An Old Fault Finder

An irritable and fault finding dispo-
sition is often caused by indigestion.
A man with good digestion and bow
els that act regularly is usually good
natured. When troubled with indi-
gestion or constipation take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. They also
cause a gentle movement of the bow
els.

What Would We Do Without Divorce?
Woman Jurist Believes
Divorces Should Be
N Hard to Secure

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 1S.-Make
divorces harder to get.
This is the method suggested by
Miss Ella Groninger, first woman to
sit as a judge in Indiana, to combat
the divorce evil.
George S. Tenney OF Indianapolis,
who was the first man to appear be-
fore a woman judge in the state, is
= married man today because Judge
Groninger adhered to her principle
Of fewer divorces and refused his pc
tition for decree.
The feminine view of Tenney's
case was taken by the woman jurist,
sitting as special judge in superior
court.
From the evidence, this woman
has given this man 20 of the best
years Of her life and the court is Of
the opinion that the man is not enti-
tied to a divorce" said the woman
judge. "The decree will be denied"
"But, your honor" protested Ten
ney's counsel, "the evidence showed
that the wife came home in the
mornings as late as 4 4. H."
"Yes, and as far as the evidence
goes retorted the court, again de-
tending the feminine point of view,
"she might have been visiting sick
friend"
Explaining her attitude on d.
vorces, arrived at during a number
of years in her brothers law Office,
during which she served as deputy
prosecuting attorney in the defense
of defaulted divorce cases, Miss Gro
ringer declared that too many do
not learn the greatest lesson of mar
ried life, give and take"
Here are some rules laid down by
the feminine jurist for the benefit Of

The Secret Sorrow

What is it the green leaves whisper
When the year is young and
bright,
And the leaves that are sere and
criSper
In the wan October night?
The river grieves to the sallow,
The mountain weeps to the plain
The mint signs low to the mallow
And the wind walls over the main
The yellow sunshine lieth
On the face of the waning year,
Like pallid smile that dieth
On the tren1ulous lips of fear;
There's a sorrow too deep for dis
sembling,
There's an anguish too Keen to be-
tray,
There's a terror too fearful for
trembling,
There's a pallor more pale than
the day.
There's secret, a heartache, a
trouble,
A mystery OF misery, sign
That floats upon time, as bubble
Swims on the cool surface Of
wine; II
The heart of the great world is
throbbing
With an inarticulate pain,
And the sound of the sea IS its
sobbing,
And its tears are the falling rain.
