bands regard for the woman was
noticeable she lived for five years
without thought OF what was really
transpiring. Finally. she said. she had
talk with her husband. with the re-
suit that she left him In 1894. There
was no legal separation. and she asked
for no financial support. because she
had a small inheritance from her
mother on which she has lived now for
twenty-seven years. She even neglected
TO ask ner husband to return sum
of money which she had lent him, for
in those days Mr.. Clarke was strug-
Cling lawyer.
Never Tried TO Get a Divorce.
Mrs. Clarke said that although she
had been separated from ner husband
for twenty-seven years, neither of them
ever tried to get a divorce or even a.
legal separation. and that there never
had been any scandal or gossip linking
her husbands name with that of Miss
Hallett. She has Iived quietly. but she
said last night that her existence had
been a starved one. because she missed
ner nuSDanu aHsctlOnS ana the dttei-
tions which she had thought were to be
hers through life.
In recent years Mr.. Clarke attained
international prominence as a lawyer.
He was counsel for the New York and
New Jersey Bridge Company, and the
North River Bridge Company and prose-
cuted the famous Kemp and Dunlay
cases. He appeared for the United
States and Venezuela Company in the
Crichfeld claim and other litigation
which grew out OF the activities of
President Castro of Venezuela.
He prosecuted the claim of the Nc
Givney & Rokeby Company against the
Cuban Government under the Platt
amendment, for the execution of sewer
and paving contracts in Havana. and
he was counsel Cor the United States
in the FL Chanizel case. which settled a
sixty year old boundary dispute with
Mexico over certain lands near FL Paso.
He was widely known as a writer on
legal topics and was the author of The

The action of the Senate Finance
Committee in favoring the bill approx
ed by President Harding to give Soc-
rotary Mellon power to conduct .te
negotiations regarding the funding
of the allied debt to the
United States, subject only to the aa-

Tie failure of the proposed amend

TUBERCULOSIS TALK HERE.

Some time ago DR.. David r. Lyman
head of the Wildwood sanitarium,
spoke before convention of visiting
nurses and directors of their organi-
cations, in this city.
1t was one of the opportunities that
come to people here to learn facts re-
garding matters of vital moment.
The statement yesterday Of resi-
dent physician of that sanltarlum,
that conditions in Hartford in regard
to the tubercular ex-service man are
very serious indeed, and that the fault
lies mainly with the ex-serVlce man
himself because of his failure to take
the proper treatment provided him,
and to continue it, should be needed
by everyone, ex-service man or civil
ian, and needed Immediately.
tuberculosis is practically durable
if taken in time and if the advice
freely given is followed all through
life
The longer the delay in beginning
have appeared, the fewer are the
chances that the disease will be cured,
and the more strict will be the pre-
cautions necessary to be taken in after
life to keep the disease under control.
It is practically committing suicide
to allow the disease to get hold of one
without taking immediate steps to
stop it's progress.
The needing of the advice of a man
who has been in tuberculosis work in
Connecticut for seventeen years, may
save many lives.
If victim begins treatment the
moment the first indications appear,
continues that treatment at the sani-
tarium, whittier he may go until he
is discharged, and keeps on living &C
cording to the advice given him at
such a sanitarium or by a physician
who understands the disease, there is
no reason why the former sufferer
may not live long and happily
But he must never forget for
moment, if he is to remain free from
the disease, that it will return to him
if he fails to continue observance OF
the directions given him as to exer-
else, OVERRIDING and other matters
which must govern his actions as
long as he lives.
The situation in Hartford is prob
ably the situation in New Britain and
other places. q f1& K.
The tubercular man. as well as 9TH
ers, should make their first business
in life the attending to this danger
now, at once, before another day has
passed. A failure to do this may
shortly end that life. The chance for
a cure is given. The man or woman
who neglects to use that chance COM
mits a crime against himself or her
self, against the community and
against those yet to be born into the
world.

1t is good to see the beginning OF

however, that the pendulum will NJ

From a combination of these facts,

Do you mean to tell me, sir,
Sitting here and watching her,
That old Time would dare to blur
Face so fair?
That the unrelenting years,
With their rivulets of tears,
Shall efface a love that cheers,
Everywhere?
Seeing her, as we do now,
With no furroW on her brow,
Makes me hope that Time somehow,
May forget:
May forget and pass her by,
Leaving luster in her eye,
Saving her from sorrows sigh
And regret.
If I had the magic power
I'd protect her ev'ry hour,
And be careful that the shower
Spinning gold
On her hair, in the sun,
Kept it's sparkles, one by one,
And yet she should always shun
Growing old.
I would pledge her life should be
Full Of youth and ecstacy-
And I'd ask the same for me
BY her side.
Here and now I would bestow
On my love, and keep it so,
All the sainted joyful glow
OF a bride.
For it seems to me a crime
That such beauty, youth sublime,
Should be taken in it's prime
|, Off the stem;
Should be faded by the sums,
Shot at by the Seasons guns,
Slaughtered, as they killed the Huns,
Love, the gem.
I agree with what you say:

Piling years up, day by de.y,-
Has 20 heart !;

It's all right. Men may now modi-

and reyeI in a bit of comfort. Men
will no longer be obliged to observe
tho oppressive rules which have for
hidden them from any attempt at
getting relief from the hot weather.
Perhaps, just perhaps, men may go
as far as to remove their coats while
eating a meal at home. OF course
this is carrying the thing pretty Tar,
but, as indicated, the facts which
have come to light show that infor-
fnality is quite allowable.
This statement is made after the
deepest consideration OF news just re-
ceived from Madrid, Spain. 1t is de-
clared that "the extreme heat Of this
summer has melted the ice Of Span
