that prohibition has been strong, not

whisky. but because they hate the sa-
loon. There should be no mans drink

Mr. Gilmore bases his confident pre-

tisements. Gibson said he had served
three different terms in Federal prisons

who is dead, the prisoner was asked if
he thought he had fine code of morals
"Oh yes he replied. ~ think
have just as good as anybody
When asked why he advertised for
wives, Gibson said he did it more for
amusement than anything else
Il didn't advertise to marry the lady"
said Gibson, "simply advertised for a
lady friend.'

by Mrs. Bessie Dehart Gibson, of Man
haitian, known as wife No. 8. Gibson
said he married her in PHILADELPHIA

marital business in 1891 by marrying

July 25, 1919, Gibson said he married
his fifth wife, Ida May listed, in Os-
sining.

and this was the undoing of Gibson
He was trailed with wife No. 5 to
Richmond, where Deputy Sheriff Ben
jamin Crawford arrested him on a
bench warrant. His young bride was
brought back as material witness.
Three wives were in court during
Gibson's trial. They did not speak to
one another.
Gibson said he had served term
in the Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsyl-
vania for bigamy. When asked why he
had married so many women he re-

when Sir Henry Banbury, under

as follows:
Napolcon's Sentence
1T would be inconsistent with our
duty toward III country and the
Allies of his Majesty if General Bo-
naparte possessed the means of again
disturbing the repose of Europe. 1t
is on this account that it becomes
absolutely necessary that he should
be retained in his personal liberty,
so far as this may be required by
the foregoing important object. The
Island of Saint Helena has been
chosen as his future residence. Its
climate is healthy, and it's local po-
sition will allow of his being treated
with more indulgence than could be
permitted in any spot, owing to the
indispensable precaution which
would be necessary to employ for the
security of his person."
Sir George Cockburn, to whom
was delegated the task of conveying
Napoleon to the isle of exile, was
instructed to recognize him not as
an Emperor but simply as a General.
The deposed rulers baggage was
searched and $4,000 in gold and all
his valuable personal effects were
removed. He al permitted to re-
tain $4,000 with which to pay his
personal servants. From the time
of his departure until his death Ma

Dean Wears Knockers
tDes Moines Registerl

Years ago Dean Holmes Cowper,
of Drake University, after carefully
studying portraits of men of Revolu-
tionary time and after having been
presented with a frilly black satin
evening coat by his grandmother,
property of his grandfather, decided
the clothes that men of modern
times wore were highly unbecom-
ing, also uncomfortable.
Dean Cowper firmly believed they
had it all cover us" when it came to
stylish, becoming, and well-fitted
clothes.
He tried airing his opinions and
even, in some instances, advocated
reform. He met with little enthu~
siasm. He abandoned active work
on the idea, but he never gave up
wondering if something couldn't be
done about it.
Then the war anne along and
Dean Cowper got into a uniform.
Not the least of the joys that Dean
Cowper got out of the khaki, was
the wearing of leather leggins and
knee breaches.
In March the dean was "demob-
ilized." He bitterly resented the long
trousers which came with cit
clothes. He bided his time. Waited
until he found just what he wanted
and came out yesterday morning
with knee ~breeches, wooden stock
ings, a stick. a natty sport hat, and
a belted coat.
And he refuses to listen to any
thing but admiring comments. He is
perfectly comfortable, and he says
he won't wear long trousers.
What will you do about evening
~clothes?" he was asked.
We'll, I suppose I'll have to wear
those long" then. suddenly getting
an idea. 1T wouldn't be half bad,
though, would it-with black silk
stockings and buck1es?"
Dean Cowper says a gentleman is
well dressed when his boots are per-
fectly polished and his linen is
clean. "And why shouldn't he dress
comfortable"
II look for lots of men to wear
them now. after having been in the
army" he declared.
