"Chain Lightning

. NE WYORK, Nov. 3.-In Bangor
Maine, man with thirst has his
choice between one-half of / per cent
beer and whiskey, real or imitation,
says dispatch from Bangor, print
ed Friday in the New York World
There is nothing in between, no way
stations. AS one bartender puts it,
"you have your pick between suds and
Shocks"
Those who would squander but a
dime take "suds" and try to imagine
that they have drink of beer. Those
who are reckless of expense put up
80 or 40 cents and get something that
makes the world seem brighter, even
if it does burn all the way to the boot
heels.
Local stocks of whiskey are run
ming a trife low this week, but with
plenty of Canadian stuff coming in
over the northern and eastern borders
there seems no chance Of killing
drought unless a strong standing
army is strung out along the frontier.
Last night, Governor Milliken sent
an order to all sheriffs to enforce the
law against all beverages containing
over one-half of / per cent of alco-
hol. This created no stir. Things go
along as usual except that the sa-
loon keepers say that they have got

dishing out the weaker fluid in its

Unkissed for Two
Years, Wife Sues

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.--A man who
can't appreciate the superiority of
patent fasteners over buttons for wo-
mems gowns and refuses to kiss his
wife before relatives and permits her
to go unkissed and unhugged for two
years, is enough to cause any woman
to take up a position in which she can
earn $25 week and seek a legal sep
aration from her husband, according
to Mrs. Amelia Skerl, young and
pretty, who testified before Supreme
Court Justice Platzek Friday in her
suit for separation from Frank A..
Skerl, a mechanical engineer and in
ventor.
Mrs. Skerl testified that she mar
ried Skerl July 10th, 1910, in this
city, and that they went to Europe
for their hon ymoon. While they
were on the boat on their way over,
she said, her husband went through
her trunks, and, after telling her
never to use pins on her clothes, or
dered her to replace all fasteners on
her dresses with buttons.
On later occasion, she said, he
objected to the cut of house dress
and made her rip it apart and remake
it three times before he was satisfied,
His chief objection, she testified, was
the way the seams on the inside were
finished.
At Trieste, where they stopped on
their honeymoon, they had their first
rel she testified, and he allowed
her to go several days without kissing
her.
Mrs. Skerl, in her testimony, also
complained of a routine consisting
entirely of eating and sleeping, to
which she said her husband was ad-
dicted, and says he forced her to fol
low. He would get up in the morn
ing, she said, eat his breakfast and
20 to his office. At noon he would
come back for hasty lunch and dash
back to the office. At 8 o'clock in the
evening he would come home for din
ner, and at 8 o'clock he would go to
bed.
While they were living in DAYTON
Ohio, in 1916, she said her husband
decided she needed little discip-
lining, and did not speak to her for
two weeks. Finally, in November
1918, she left him and obtained a po-
sition in a phonograph store at $25
a week. Since then, she testified, She
has been living with her mother in
Jamaica.
