HADN'T TAKEN HIM FOR THAT
Nothing in NuptiaI Contract Stipu- lated That Woman Had United
 Herself to Brass Band.

The trifllng causes that some people set forth In seeking q divorce came up for discussion at a social gather ing, when the following anecdote was related by William A. Smith of Mich igan:
 Some time since a woman entered the office of a lawyer. and on being asked the nature of her business by the legal light, declared with a posi- tive air that she wished to sue for a separation from her husband.
 Just a moment" responded the lawyer. Lets begin at the begin ming. Why do you wish divorceY'
 Because my husband Snores," an- swered the would-be-client He snores so loudly that I cannot sleep
 That K something. of course" re- turned the lawyer, with an inward smile, but didn't you take him for better or for worse?9
 q surely did," was the prompt re joinder of the other, but 1 didn't take him for brass band. d."-Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.

The largest finest and best fur nished room in the war department is now called the 'turndown room Here gather daily all of the people who want to see Secretary Baker and who have not been accorded inter- views in his private office. Those who are given interviews in his private office are likely to have something to say which the secretary wants to know about or may have a proposition which the secretary may accept. But in this outside office ii is different The people who assemble there belong to the "forlorn hope" crowd. Dozens every day are there and proffer their requests and are turned down. The secretary of war enters the room with n negative countenance. he has the ever-ready "I am sorry, but I cannot do it." at his tongues end, and that Is usually what the visitors In the turn down room" hear Of course, 1t is always accompanied by an expla- nation as to rules regulations or laws which stand in the way of granting the request.

Here is another sacrifice that the people of America have got to make. coming fin the way of q statement from the forest service and referring to President Wilson's appeal to the Boy Scouts of America to help win the war by locating black walnut trees. The statement goes on to say that black walnut lumber is needed for manu- featuring airplane propellers and gun stocks. and then mentions the scarcity of black walnut in this country. Thirty to fifty years ago there was q great deal of black walnut in the country, hut if was cut down and used for fire wood and for the manufacture of fur nltnrp. A considerable amount of old black walnut furniture Is still in ex- istence. But the sacrifice which now is to be made is the loss of the fruit of the black walnut trees. There Is m better. richer or more delicious nut meat than that which comes from the hlack walnut tree Like all other good things. it Is hard 10 get but 1t Is very fine when obtained. But as these trees are necessary for war purposes, they will have TO go, along with many of the other luXuries which the people of the United States have enjoyed.

II Is a characteristic of nearly every speaker of the house of representa- lives that he desires to he absolutely right In hs rulings, although he natu- rally desires to he on the side of his own party. But perhaps none of the predecessors of Speaker Clark was quite so anxious to be impartial and just as he is. Recently some point was being argued in the house which the speaker had decided, and ns the dehate went along Congressman Walsh of Massachusetts asked if the speaker had not ruled on this ques- tion.

That which was once sacred tradition and ap unwritten law in the United States senate is now only a memory The tradition was that new senator should not take part In the debates until he had sat at the feet of the seniors for at least one session. The tradition was shat tered when 12 new senators entered the senate 2J years ago, and 1t has been put upon the scrap heap by the progressive movement which has in- troduced into the senate many men with a message and ideas on all sub ieetS of public interest. And so the tradition is but memory.
 old habtueS of the senate realized this fact when, within two or three weeks after taking the oath of office Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin took an active part in the discussion of the rivers and harbors bill. and even be- fore that he had shown n determina- ton to do his duty by 0hiecting to va rious pet measures of senators, which have usually passed without opposition on account of senatorial courtesy but which have q somewhat dubious repu- tation in the halls of legislation. What is an interesting fact, in connection with Lenroot'S activity is that he was listened to by other senators and attention given to what he had to say.

 Army officers administering the law ana dealing with applications for ex- emptian. especially when they were harked by senators and representa- lives in congress, found considerable difficulty in adjusting the various sit nations in view of the fact that here fin Washington many thousands or clerks claimed exemption as employ eee of lhe government, while large number of other young men within the draff age were seeking and securing commissions In the NarlouS houcoih- batant staff corps and were very nu- merous in their uniforms on the streets of Washington and in the departments.
 There has been q decided change on this score within the last few weeks. The provost marshal generals office has been reaching into the depart ments and lifting out the clerks who were within the draft age and liable 10 service. Every department has been called upon to furnish the num- Der and names of all men within the draft age Another reform has been startes by the secretary of war, which is the wedding out of staff officers in Washington who have been filling cler- lea positions of course this cannot be accomplished in its entirety. but 1t has been remarked during the past few weeks that many officers in uni form. with suitcases in their hands, lave been seen vending their way to the tniou station on the route to Somewhere with the possibility of doing real military duty.
