Her Father.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 21-A quiet,
middle-aged man came before John
A. Gardner. the warrant clerk of the
Court of Domestic Relations, to get
warrant for the arrest of his wife,
He was pathetically apologize about
1t. In that place where the white
light OF publicity must play into the

planned quietly. II want her sent
back to the House of the Good Shep-
herd to take the cure over. That is
the only thing l know 10 do for her"
The people about the court remem-
bered her. for she had been in only a
short time before to ask to have her
children back with her. after she had
taken the cure and remained sober
for three months.
What, that fine looking woman ?"
said they, their voices colored with
pity.
We'll, she was just so disappointed

she couldn't stand straight"
II seemed they had been given into
the care of an aunt when the mothers

had to be sent away, and after a six

account. 1t began quite little while
ago. but has been so bad just the last
few years.
we lost a daughter, sixteen years
old, Il year and a half ago, and that
affected her mother seriously. She

cordially. for in this court all are

Just below Bagdad. on the Tigris.
there stands a wonderful ruin known
as the Arch of Ctesiphon-all that re-

The ruins consist OF an immense
chamber, 81 feet wide by 154 feet long.
with an arched roof In one single span
Of the whole width, the crown of the
arch being 104 feet high. The edifice
has back. but in front is entirely open

Der. On one side. at the same height
as the arch, extends kind of facade
The whole building Is constructed of
burnt bricks about a foot square, and
1t Is supposed that the front was orig
inally cased with marble.
Historical records show Ctesiphon
was second Babylon In point Of size
and in the splendor of its palaces and
princely houses. When taken by the
Romans 100000 captives and a rich
booty fell into their possession Later
1t became the capital of Persia. Here
Chosroes, the twenty-third king of Per-
STA, lived In great style. His throne
was in palace of prodigious height
and so vast that it was supported by
10000 silver columns. Its roof was en-
riched with 1000 golden globes. which
all had different movements and repre-
scented the planets and the varioas con-
stellations.
Some centuries later this wonderful
palace and city were sacked by the
Arabs, since when it has gradually de-
cayed, all that remains today being this
single arch.-Wide World Magazine.
