DESERTED Wife
TAKES POISON
Seventeen Year Old Wife Of Rudolph
Thompson, of Ute, Drinks Wood
Alcohol in Attempt to End Life
is DAUGHTER OF W. s. MASTERS,
She Returned From Visit and e..2
Became Historically Despondent When
Found Her Husband Gone = /

Ute, July I1-Quite little sensation
was prevalent in Ute last Sunday eve
ming when it, was learned that the
young II year old wife Of Rudolph
Thompson had drunk a quantity OF
wood alcohol in an attempt to end her
life after she was certain that her
young husband had deserted her. The
quick action of her. mother and near
by neighbors in administering an
emetic and securing the services of a
physician saved the, young lady from
severe results of the rash act, and on
Tuesday evening she had recovered
sufficiently to accompany her mother
to the parental home near Denison.
The young couple had been resi-
dents of Ute since the first of June,
when they moved here from Charter
Oak and the husband took charge of
the Milwaukee section and it was a
surprise to our people to learn that
the domestic relations in this young
household were otherwise than pleas
ant. ~.
The story goes that the young wife
had. gone on visit to her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Masters, who re-
side on a farm five miles east OF Den
ison, and her mother returned with
her Sunday morning hoping to find
that, the, husband chad returned home
and all would be we'll. LATTER all efforts
on the part of the wife to locate the
whereabouts of her husband, and find
ing all of his personal effects had been.
removed from the house, she became
Historically respondent, and while her
mother was absent from the room on
Sunday evening she attempted the
suicide act which was foiled.
These young people were married
last November, and it is said against
the wishes of the parents of both. The
husband is 21 years of age and the
wife II, so we are informed.
On Tuesday evening when the
young wife departed with her mother
for the home near Denison, nothing
had been learned concerning the
of her husband.-Ute In.

Old EnuIish Furniture.

That fine old furniture is yet found
in Britain in many unexpected places
Is said to be largely due to the STIR
ring up of the country that was given
by the great exhibition at London OF
1851. This was soon after the devel-
opment of the railway system in Eng
land, and there flocked to London,
large number Of squires and their
wives. A new world had opened to
the country DANES. The new things
had wonderful fascination for them.
On returning home they got rid OF
much of their old furniture and
bought new. Much of the Iold furni-
ture found its way to secondhand
shops, and was sold to poor folk, who
could not afford to buy new. This ac-
counts for the finding today Of much
good old furniture in small houses in
provincial towns and among country
eople,-Indianapolis News.

anecdote along that line.
Some time since Smith and his wire
went out for a spin in their new auto
mobile, but before they had gone many
miles something went amiss with the

things, and finally there came sundry
words that sounded like breaking one
of the blue laws.

According to information which
has been furnished by the depart

not at present used for the manufac-
ture of buttons or for similar uses,
but both occur in great numbers on
rocky coasts near the low-tide mark,
the paua being much the commoner.

ANGLING foR RICH PATRONS
How a New York Mlliner Catches the
Unwary Western Woman
With Money.

In Womans Home Companion,
Corinne Lowe tells of the wiles USED
by Fifth avenue milliner in max
ing the "Fern Piper" hat famous:
"Those for whom the spider spread
it's web were not the wealthy ana
questionable women of New York,
but wealthy and prompt customers
from the middle West. These are the
people who make money for every
Fifth avenue speciality shop. AND
the only difficulty which now lay. in
our path was that this profitable Gus
tom always has to be secured through
reputation for serving the most
fashionable members of New York. So
ciety, those notorious fashionaDles
who are so sensitive to a second bill
and who never think of paying their
first one until at least six months have
elapsed,
"At first we did not have a single
member of this sorority. What We
did was to fake them. This was
achievel/by several ingenious meth-
DDS. One of these was to pay STU a
week each to the chauffeurs of Mrs.
Philip Rhinestewart and of MES. Gin
ton De Sale Rives for driving their
crested limousines up before our
doors when these same ultra-fasmon-
| able employers were otherwise en-
gagged. The empty limousines We're
extremely elficacious, and it was not
long before the women who were try
ing to get into fashionable society
were impressed. One by one they came
| to us.
MEANWHILE, we were also paying
the clerks of two Of the smartest OF
New York's hotels to recommend Fern
Piper to their rich out-of-town pa
| trens." ~

WEAPONS of War,

This is the most scientific war ever
fought. There is less dependence on
man power and more on machinery
than at any time in the history of the
world, says the Popular Science
Monthly. We pin our faith to high ex-
plosives, poison gases, tear shells, gas
masks, liquid fire, etc., all of which
are applied chemistry, and to machine
guns, heavy artillery, automobiles, SUBJ
marines, airplanes, and so forth,
which are very much refined mechan-
les. The greatest minds in the scien-
tific and mechanical world have pooled
their brains and obtained wonderful
results.

sight of the navy department, oah-
tain Smith seems to be developing
very ardent brand of Amerlcanism
among the island people, who are
known as, Chamorros and have
strong admixture of Spanish blood. :
The News Letter describes the cele-
bration of Washington's birthday In
Guam, to which the people hocked
from all parts Of the island, coming
by launch, owing to the absence OF any
island highway SYSTEM. The proceeds
of the various enterprises, amounting
to S1,27O55, were donated to the Red
Cross, and we gather that the program
of amusement was purely American.
For instance, the "hot dol" STAND
realized $1OS.94; Buffers soda, Sl5o.-
so: knock the cat down, Sll2.O7; the
moving picture show, $3.50; the 1lt-
ney dance, $45.60; wheel OF fortune
s35O1O: lemonade stand, $72.O3; base
ball game, $1640. From all sources
the Red Cross received $l,5OO' ana
subscriptions were given for $oO,ooo IN
Liberty bonds.
More than this, the island militia
had it's first parade. Some time ago
Governor Smith put into effect uni
versal military training law at the re-
quest of the people, this being the
first portion of American territory III
which such law has been made eirec-
tive. There are 1000 militiamen, the
government supplying guns and am
munition and the regular khaki uni
form of the United States army. Seven
per cent of Guam's population IS IN
the militia, at which rate, if we OF the
mainland kept up with the Chamorros'
we should have an army of 7,OOOOoo'
The flags and floats of the parade in
duced a tremendous enthusiasm IN
the populace.

Spy System Originated by italian.

Secret service organizations and
spy systems, as well as detective bu-
reaus as part of municipal police
forces, were originated by the Mar
Quis D'Argenson, native Of Venice
who went to France in 1857 and be-
came head of the police department.
D'Argenson first achieved fame as
a state secret agent in Venice. In
Paris he organized a municipal secret
agency that would now be called de-
tective bureau. After he had trans
formed the Paris police~force from a
disorderIy band into a highly efficient
body of gendarmes, he turned his at
tention to international affairs and in
augurated a system Of espionage in
foreign nations likely to be at war
with France.
Carl Stieher. organized the Prussian
spy system on the model furnished by
D'Argenson's force and sent thousands
of men into Austria and France be-
fore the wars against those countries.
