shortly after
the death of his first wife in 1912. He
had been happily married for thirty-twO
years, he said, and had three children.
The present Mrs. Roosevelt had then
but recently become a widow. The mar
riage of the plaintiff and Mrs Ham,
mersley took place in Washington, Jan
uary s, 1914, at the home of the plain
tiff's brother, Robert E Roosevelt, who
had but shortly before married the de-

His "Demands Excessive"
Our differences began on the steam

to the charges of her husband. He
made life unbearable by lis excessive
demands"

her counsel asked.
Yes, always" was her reply She
spoke in tones so subdued that Justice
Crane, before whom the suit is oe'nG
heard. leaned forward or asked the wit
ness to repeat her answers several times.
Wasn't there a great deal of discus
sion between you and Mr.. Roosevelt as
to occupying twin beds?"
"Quite a great deal. yes. ! imagine
that is half of his complaint" the Wit
ness responded.

Canoe Trails

Broad is the track that the steamer
takes
Wide are the ways of the windy lakes.
Dear are the lakes to me.
And the sparkling sound is good,
Bright Is the river. too
But the stream that winds to the heart
of the wood
Is the trail of the little canoe.
Up through the fields where cattle
browse.
Up through the farms of rye,
Under the arching hemlock boughs.
Under the laughing sky,
Out through the maze where the musk
rats hide.
Drawn like a silver cIew,
Clear to the buttressed mountainside
Goes the trail of the little canoe.
Clean blue flags In stately ranks
Stand where the shadows CLEAN;
Ferns grow thick on the messy banks
Edging the deeper stream:
Tanagers fash in the vaulted leaves
Where. family shimmering through,
A drowsy pattern the sunlight weaves
On the trail of the little canoe.
Dip of the paddle, gurgle and plash.
Quiet and bird-note clear.
White of the birch. gray of the ash
Balm of the heart is here.
Here where the boldest footpaths cease
The loveliest road to the shrines of
peace
rs the trail of the little canoe.
Here where the best is true:

a BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

I I n n appeal to the business men of
IA Harrisburg was issued to-day by
Secretary Wendell P. Raine. of
the Harrisburg branch of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Wharton school,
to encourage the young men and
women in their employ to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities afforded
by the university extension. Not only
should every business man give this
appeal earnest consideration. but every
young man and woman who expects to
enter or is now in the field of business
will do we'll to weigh carefully the
message of that appeal with respect to
their own futures.
AS Mr.. Raine points out, Harrisburg
is one of four PENNSYLVANIA cities that
enjoy the advantages of business train
ing of a university standard The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania has been
brought to the door of every ambitious
youth in Central Pennsylvania. No
longer need anyone deny himself of
that training which makes for success
in big way in the realm of business.
All the wider and broader viewpoints
of business can be had by anyone will
ing to sacrifice a few hours each even
ing in study. Such equipment as a
knowledge of commercial law, markets
and prices, accounting, money and
credit, government regulation of busi-
ness, insurance, investments. advertis-
ing. salesmanship, real estate, eco
nomics-in short, all those powers
-
world of dollars and cents can be
possessed by you, Mr.. Bank Clerk. Miss
Stenographer. Mr.. Bookkeeper, If you
but have the ambition to acquire them.
You will miss many hours of pleas
ure? Yes, but remember it is better
to bear the yoke in your youth than
when you are old. You hope to fill
the shoes of the head of the plant
some day? Well. just make little in
yestigation and you'll find he was
working nights when he was a young
man while the old men now in his
employ were having good time"
In his appeal Mr.. Raine points out
that the progressive business men of
Wilkes-B Barre and Scranton. realizing
the benefit therefrom to them, have
adopted the plan of promoting whar-
ton school trained men in preference
20 nontrained men-not because of
favoritism. but because of superior
business ability. because they are bet
ter money makers.
In Harrisburg the wide-awake heads
of business houses are doing the same
thing. This year a new group of am
bilious young men and young women
will enter the Wharton school and in
three years they will be equipped to
fill the big places in the Harrisburg
banks. stores. mills. factories and
manufacturing plants. Will you be in
the Wharton classes this winter? Or
do you prefer the movies and medi-
ocrity?

must stand behind a protective tariff

must stand behind a protective tariff
or be ready to face disaster of a
magnitude heretofore undreamed.
England is aiming first at Germany,
determined to ruin her. but America
Is a fine target, also, and not to be
neglected. Great Britain proposes to
erect about herself a protective tariff
wall. Free trade is dead issue in
London. She is willing to buy our
wheat. our corn and our cotton, and
would exchange manufactured goods
therefor. In other words. England
wants to purchase foodstuffs and pay
for them with the product of her
cheap labor mills, with which high
priced American labor cannot COM
plete. At time when the tariff
should be an over-shadowing issue of
vital Importance all too little attention
is being paid to it.
OF course, talk of running Germany
in trade way is nonsense. as is the
movement to restrict the trade of the
allies strictly to the allies. Germany
will not sit idle while her present
enemies walk off with all the business
in the world. Neither will America,
but both Germany and America must
have weapons with which to fight and
in the case of this country a Re-
publican tariff. enacted by a Republi-
can House and Senate and Re-
publican President, is the heaviest
artillery at our command No half
way Democratic measures will suffice

surprise over the comparatively little
interest taken In this region in beauti-

them said
In portions of the West through
